sharecut-mcp
MCP server for ShareCut — generate QR codes, create
trackable short links, re-point them after the QR is printed, and read their
click analytics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
QR codes, link expansion and short-code checks are free and need no account.
Install
Remote server, nothing to install:
Or run this package over stdio:
Config file (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …)
SHARECUT_API_KEY is optional — leave it out and the three free tools still work.
Free tools — no API key, no account
Tools that need an API key
The interesting half. All of them act on the account the key belongs to.
update_link — the reason this server exists
Changes where an existing short link points. A ShareCut QR encodes the short
link, not the destination, so re-pointing the link redirects every copy already
printed, shared or stuck on a wall — and the click history comes along.
That difference is the whole point. A poster, a menu, a business card or a product
label outlives the URL printed on it. A static QR does not survive a site
migration or a campaign change; this one does.
The short code itself is deliberately immutable here: changing it would break
every copy already in circulation.
The rest
API key
Create it at sharecut.site/p/profile — API
access is part of the Business plan — then pass it as SHARECUT_API_KEY.
There is no programmatic sign-up: a person creates the key. See
auth.md for the full authentication contract.
How it works
This package is a thin stdio bridge to https://sharecut.site/mcp. It moves
newline-delimited JSON-RPC to that endpoint and back, which means zero
dependencies (fast npx start) and no upgrades to chase: the tools live on the
server, so new ones reach you without touching your config.
Point SHARECUT_MCP_URL elsewhere to target a different deployment.
