Connect Short.io to your AI agents with the Short.io MCP server.
Updated
What is Short.io MCP?
The Short.io MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Short.io to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Short.io (link shortening service) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.
It is a remote MCP server that uses a bearer token, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the Short.io tools become available to the model.
