What is the Clypt MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Clypt MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. AI-native link intelligence — shorten, track, and manage links from any AI agent.

The short version

You'll need a Clypt API key. Get one at clypt.io/dashboard/settings.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:

  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • shorten_link — Create a shortened Clypt link. - url (required) — The URL to shorten - slug — Custom short code - tags — Tags to attach - expiresAt — Expiration date
  • list_links — List your shortened links with search and filtering. - search — Search by URL, title, or short code - tag — Filter by tag - limit — Results per page
  • get_link_analytics — Get click analytics for a specific link. - linkId (required) — Link ID or short code - period — Time period: 7d, 30d, 90d, or all
  • get_dashboard_stats — Get high-level dashboard statistics (total links, clicks, top performers). No parameters required
  • generate_qr_code — Generate a QR code for any URL. - url (required) — URL to encode - size — Size in pixels (100-1000) - fgColor — Foreground hex color - bgColor —
  • manage_tags — Create or list tags. - action (required) — create or list - name — Tag name (for create) - color — Tag color hex (for create)
  • manage_folders — Create or list folders. - action (required) — create or list - name — Folder name (for create) - parentId — Parent folder ID (for create)
  • bulk_shorten — Shorten multiple URLs at once (max 25). - urls (required) — Array of URLs - tags — Tags for all links - folderId — Folder for all links
  • delete_link — The delete_link tool exposed by this server
  • create_ab_test — Create an A/B split test on a link (Pro plan or above). - linkId (required) — The link ID to test - variants (required) — Array of 2–5 variants, each
  • get_ab_test_results — Get A/B test results including per-variant clicks, statistical significance (chi-square), and winner recommendation. - linkId (required) — The link ID

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at clypt-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: CLYPT_API_KEY, CLYPT_BASE_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

How it compares

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Clypt's toolset — Cursor, shorten_link, list_links and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Bonsai-Tech-LLC; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Clypt's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Clypt.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Clypt to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (Cursor, shorten_link, list_links, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Clypt directly.
