Scored across 5 tools
Each tool maps to a distinct resource+action: create a code, read plan status, read scan analytics, start a subscription, and change a redirect destination. There is no overlap between any pair, and descriptions explicitly note prerequisites (Pro, API key) that further separate them.
All five tools use consistent snake_case verb_noun patterns (create_qr_code, get_plan_status, get_scan_analytics, start_pro_subscription, update_destination). Verbs are used predictably: get for reads, create/start/update for mutations.
Five tools is a tight, well-scoped surface for a QR code service, with each tool earning its place. Nothing feels redundant or thin given the domain combines code creation, analytics, and billing.
The core lifecycle is covered: create a code, track scans, retarget a redirect code, and handle plan/subscription. Gaps exist for listing, fetching, or deleting a user's existing codes, but these are partly delegated to the claimUrl/web flow, so agents can work around them.
Available Tools
5 toolscreate_qr_codeCreate a QR codeAInspect
Free. Creates a QR code for a URL and returns a hosted PNG (imageUrl), optional SVG markup, and for "direct" codes a pageUrl your user can open to view and download it. Use variant "redirect" for a code that counts scans and, with Pro, can be pointed somewhere else later. Without an API key the result has a claimUrl: give it to your user so the code is added to their QR codes (it works for 30 days). Unsafe or non-public links are refused.
Inputs: url (required), format, variant.
get_plan_statusGet plan statusARead-onlyInspect
Free. With an API key, whether the key's owner has Pro and when it renews. Without one, what the free and Pro plans include and cost (Pro is $9/month).
Inputs: no named parameters.
get_scan_analyticsGet scan analyticsARead-onlyInspect
Free. How many times a QR code was scanned, in total and per day. Only "redirect" codes count scans. If the code's owner is on the free plan, only the last 7 days are included; Pro ($9/month) keeps the full history.
Inputs: id (required).
start_pro_subscriptionGet a Pro checkout linkARead-onlyInspect
Pro costs $9/month. This tool charges nothing: it returns a checkoutUrl for your user to open and pay through with Stripe in their own browser. Tell them the price first. Without an API key, Pro goes to the browser that opens the link and covers every QR code in it, including ones they add with a claimUrl. With a key, it subscribes the key's owner. Cancelling is done by the person on the site.
Inputs: email.
update_destinationChange where a QR code pointsADestructiveIdempotentInspect
Pro only ($9/month), and needs an API key whose owner has Pro and owns the code. Points a "redirect" QR code at a new URL without reprinting it. Without a key, tell your user they can do this on QRCodeDinosaur.com after claiming the code and subscribing (see start_pro_subscription).
Inputs: id (required), url (required).
