Linkonda MCP server

Create and manage Linkonda short links from Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or any other MCP client.

Linkonda records a total redirect count per link and nothing else — no IP addresses, geolocation, device data, or referrers. That matters more than usual for an agent, which can generate links in bulk without building a visitor dataset you then have to secure, retain, and answer requests about.

Works without an API key

Most shortener MCP servers refuse to start without credentials. This one shortens URLs immediately on install: anonymous links are capped per network and expire after 30 days. Add a key when you want links that persist and can be managed.

Bearer authentication requires a paid plan — see pricing. Create a key in the dashboard under API keys; it is shown once.

Install

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Claude Code: .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkonda": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@veranoapp/linkonda-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

To use an API key, add it to the same entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkonda": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@veranoapp/linkonda-mcp"],
      "env": { "LINKONDA_API_KEY": "lk_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Tools

shorten_links_bulk is partial-success: some entries can fail (quota, invalid URL) while others are created, and the tool reports both lists rather than only the successes.

What you cannot get

There is no per-visitor data to return, so there are no tools for geographic, device, or referrer breakdowns — that data is never collected. If your workflow needs click attribution, a tracking shortener is the right tool; see the comparisons.
