Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@barcode-scanner-mcp Generate a QR code for https://example.com"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP server for scanning and generating barcodes and QR codes.
Decode a barcode from a photo: "What does this barcode say?" → reads the image, detects the barcode format, and returns the decoded text.
Generate a QR code: "Create a QR code for https://example.com" → generates a PNG QR code image with configurable error correction.
Create shipping labels: "Generate a Code 128 barcode for tracking number 1Z999AA10123456784" → produces a barcode image in the specified format.
Verify printed barcodes: "Scan this product barcode and look up the item" → decodes the barcode and returns the text for further lookup.

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: decoding images, generating QR codes, and generating barcodes. There is no overlap or ambiguity between the tools.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: decode_image, generate_qr, generate_barcode. The naming is uniform and predictable.
With only 3 tools, the server is well-scoped and every tool serves a necessary core function in barcode/QR handling. The count is ideal for the domain.
The server provides both decoding and generation capabilities for barcodes and QR codes, covering the primary lifecycle of barcode operations. No obvious gaps exist within the stated purpose.
Screenshots, PDFs, image editing, QR codes, email validation and more through one hosted MCP server.
