QR Forge MCP server

An MCP server for QR Forge — create and manage trackable QR codes (links, files, Wi-Fi, WhatsApp, phone, email) straight from an AI agent. It's a thin client over the public QR Forge REST API; it stores nothing and authenticates with your QR Forge API token.

Get a token at https://qrforge.work/api/keys.

Two ways to use it

1. Local (stdio) — install and run on your machine

uvx qrforge-mcp            # or: pipx install qrforge-mcp

Add it to your MCP client (Claude Desktop / Claude Code) — claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qrforge": {
      "command": "qrforge-mcp",
      "env": { "QRFORGE_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here" }
    }
  }
}

Or with Claude Code's CLI:

claude mcp add qrforge --env QRFORGE_API_TOKEN=your-token-here -- qrforge-mcp

Environment variables:

2. Hosted — connect to our server, no install

The hosted server runs at https://mcp.qrforge.work/mcp/. Pass your token in the X-QRForge-Token header:

claude mcp add --transport http qrforge https://mcp.qrforge.work/mcp/ \
  --header "X-QRForge-Token: your-token-here"

The hosted server sits behind Cloudflare, which strips the Authorization header on streaming requests — so use X-QRForge-Token for the hosted endpoint. (Authorization: Bearer <token> still works for local/self-hosted instances.)

The hosted server is stateless and multi-user: it forwards each request's token to the API and never stores it.
