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., "@linkbit-mcp shorten https://example.com/spring-sale as slug spring"
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.

Scored across 9 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct resource+action targets. The main overlap is disable_link versus update_link (which already accepts a disabled flag), and get_link_stats versus get_analytics share a stats purpose though one is per-link and one is account-level.
Consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern throughout: shorten_url, list_links, update_link, disable_link, delete_link, get_qr, get_link_stats, get_analytics. The singular/plural distinction (shorten_url vs shorten_urls) is a reasonable, predictable convention.
Nine tools is well-scoped for a URL shortener, covering creation, management, and analytics without bloat. Each tool earns its place.
Full lifecycle is covered: single/bulk create, list, update, disable/re-enable, delete, plus QR generation and both link-level and account-level analytics. No obvious gaps for the stated domain.
Make, find, pause and track short links and QR codes from your AI assistant. Create short links with an optional custom address, title and tags; find links and QR codes; update, pause, resume, archive or restore them; and read click analytics (clicks, unique visitors, countries, referrers, devices, browsers) for a link, a QR code or the whole account.
