Perplexity

Create and Manage Links on the Fly

The `create_short_link` tool lets your agent instantly shorten a long URL. Just ask Claude. It can also use `update_link` to change a link's destination or `delete_link` to remove it entirely. No more logging into a separate dashboard. You can do all your basic link management from the same chat window where you're drafting campaign copy. It's just a faster way to work.

Pull Link Stats Directly into Your Chat

Use the `get_link_stats` tool to ask for the click count on any short link. Your agent will pull the numbers directly from AB.GL and show them to you. You can also get a full list of all your links and their stats using `list_links`. This is perfect for quick check-ins on campaign performance. Instead of opening another browser tab, just ask Claude Desktop for the latest numbers while you're writing your weekly report.

Check Your AB.GL Bio Pages and Domains

This MCP server gives your agent tools to handle your bio pages. You can use `get_bio_link` to see the details of a specific page or `list_bio_links` to get a summary of all of them. You can also check which custom domains you have configured with `list_domains`. It makes verifying your setup simple, all from one place, without breaking your flow.

Common questions about AB.GL MCP in Claude Desktop

Just ask your agent directly in chat. For example, type 'create a short link for [your URL]'. Claude will use the `create_short_link` tool from this MCP server and give you the new short URL back.

Yes. You can ask for stats on a specific link with a prompt like 'get stats for gl.ink/xyz'. Your agent uses the `get_link_stats` tool to pull the click data right into your conversation.

It does. You can't manage domains directly, but you can see which ones are configured. Just ask Claude to 'list my custom domains' and it will use the `list_domains` tool to show you what's connected to your AB.GL account.

For claude.ai on the web, there's zero install. You just add the Vinkius MCP server URL as a custom connector in your settings. If you use the native Claude Desktop app, you can add it to your local config file for it to run as a subprocess.

Your requests to manage AB.GL link data, like URLs and click stats, are processed in an isolated, ephemeral environment on Vinkius. Authentication is handled via a single token, and your AB.GL credentials are never exposed to the client or stored long-term.
