Instantly generate branded short links in Claude Desktop

The BL.INK MCP server gives Claude Desktop the power to register short URLs on the fly using your custom company domains. When you paste a long, messy link into your chat, your agent calls `shorten_link` to clean it up instantly. You don't have to log into a separate dashboard just to grab a quick link for a client. Your agent can also run `list_domains` to make sure you're using the right brand asset before creating the redirect.

Pull real-time click metrics directly into your chat

This MCP Server lets you audit how your shared links are performing without hunting down marketing dashboards. Ask your agent to run `get_link_analytics` on any specific path to see who is clicking your content. If a link is underperforming, you can direct Claude Desktop to run `update_link` to point the traffic to a fresh landing page. It keeps your campaigns agile and data-backed right from your desktop workspace.

Manage your entire redirect directory on the fly

Your BL.INK MCP server keeps your link library clean by letting your agent run `list_links` and `list_tags` directly in your workspace. You can quickly filter through thousands of corporate redirects without opening a browser tab. When an old campaign ends, tell the agent to trigger `delete_link` to keep your domain tidy. This prevents broken destinations and keeps your brand clean.
