Frequently asked questions
Can my AI create branded short links with custom aliases?
Yes. Use the create_short_link tool with the URL and an optional alias parameter. For example, ask your agent to shorten 'example.com/campaign' with alias 'summer24'.
How do I view click analytics for a specific link?
Use the get_link_stats tool with the link ID. The agent returns total clicks, referrer sources, device breakdown, and geographic distribution.
Can I manage and delete links through the AI?
Yes. The update_link tool changes the destination URL of an existing link, and delete_link permanently removes it from your account. Both require the link ID.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
