Frequently asked questions
Can I check how many people clicked my link today?
Yes! Use the get_link_clicks tool with your Bitlink. Your agent will fetch the total click summary directly from the Bitly engine.
How do I see which countries my clicks are coming from?
Simply ask the agent to get_clicks_by_country for a specific Bitlink. It will return a breakdown of traffic by geographic origin.
Does the integration allow me to delete a Bitlink?
Bitlinks cannot be truly deleted via the standard API; they can only be archived or hidden. Currently, the toolset focuses on creation and monitoring (shortening links, checking metrics).
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" 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.
