URL Shortener API
Let your coding agent create short, trackable links for launch posts, landing pages, and shareable URLs without leaving the chat.
Overview
URL Shortener is a MCP server for the Launch phase that shortens long URLs into hash codes or custom aliases via a remote SSE endpoint with x402 micropayment.
What is this MCP server?
- Remote MCP over SSE at url-shortener.api.klymax402.com/mcp
- Hash-based short codes plus optional custom aliases
- x402 micropayment on the hosted API (klymax402 stack)
- Server schema version 1.1.0 with GitHub source repo
- MCP server version 1.1.0
- Remote transport: SSE
- Hosted endpoint: url-shortener.api.klymax402.com/mcp
What problem does it solve?
You need clean short links for distribution quickly, but standing up redirects and DNS feels like overkill for a one-person launch.
Who is it for?
Indie builders publishing launch content or wiring share links into prototypes who want MCP-native shortening without self-hosting.
Skip if: Teams that need enterprise link analytics, custom domains on their own infra, or zero per-call API cost without x402.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can mint short URLs through MCP tools so launch assets and messages use consistent, shareable links.
- Short URL with hash-based code
- Short URL with a custom alias when supported

Journey fit
Short links are a distribution primitive—solo builders reach for them when shipping campaigns, bios, and one-off promos, which maps to Launch. Distribution is where branded or compact URLs matter for social posts, email, and partner handoffs.
How it compares
MCP-hosted URL API, not a full marketing automation or Bitly-style dashboard skill.
