What problem does it solve?
Handing long-lived API keys to agents in MCP configs or chat creates leak paths that are painful to audit and revoke.
Who is it for?
Builders shipping agent automations who need delegated, revocable links instead of permanent credentials in the agent loop.
Skip if: Projects with no third-party agent access needs or teams unwilling to use LayerV's qURL API and API key.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You issue expiring scoped qURLs through the agent, with MCP tools to resolve, audit, and rotate access without redeploying full secrets.
- Minted expiring qURLs with explicit scopes for agent tasks
- Audit and rotation workflows callable via MCP
- Reduced long-lived secret exposure in agent configurations

Common Questions / FAQ
Who is qurl-mcp for?
Solo builders and agent authors who want LayerV QURLs—short-lived, scope-limited links—for safer third-party access from MCP clients.
When should I use qurl-mcp?
Use it before production agent integrations when you need to grant temporary access, audit usage, or rotate links without sharing raw API keys.
How do I add qurl-mcp to my agent?
Install @layervai/qurl-mcp, set QURL_API_KEY (required) and optional QURL_API_URL, add the stdio MCP server in Claude Code or Cursor, and enable the qurl scopes you need on the key.
