RESTOpenAPI 3.1MCP

Link Center API & MCP

Create dynamic, editable QR codes and short links, pull scan analytics, and render branded QR images — programmatically. The QR encodes a stable short URL, so you can change the destination anytime without reprinting the code.

Authentication

Create a key in Settings → API keys (Pro plan), then send it as a bearer token on every request.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY

Quick start

Create a link and get back its short URL + QR image URLs.

curl -X POST https://mylink.center/api/v1/links \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"destinationUrl":"https://example.com"}'

MCP server

Add Link Center as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client — so you (or an AI agent) can create links, retarget them, pull stats, and render QR images from chat.
