Linkonda
Create and manage Linkonda short links from an AI assistant, with no per-visitor tracking.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
@veranoapp/linkonda-mcpclaude mcp add linkonda -e 'LINKONDA_API_KEY=<your linkonda_api_key>' -e 'LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL=<LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL>' -- npx -y @veranoapp/linkonda-mcp@0.1.5
{
"mcpServers": {
"linkonda": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@veranoapp/linkonda-mcp@0.1.5"
],
"env": {
"LINKONDA_API_KEY": "<your linkonda_api_key>",
"LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL": "<LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL>"
}
}
}
}
Environment variables
LINKONDA_API_KEYsecret Linkonda API key (paid plans). Optional — without it the server still shortens URLs anonymously, but links expire and account tools are unavailable.LINKONDA_API_BASE_URLOverride the API host. Defaults to https://api.linkonda.com.
Documentation
From the project's README on GitHub, refreshed weekly. Links open on GitHub.
Linkonda MCP server
Create and manage Linkonda short links from Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or any other MCP client.
Linkonda records a total redirect count per link and nothing else — no IP addresses, geolocation, device data, or referrers. That matters more than usual for an agent, which can generate links in bulk without building a visitor dataset you then have to secure, retain, and answer requests about.
Works without an API key
Most shortener MCP servers refuse to start without credentials. This one shortens URLs immediately on install: anonymous links are capped per network and expire after 30 days. Add a key when you want links that persist and can be managed.
| No key | With LINKONDA_API_KEY | |
|---|---|---|
shorten_link | ✅ 10 links, expire after 30 days | ✅ permanent, saved to your account |
get_link_stats | ✅ | ✅ |
check_quota | ✅ anonymous allowance | ✅ your plan |
shorten_links_bulk, list_links, update_link, delete_link | ✗ | ✅ |
Bearer authentication requires a paid plan — see pricing. Create a key in the dashboard under API keys; it is shown once.
Install
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Claude Code: .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"linkonda": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@veranoapp/linkonda-mcp"]
}
}
}
To use an API key, add it to the same entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"linkonda": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@veranoapp/linkonda-mcp"],
"env": { "LINKONDA_API_KEY": "lk_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
LINKONDA_API_KEY | (unset) | Bearer key. Omit to run anonymously. |
LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL | https://api.linkonda.com | Point at another instance. |
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Key required |
|---|---|---|
shorten_link | Shorten one URL | No |
shorten_links_bulk | Shorten up to 100 URLs in one request | Yes |
list_links | List your links with destinations and click counts | Yes |
update_link | Change a destination, or pause/resume a link | Yes |
delete_link | Permanently delete a link | Yes |
get_link_stats | Total redirect count for a link | No |
check_quota | Links live vs. plan allowance | No |
shorten_links_bulk is partial-success: some entries can fail (quota, invalid URL) while others are created, and the tool reports both lists rather than only the successes.
What you cannot get
There is no per-visitor data to return, so there are no tools for geographic, device, or referrer breakdowns — that data is never collected. If your workflow needs click attribution, a tracking shortener is the right tool; see the comparisons.
Development
npm install
npm run build
LINKONDA_API_KEY=lk_... npm start # speaks MCP over stdio
npm run typecheck runs the compiler without emitting.
Frequently asked questions
What is Linkonda?
Create and manage Linkonda short links from an AI assistant, with no per-visitor tracking.
How do I install Linkonda?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add linkonda -e 'LINKONDA_API_KEY=<your linkonda_api_key>' -e 'LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL=<LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL>' -- npx -y @veranoapp/linkonda-mcp@0.1.5. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Linkonda need an API key?
Yes. It expects LINKONDA_API_KEY, which you set in its configuration.
Is Linkonda open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains Linkonda?
It is published by Verano-DE. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
