Return detailed clicks, unique clicks, time series, and geography, referrer, browser, device, language, and city breakdowns for one link. Free accounts retain only 14 days of analytics.
- List Collections

Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Open your Switchy workspace and navigate to Settings > Integrations > Browse MCP Servers. 2. Search for LinkTwin and click Connect. 3. You'll be prompted to paste your LinkTwin API key — find it by logging into LinkTwin's dashboard, clicking your profile, then API Keys, and copying the key. 4. Paste the key into Switchy and click Authorize. 5. Switchy confirms the connection and shows which tools are available. 6. Open any Project, type '@LinkTwin create a short link for example.com' and send — if the MCP returns a shortened URL, your setup is complete. 7.

What teammates see: by default, memories from LinkTwin are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

How Switchy teams use it
Starter prompts
Campaign Link Builder
@LinkTwin create a short link for our spring sale landing page at example.com/spring-sale, add UTM source 'email' and campaign 'spring2024', and assign it to the Q2 Campaigns collection.

Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@LinkTwin list all links created in the last 7 days with more than 100 clicks, sorted by total clicks descending.
Found 4 shortened links matching your criteria. Top performer: lnk.tw/promo-q1 → example.com/spring-sale (847 clicks, created Jan 15). Second: lnk.tw/webinar-reg → zoom.us/j/12345 (312 clicks, created Jan 12). Third: lnk.tw/docs-v2 → docs.example.com/v2 (189 clicks, created Jan 14). Fourth: lnk.tw/survey-jan → forms.example.com/survey (104 clicks, created Jan 16). All links remain active with no access limits.
This example demonstrates filtered list retrieval combining date range and click threshold. LinkTwin's API returns paginated results; the MCP fetches the first page by default. Free accounts see 14 days of analytics; older click data may be unavailable. Requires read scope on the API key.
@LinkTwin create a short link for https://example.com/product-launch targeting only mobile users in the US, expiring in 30 days.
Created shortened link: lnk.tw/launch-mobile → https://example.com/product-launch. Targeting rules applied: device type = mobile, country = United States. Access expires February 18, 2025 at 11:59 PM UTC; after expiration the link will return a 410 Gone response. Link ID 98765 assigned to your default collection. Note: Free accounts cannot shorten arbitrary destination domains—example.com must be on LinkTwin's approved list or you need a paid plan.
This example shows link creation with targeting and expiration, a write action that modifies account state. Free accounts face destination domain restrictions; the MCP will return an error if the domain isn't approved. Targeting rules reduce click counts but improve conversion. Requires write scope on the API key.
@LinkTwin pull analytics for link ID 98765 and summarize which traffic sources drove the most mobile clicks in the last 48 hours.
Link lnk.tw/launch-mobile received 423 total clicks in the last 48 hours. Mobile traffic breakdown: 187 clicks from Twitter (44%), 112 from direct/unknown referrer (26%), 89 from Instagram (21%), 35 from email campaigns (8%). Geographic concentration: 68% United States, 14% Canada, 9% United Kingdom. Peak traffic occurred January 17 between 2–4 PM UTC. iOS devices accounted for 61% of mobile clicks, Android 39%.
This example pairs the Get Link Analytics tool with AI reasoning to synthesize a traffic-source narrative. Free accounts retain only 14 days of analytics; older links return limited data. The MCP fetches raw breakdowns (referrer, device, geography); the AI interprets patterns. Useful for campaign retrospectives but not real-time monitoring.
Use-case deep-dives
When LinkTwin beats spreadsheet link chaos for 5-person launches
A 5-person product team running a coordinated launch across email, social, and partner channels needs one place to create, organize, and measure every outbound link without switching tools. LinkTwin wins here because the Create Link and List Collections tools let you generate dozens of tracked URLs in minutes, group them by channel or partner, and pull Get Link Analytics to see which placements drove signups. The access-limit feature means you can expire partner links after the launch window closes. The threshold: if you're only sharing 3-4 links total, a free Bitly account is simpler. But once you hit 20+ links across multiple stakeholders who need real-time click breakdowns, LinkTwin's collection model and 10-tool scope justify the API-key setup. Use this MCP when your launch cadence is monthly or faster and you need programmatic link generation inside your Switchy workspace.
Why LinkTwin matters for support teams routing docs and videos
A 3-person support team answering 200 tickets a week sends customers to help articles, onboarding videos, and troubleshooting guides. LinkTwin's Get Link Analytics and targeting rules let you measure which resources actually reduce follow-up volume and route mobile users to app deep links instead of web pages. The List Links tool means your team can search existing short URLs before creating duplicates, and the Delete Link action keeps your library clean when a doc URL changes. The trade-off: free accounts lose analytics after 14 days, so if you need quarter-over-quarter trend data, you'll hit the paywall fast. This MCP is the right call when your team shares 50+ unique resource links per month and you want to know which ones customers actually open. If you're only linking to your homepage, skip it.
When branded domains and access limits justify LinkTwin for partnerships
A 2-person partnerships team onboarding 15 new affiliates per quarter needs to generate unique tracking links for each partner, enforce click limits to prevent abuse, and measure performance without giving partners backend access. LinkTwin's Create Link tool with access-limit and targeting parameters handles the provisioning, and List Domains lets you assign links to branded short domains so partners see your brand, not a generic shortener. The Get Account Info tool tells you upfront whether your plan supports branded domains before you promise them to partners. The boundary: branded domains are paywalled on free accounts, so this scenario only works if you're paying or if generic LinkTwin domains are acceptable. Use this MCP when you're managing 10+ external partners with distinct tracking needs and you want programmatic link creation tied to your CRM or onboarding workflow inside Switchy.
Frequently asked
What does the LinkTwin MCP let me do in Switchy?
It lets AI agents create, manage, and analyze shortened links directly from chat. Agents can generate trackable URLs with targeting rules, check click analytics across geography and device, and organize links into collections—without leaving the conversation. Useful when you're running campaigns or sharing content and want instant link metrics.
Do I need a paid LinkTwin account to use this MCP?
No, but free accounts hit real limits. You can only shorten LinkTwin-approved domains, branded domains are disabled, and analytics expire after 14 days. If you're shortening arbitrary URLs or need historical data beyond two weeks, you'll need a paid plan. The MCP calls Get Account Info to surface these constraints before creating links.
Can the MCP edit an existing shortened link's destination?
The tool list shows Create Link, Get Link, and Delete Link—but no Update Link. That means once a short URL is live, you can't redirect it to a new destination via the MCP. You'd delete the old link and create a fresh one, which changes the short code and breaks existing shares.
Why use this instead of just logging into LinkTwin's dashboard?
Speed and context. When you're drafting a campaign brief in Switchy, the agent can generate five branded short links, assign them to a collection, and pull last week's click data—all inline. No tab-switching, no copy-paste. The trade-off is you lose the dashboard's visual charts and bulk-edit UI.
Who on my team should connect the LinkTwin account?
Whoever owns your link-shortening workflow—usually marketing ops or a campaign manager. The API key grants full read-write access to all links and analytics, so don't share it with people who shouldn't delete links. In Switchy, any teammate can invoke the MCP once it's connected, so set workspace permissions accordingly.
