Short Io

@short.io show me the top 5 most clicked paths in our marketing domain over the last 30 days

Here are the top 5 paths by clicks in your marketing domain (last 30 days): 1) /spring-sale (2,847 clicks), 2) /webinar-signup (1,923 clicks), 3) /case-study-acme (1,401 clicks), 4) /pricing-2024 (987 clicks), 5) /demo-request (764 clicks). The spring sale campaign clearly drove the most traffic. This data comes from the domain's aggregated click statistics for the specified interval.

This example shows the MCP's analytics strength—surfacing which short links perform best. Requires a valid domain ID in your Short.io account and read access via API key. The MCP retrieves time-series data; you can adjust the interval to match campaign windows.

@short.io create short links for these 15 blog post URLs and return the shortened versions with their QR codes

Created 15 short links under your domain. Sample outputs: https://yourdomain.link/blog-post-1 (QR: [base64 image data]), https://yourdomain.link/blog-post-2 (QR: [base64 image data]), and 13 more. Each link is active and trackable. QR codes are generated at 300x300px by default. You can now embed these in print materials or social posts. Full link metadata (creation time, original URL, click count) is stored in your Short.io dashboard.

Demonstrates bulk creation and QR generation in one workflow—useful for content teams distributing links across channels. The MCP can handle up to 1,000 links per call. Be aware: each link consumes one slot in your Short.io plan, and QR image data can be large if you're processing hundreds at once.

@short.io archive all links tagged 'expired-promo' so they stop redirecting and summarize what was archived

Archived 23 links tagged 'expired-promo'. These links no longer redirect; visitors will see a 404 or your custom expiration page. Archived paths include /black-friday-2023, /early-bird-discount, /flash-sale-oct, and 20 others. Total clicks before archival: 18,492. Archiving is reversible—you can unarchive links later if needed. This action helps keep your link inventory clean and prevents outdated promotions from confusing users.

Shows the MCP's lifecycle management capability—deactivating links in bulk by tag or criteria. Archiving is a write operation; confirm you have the correct tag filter before running. Links remain in your account (and count toward your plan) but stop serving traffic. Useful for seasonal campaigns or time-limited offers.

When Short.io wins for conference or pop-up campaigns

A 6-person marketing team running a three-day trade show needs 200 unique QR codes printed on booth handouts, each tracking a different product demo or partner offer. Short.io's bulk QR generation tool creates all codes in one call, and the domain statistics tools let the team pull hourly click counts during the event to see which demos are landing. The API key auth means the marketing coordinator can wire this into their event CRM without waiting on IT. This MCP is the right call if your campaign window is under two weeks and you need real-time click breakdowns by path or referrer. If you're running year-round link shortening across dozens of campaigns, you'll outgrow the 18-tool scope and want a dedicated analytics stack. For short-burst event work, Short.io keeps setup under an hour and gives you the click data that matters while attendees are still on-site.

When this MCP handles post-campaign link hygiene

A 3-person customer success team inherited 800 short links from a previous onboarding campaign, half of which point to deprecated help docs or outdated webinar recordings. The archive-in-bulk tool lets them deactivate dead links in batches of 50, and the get-link-info tool confirms each URL's current destination before archiving. The domain top-values tool surfaces which paths still get clicks, so the team knows what to redirect versus what to kill outright. This scenario works if your link volume is under 2,000 and you're doing quarterly cleanups, not daily link management. If you're a high-velocity content team creating hundreds of links per week, the 18-tool ceiling means you'll miss advanced workflows like A/B path testing or Slack-triggered link creation. For periodic audits where you need to see what's live, what's clicked, and what's cruft, Short.io gives you the three tools that matter without forcing you into a full marketing-ops platform.

When Short.io fits multi-client link performance pulls

A 5-person social agency manages Instagram and LinkedIn campaigns for eight B2B clients, each with a branded short domain. At month-end, the account manager needs click counts, top referrers, and geographic breakdowns for every client's links posted that month. The domain statistics and top-values tools pull this data per domain in under a minute, and the bulk link-creation tool lets the team pre-generate next month's campaign URLs with UTM parameters baked in. The API key auth means each client's domain can have its own key, so the agency doesn't leak cross-client data. This MCP is the right fit if your client count is under 15 and each client posts 20-50 links per month. Beyond that scale, you'll want webhook triggers and custom dashboards that Short.io's tool set doesn't expose. For small agencies where monthly reporting is manual and clients want branded domains without enterprise SaaS contracts, this MCP turns a two-hour spreadsheet task into a ten-minute API call.
