Today we’re releasing the SnapGlyph MCP Server, which brings QR code and shortlink generation directly into the AI tools that organizations and business operators are already using every day.
The SnapGlyph MCP Server speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting AI clients to external tools. Once you connect it to an MCP-capable client like Claude, you can ask your assistant to create a tracked QR code, generate a branded shortlink, render an existing code, or look up your links — all in plain language, without ever leaving the conversation.
“Until now, the process of adding QR codes or generating a shortlink required people to stop what they were working on and log into a standalone app to create their link or code,” said Garrett Genest, founder of SnapGlyph. “Today, with the introduction of SnapGlyph MCP, we’ve made it easy to generate QR codes and tracked shortlinks all from within the same AI chat.”
Built for the way people actually work
The point of MCP is to meet people inside the tools where the work is already happening:
- A marketer drafting a blog article in an AI tool can have the assistant automatically generate a tracked link for a key call-to-action — no copy-paste, no separate tab.
- A business owner using AI to design a poster can get a real, working QR code generated right in the flow of work, ready to drop into the layout.
Because everything is created in your SnapGlyph account, the QR codes and shortlinks made this way show up in your dashboard exactly like ones you create in the app. You can manage them in either place, interchangeably.
Secure by design
The MCP Server uses OAuth 2.1, so you never paste an API key or password into your AI client. You authorize the connection once by signing in to SnapGlyph in your browser, and the client receives a scoped access token that only allows the actions you approve. Third-party clients connected this way receive only basic profile information — never your subscription or organization details.
Your organization’s tracking parameter governance applies to everything the MCP tools create or update, just as it does in the app and API. There’s no bypass.
Available today, on Pro and Max
The SnapGlyph MCP Server is live now on the Pro and Max plans, including the 14-day free trial. It uses the same programmatic-access gate as the SnapGlyph API.
