Hovercode

Create and manage QR codes, short links, landing pages, and forms in your Hovercode workspace.

OtherJavaScriptv1.0.1

Hovercode MCP server

Manage your Hovercode QR codes, short links, landing pages, and forms from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client — by chatting.

  • Endpoint: https://hovercode.com/mcp/ (Streamable HTTP, hosted — nothing to run)
  • Auth: OAuth 2.1 (dynamic client registration + PKCE), or a Hovercode API token as a bearer token
  • Docs: https://hovercode.com/integrations/mcp/ · https://hovercode.com/api/#mcp-server
  • This package: a tiny stdio bridge (npx hovercode-mcp) for clients that can't connect to remote servers directly. It wraps mcp-remote and points it at the hosted endpoint, so tools and behaviour are identical.

Anything the assistant creates lands in your Hovercode dashboard like any other code, and every create tool returns both a shareable link and the rendered QR image.

Connect

Claude, ChatGPT, and other connector clients (recommended)

Add a custom connector with the URL https://hovercode.com/mcp/ and approve access. You log in to Hovercode as normal; there is no token to copy.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http hovercode https://hovercode.com/mcp/ \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Your API token is on https://hovercode.com/api/.

Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other config-file clients

Remote (preferred):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hovercode": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://hovercode.com/mcp/",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Via this package (for clients that only support stdio servers):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hovercode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "hovercode-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

With no token set, the bridge opens a browser for the Hovercode OAuth login the first time. To skip the browser, set HOVERCODE_API_TOKEN:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hovercode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "hovercode-mcp"],
      "env": { "HOVERCODE_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

  • "Summarize this week's responses to my feedback form."
  • "How did my QR codes do this month, and where were people scanning them?"

Plans and limits

The server is available on every Hovercode plan and respects the same limits as the dashboard and REST API. Static codes are unlimited; the free plan includes a small number of active dynamic (editable, tracked) codes and paid plans raise that limit.
