A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for URL shortening using [Short URL API](https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/a2303356-6672-4eb8-9778-75f55c998fe9) through the [AceDataCloud API](https://platform.acedata.cloud).

Create short, shareable URLs directly from Claude, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

## Features

- **URL Shortening** - Convert long URLs into short, shareable links
- **Batch Shortening** - Shorten multiple URLs at once (up to 10 per batch)
- **Free Service** - Zero credit consumption per request
- **Permanent Links** - Short URLs never expire
- **surl.id Domain** - Short URLs use the clean `surl.id` domain
- **Bearer Auth** - Secure API access with token authentication

## Quick Start

### 1. Get Your API Token

1. Sign up at [AceDataCloud Platform](https://platform.acedata.cloud)
2. Go to the [API documentation page](https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/a2303356-6672-4eb8-9778-75f55c998fe9)
3. Click **"Acquire"** to get your API token
4. Copy the token for use below

### 2. Use the Hosted Server (Recommended)

AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server — **no local installation required**.

**Endpoint:** `https://shorturl.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`

All requests require a Bearer token. Use the API token from Step 1.

#### Claude.ai

Connect directly on [Claude.ai](https://claude.ai) with OAuth — **no API token needed**:

1. Go to Claude.ai **Settings → Integrations → Add More**
2. Enter the server URL: `https://shorturl.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`
3. Complete the OAuth login flow
4. Start using the tools in your conversation
