Server tool list (23)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| create_guest_token | Create a short-lived MiniURL guest bearer token. Legacy MCP sessions retain it; stateless clients must pass the returned gt_ token explicitly on later requests. shorten_url can provision one automatically. |
| clear_authentication | Clear authentication retained by a legacy MCP session. Stateless clients clear authentication by omitting the Authorization header on later requests. |
| shorten_url | Create a MiniURL short link for a supplied HTTP or HTTPS destination. Use when the user asks to shorten a URL or generate a MiniURL link. This is an additive external write; do not fetch or open the destination. If no authentication is supplied, MiniURL automatically starts a guest flow. Reuse idempotency_key when retrying the same logical request. |
| send_registration_code | Send a 6-digit registration code to the user email, using the current guest session. |
| verify_registration_code | Verify the emailed code, create the account, claim guest links, and continue with OAuth 2.1 + PKCE. Long-lived API keys are never returned over MCP. |
| get_account_status | Inspect the current guest/free/pro account status, remaining quota, and feature availability. |
| start_pro_upgrade | Create a shortened checkout link for upgrading the current registered account to Pro. |
| list_domains | List domains available to the current registered account, including miniurl.com and active custom domains. |
| add_domain | Request a custom domain to be connected to MiniURL. Agent domain changes require human approval by default. |
| delete_domain | Delete a custom domain and its linked URLs after a dry-run confirmation. Agent domain changes require human approval by default. |
| verify_domain | Refresh custom-domain DNS and SSL verification status. Agent domain changes require human approval by default. |
| list_links | List short links for the current registered account. |
