Bitly is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Shorten links, generate QR codes, and track performance across your Bitly account. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Bitly as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/mcp and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.0.0.
On mcp.site, Bitly sits in the Development category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
