## What it does

The MCP server lets an agent manage Linkly short links: create, edit, remove, or find them by name, URL, or note. It can also retrieve click statistics, export click records, and manage custom domains and webhooks.

The connection uses the hosted endpoint at `https://mcp.linklyhq.com`. Sign in to Linkly in the browser that opens during setup. This route needs neither a local install nor an API key. The older npm-based, self-hosted option is no longer maintained, so its API-key setup is not the route to use.
