PicSee Short Link — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Connect an agent to PicSee to create short links, manage them, and inspect click data. Anonymous access only creates links on the shared pse.is domain.
claude mcp add --transport http short-link https://api.picsee.io/mcpWhat PicSee Short Link does
PicSee Short Link connects an AI agent to PicSee through a remote MCP server. It can create short links; after OAuth sign-in, it can also list, delete, or recover links and report clicks by day, device, referrer, or country.
Available tools depend on the account plan. Editing links and audience labels, for instance, require the Advanced plan. The server exposes only tools the signed-in account can use. Anonymous access is limited to creating links on the shared pse.is domain, so link management and analytics require PicSee sign-in.
In Claude Code, add the server with claude mcp add --transport http short-link https://api.picsee.io/mcp. It connects over HTTP. The MCP client stores OAuth tokens, so there’s no need to paste them into prompts or configuration. Check a destination URL before creating or changing a short link.
