QRcodly — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
QRcodly lets an agent create QR codes and short links, then track scans. Connect it when you want to handle these tasks through an MCP server.
claude mcp add --transport http qrcodly https://mcp.qrcodly.de/mcpWhat QRcodly does
QRcodly supports QR codes for URLs, contact details, Wi-Fi, email, calendar events, locations, and plain text. You can adjust colors, dimensions, backgrounds, and uploaded icons, then export the result as PNG, JPEG, or SVG. Saved configurations can be reused as templates.
The service also shortens links and tracks scans. Custom domains for short URLs use a Cloudflare integration, so that matters when configuring this feature. Claude Code connects to the MCP server over HTTP with claude mcp add --transport http qrcodly https://mcp.qrcodly.de/mcp.

- generate a QR code for a URL

- shorten a link and track scans
- export a QR code as SVG
Example prompts for the agent
