U301 URL Shortener

U301 URL Shortener is an MCP server that integrates the U301 URL shortening service into Model Context Protocol environments. It connects AI assistants directly to the U301 API, allowing developers, content creators, and marketing teams to generate branded, managed short links on the fly. By routing requests through this server, users can configure custom slugs, set link expiration dates, attach password protection, and include dashboard tracking comments without leaving their development environments. Developers using editors like Cursor or Windsurf can instruct AI agents to automatically find and replace long, cumbersome web addresses inside source code comments or documentation files with clean, readable short links. The integration supports both standard U301 domains and custom domains connected through Cloudflare, along with specific workspace routing for team collaboration. This eliminates context switching between code editing and third-party dashboard interfaces when managing web links, redirects, and campaign URLs.
