Claude and Other AI Assistants (MCP)

Connect Claude or another MCP-capable AI assistant with a sign-in, choose what it can do, and disconnect it.

Connect Claude, or another AI assistant that supports MCP, to SCT Pro. Then you can ask in plain language to make short links, find links, check click counts, and tidy up old links.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way for AI assistants to use other software. Claude connects with a sign-in, so you never copy or paste a key. Setup takes about two minutes.

Before you start

A plan that includes integrations. Open Integrations. If the page says Your plan doesn't include integrations, choose See plans to upgrade first.
Owner or admin access. Only the account owner and team admins can connect apps. If you belong to more than one account, switch to the one you want to connect before you start. See Team collaboration.
At least one domain for new links. See Domains.

Connect Claude (claude.ai, Desktop and mobile)

In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
Find Simple Click Tracker in the directory and click Connect. If it isn't listed for you, choose Add custom connector instead, name it Simple Click Tracker, and paste this address:
```
https://app.simpleclicktracker.com/api/v1/mcp
```
A Simple Click Tracker window opens. Sign in if you're asked to.
Choose what Claude may do. Seeing links and domains is always on. Create, Change and Delete are ticked to start with; untick any you don't want.
Click Allow. You're sent back to Claude, and the connector shows as connected.

On a Team or Enterprise plan in Claude, an owner may need to add the connector for your organization first. Each person still signs in to their own SCT Pro account.

Connect Claude Code

Run this in a terminal, then type /mcp in Claude Code and choose Authenticate:

claude mcp add --transport http simple-click-tracker https://app.simpleclicktracker.com/api/v1/mcp

Your browser opens the same sign-in and permission page described above.

Other AI tools

Most tools that support remote MCP servers with sign-in (sometimes called OAuth) connect the same way: add the address above and follow the sign-in. For a tool with no sign-in button, click Create MCP key on the MCP: Claude & AI assistants tile on Integrations, and send the key in a header named X-API-Key. For example:

claude mcp add --transport http simple-click-tracker https://app.simpleclicktracker.com/api/v1/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

Things to ask

"Make a short link called Spring sale email that goes to https://example.com/spring, with the path spring-sale."
"Which of my links got the most unique clicks? Show the top five."
"Find every link that still points to the old webinar page and archive them."
"Change the destination of my spring-sale link to https://example.com/spring-2."
"Which domains can I use for new links?"

Deleting a link always needs your confirmation in Claude. In the connector's tool permissions in Claude, you can choose whether creating and changing links need your approval too.

What the assistant can do

Tool	What it does	Needs
List domains	Lists your domains, so the assistant knows where new links can go.	Always on
Find links	Looks up one link, or searches and sorts your links, with total and unique click counts.	Always on
Create link	Makes a standard link with one destination. Rotators, split tests and other multi-destination links are still set up in the app.	Create new links
Update link	Renames, changes the destination or path, moves to a group, archives or restores. Changing a path breaks the old short link.	Change links
Delete link	Deletes a link for good. Archiving is safer and can be undone.	Delete links

The assistant follows the same rules as the app: it can't reuse a path that's taken on a domain, and it can't go past your plan's link limit. Each connection is allowed up to 120 requests and 20 deletions a minute.

Changing access or disconnecting

Each connection appears on the Your keys tab of Integrations as a key named MCP: Claude (or the name of the tool you connected), with the date you connected it.

To change what it can do, edit that key's permissions. The change takes effect on the assistant's next request.
To disconnect, revoke the key. The assistant loses access right away. You can also remove the connector in Claude.
To connect again, click Connect in Claude. That makes a new key; revoke the old one if it's still listed.

Your data

The assistant only sees what its tools return: link names, paths, destinations, groups, click counts, and your domains. It never sees your password, billing details, or individual visitor records such as IP addresses. What the assistant's provider does with the conversation is covered by that provider's own privacy terms. See our privacy policy for how we handle your data.

Troubleshooting

"Only the account owner or an admin can connect apps": Ask the account owner to make you an admin, or to connect it themselves. If you belong to several accounts, switch to the right one in the app first.
"This account's plan doesn't include integrations": Upgrade on the Billing page, then click Connect in Claude again.
"This app is not registered" or the connection window shows an error: Remove the connector in Claude and add it again. That gives Claude a fresh registration.
Claude says the connection stopped working: The key may have been revoked, or the plan may no longer include integrations. Reconnect from Claude's Connectors page.
The assistant says it's been asked to wait: It hit the per-minute limit. Wait a minute and ask again.
