What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and services. It acts as a universal bridge between AI models and APIs — any compatible client can connect.

By connecting absd via MCP, your AI assistant can shorten URLs and access absd services directly within your conversation — no copy-pasting or tab switching required.

Setup

Choose your AI client and follow the instructions below.

To add absd as an integration on Claude Web:

  1. 1
    Go to Settings > Integrations
  2. 2
    Click "Add Integration"
  3. 3
    Enter the URL: https://api.absd.co/mcp
    https://api.absd.co/mcp
  4. 4
    The shorten_url tool will appear in your conversations
You may need a Claude Pro or Team plan to access integrations.
