The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
create_app_link ~358

Pro only: create one short link for a mobile app. iPhones and iPads that open it go to the app's App Store page, Android devices to its Google Play page, and any other device (such as a desktop) sees a Gajo page with a QR code to scan with a phone. Use it for a link that should send people to the right app store; for an ordinary link use shorten_url.

appNamestring–The app's name for the page. Optional: looked up from the App Store when omitted.
customCodestring–Optional custom code (3-50 letters, digits, or hyphens) for a gajo.io/c/{code} link.

deactivate_url ~90

Turn off one of your short links so it stops redirecting, keeping its destination and clicks. Generated codes are never reassigned; use reactivate_url to turn the link back on, or delete_url to erase it for good.

NameTypeReqDescription

delete_url ~114

Permanently delete one of your short links: its destination and click history are erased and it stops redirecting. It can't be undone or reactivated, and the code is never given to anyone else. Use it when a destination shouldn't be kept, e.g. a URL with a private token; to just switch a link off, use deactivate_url.

shorten_url ~180

Create a gajo.io short link for a URL and return it as shortUrl. Links follow your plan's code length and lifetime and count against its monthly quota. Pro plans can pass customCode for a branded gajo.io/c/{code} link, or shorten app deep links (myapp://...) with a web fallbackUrl.

Common questions

What is the Gajo URL Shortener MCP server?

Gajo URL Shortener is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.gajo/url-shortener. Shorten URLs, manage gajo.io short links, and read click analytics. Free account, no credit card. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://gajo.io/mcp).

Is the Gajo URL Shortener MCP server safe to use?

Gajo URL Shortener scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Gajo URL Shortener MCP server expose?

Gajo URL Shortener exposes 11 tools: shorten_url, create_app_link, list_urls, get_url, get_url_stats, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,540 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Gajo URL Shortener MCP server require authentication?

Yes. Gajo URL Shortener asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the Gajo URL Shortener MCP server still maintained?

Gajo URL Shortener is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
