Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 1 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port redirected somewhere other than https, so enforcement is unproven. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 453 tokens (~453/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the PicSee Short Link MCP server?
PicSee Short Link is a hosted endpoint at https://api.picsee.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

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 →
create_short_link ~357
Create a new PicSee short link from a destination URL. `url` is required; every other field is optional. Anonymous callers are pinned to the `pse.is` domain — any `domain` value supplied is ignored. The response contains `picseeUrl`, the shortened link ready to share.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | – | Domain to host the short link on (e.g. `pse.is` or one of the BSDs from `get_my_domains`). Falls back to the account default when omitted or invalid. |
| encodeId | string | – | Custom slug (3-90 chars; English letters, digits, `_`, `-`, or Chinese). Must be globally unique on PicSee — conflicts return `PUB00503`. Omit to let PicSee auto-generate. |
| externalId | string | – | Free-form identifier (1-100 chars) for grouping / attributing links. Surfaces in `list_short_links` filters and `get_api_usage_by_external_id`. When the user has not specified a value, you (the calli… |
| url | string | yes | Destination URL the short link should redirect to. Required. |
| utm | object | – | UTM parameters appended to the destination URL. Pass `null` on edit to clear all previously set UTM values. |
