Install

How do I install the Flyn MCP server?

Flyn is a hosted endpoint at https://www.flyn.to/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.

MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~2,668 tokens

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_qr_code ~773

Render a QR code for any of seven content types: a link, plain text, WiFi credentials, a v-card contact, a pre-filled email, a phone number, or a pre-filled SMS. The image is returned as a PNG you can look at. Nothing is stored, so this code is STATIC: it encodes the content directly and cannot be changed after it is printed. If the user wants a code they can repoint later, or wants to count scans, create a short link with create_short_link first and then call get_link_qr_code instead. Link, Text and WiFi work on every plan; V-card, E-mail, Call and SMS require Flyn Pro, as do custom colours and SVG output.

NameTypeReqDescription
bgstringBackground colour as 6-digit hex, default #FFFFFF. Requires Flyn Pro.
emailstringFor type 'email': the recipient address.
emailBodystringFor type 'email': pre-filled message body.
emailSubjectstringFor type 'email': pre-filled subject line.
fgstringForeground colour as 6-digit hex, default Flyn green #14532D. Requires Flyn Pro.
formatstringOutput format: 'png' (default) or 'svg'. SVG requires Flyn Pro.
levelstringError correction level: 'L', 'M' (default), 'Q' or 'H'. Higher levels survive more damage but make the symbol denser.
marginintegerQuiet zone in modules. Minimum and default is 4, as required by ISO/IEC 18004; smaller values are raised to 4 because a short quiet zone is the most common cause of a printed code failing to scan.
phonestringFor type 'phone': the number to dial. Include the country code, for example +15551234567, or the code only works for people dialling from the same country.
sizeintegerMaximum width in pixels, 64 to 2048, default 512. The image is the largest whole-module square that fits, so the real width is usually slightly smaller and is reported back.
smsBodystringFor type 'sms': the pre-filled message. The sender still has to press send.
smsPhonestringFor type 'sms': the number to text. Include the country code.
textstringFor type 'text': the plain text to show when scanned.
typestringyesWhat to encode. 'url', 'text' and 'wifi' work on any plan. 'vcard', 'email', 'phone' and 'sms' require Flyn Pro.
urlstringFor type 'url': the URL to encode.
vcEmailstringFor type 'vcard': email address.
vcNamestringFor type 'vcard': the person's full name. Required for a v-card.
vcOrgstringFor type 'vcard': organisation or company.
vcPhonestringFor type 'vcard': phone number. Include the country code, for example +15551234567.
vcUrlstringFor type 'vcard': website URL.
wifiEncstringFor type 'wifi': security type. Defaults to WPA.
wifiHiddenbooleanFor type 'wifi': true if the network does not broadcast its SSID.
wifiPassstringFor type 'wifi': the password. Omit for an open network.
wifiSsidstringFor type 'wifi': the network name.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

create_short_link ~647

Create a new Flyn short link that redirects to a destination URL. Returns the link id, slug, and full short URL. The destination is scanned with Google Safe Browsing before creation. Free accounts can create 25 links per calendar month; password protection, click limits, fallback URLs, weighted rotation, and conversion tracking require Flyn Pro.

NameTypeReqDescription
clickLimitintegerOptional maximum number of human clicks before the link stops redirecting (Pro plan only).
conversionTrackingbooleanEnable per-link conversion tracking (Pro plan only). The redirect then appends an unguessable click id to the destination URL, and the link reports conversions and total conversion value next to its…
domainstringOptional custom domain to mint the link on (must be a verified domain you own; Pro plan only). Omit to use your account default domain.
expiresAtstringOptional ISO 8601 datetime after which the link stops redirecting.
fallbackUrlstringOptional URL visitors are sent to after the click limit is reached (Pro plan only).
forwardParamsbooleanWhether query parameters appended to the short link are forwarded to the destination. Defaults to true.
passwordstringOptional password required to open the link (Pro plan only).
rotationarrayOptional weighted rotation of destinations, one short link splitting traffic between several URLs (Pro plan only). Up to 12 destinations; sending more is rejected rather than truncated, so nothing is…
slugstringOptional custom slug (letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores; max 100 chars). A random slug is generated when omitted.
tagsarrayOptional tags for organizing links (Pro plan only).
titlestringOptional human-readable title for the link.
urlstringyesThe destination URL to shorten (https:// is assumed if no protocol is given).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

delete_link ~40

Permanently delete a short link. The short URL immediately stops redirecting and this cannot be undone.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesThe link id to delete.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_link ~58

Fetch one short link by its id, including destination, settings, total click count, and its conversion counters (conversionTracking, conversions, conversionValueCents).

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesThe link id (from create_short_link or list_links).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_link_analytics ~133

Fetch click events for a short link, newest first. Every plan sees timestamps and total counts; country, city, device, OS, browser, and referrer detail requires Flyn Pro (fields are null on the free plan). Free plans see the last 30 days of history. Click events carry no conversion data: for conversions and total conversion value, read the link itself with get_link or list_links.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesThe link id.
limitintegerClick events per page (max 200 via MCP).
pageintegerPage number, starting at 1.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_link_qr_code ~315

Render a scannable QR code for an existing Flyn short link. Because the code encodes the short link rather than the destination, you can repoint the link later and every printed code follows, and each scan is counted as a click. The image is returned as a PNG you can look at. Custom colours and SVG output require Flyn Pro.

NameTypeReqDescription
bgstringBackground colour as 6-digit hex, default #FFFFFF. Requires Flyn Pro.
fgstringForeground colour as 6-digit hex, default Flyn green #14532D. Requires Flyn Pro.
formatstringOutput format: 'png' (default) or 'svg'. SVG requires Flyn Pro.
idstringyesThe id of the link to render a QR code for.
levelstringError correction level: 'L', 'M' (default), 'Q' or 'H'. Higher levels survive more damage but make the symbol denser.
marginintegerQuiet zone in modules. Minimum and default is 4, as required by ISO/IEC 18004; smaller values are raised to 4 because a short quiet zone is the most common cause of a printed code failing to scan.
sizeintegerMaximum width in pixels, 64 to 2048, default 512. The image is the largest whole-module square that fits, so the real width is usually slightly smaller and is reported back.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_links ~168

List the account's short links with pagination, search, and filtering. Returns each link's id, slug, short URL, destination, click count, and settings, plus its conversion counters: conversionTracking (whether the link carries a click id), conversions, and conversionValueCents (total value reported for those conversions, in cents, not currency converted).

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerResults per page (max 100).
orderstringSort direction.
pageintegerPage number, starting at 1.
searchstringOptional text search across slug, destination URL, and title.
sortstringSort column.
statusstringOptional status filter.
tagstringOptional: only return links carrying this tag.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

update_link ~534

Update an existing short link. Can re-point the destination URL without changing the printed/shared short link, plus edit title, slug, tags, expiration, rotation destinations, and Pro settings. Only the provided fields are changed.

NameTypeReqDescription
clickLimitintegerMaximum human clicks before the link stops (Pro plan only).
conversionTrackingbooleanEnable or disable per-link conversion tracking (Pro plan only). Enabling only makes the redirect append a click id; conversions arrive from the Flyn tag or the server postback on the destination site.
expiresAtstring|nullNew ISO 8601 expiration, or null to remove.
fallbackUrlstringURL served after the click limit is reached (Pro plan only).
forwardParamsbooleanForward appended query params to the destination.
idstringyesThe link id to update.
passwordstringSet a password (Pro plan only).
rotationarrayReplacement list of weighted rotation destinations (Pro plan only). This REPLACES the whole list, so read the link first and send back every destination you are keeping, each with the id it already h…
slugstringNew slug (changes the short URL; the old slug stops working).
statusstringLink status.
tagsarrayReplacement tag list.
titlestringNew title.
urlstringNew destination URL.

No output schema declared.

Common questions

What is the Flyn MCP server?

Flyn is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as to.flyn/mcp. Create, edit and analyse short links and QR codes. OAuth sign-in works on the free plan. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.flyn.to/mcp).

Is the Flyn MCP server safe to use?

Flyn scores 90 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 Flyn MCP server expose?

Flyn exposes 8 tools: create_short_link, list_links, get_link, update_link, delete_link, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,668 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Flyn MCP server require authentication?

Yes. Flyn 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 Flyn MCP server still maintained?

Flyn is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
