Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Shorten.REST
Ask your AI to create a short link, change where an existing link points, or show the clicks your links got in Shorten.REST. It can list and read your short links with their destinations, create links with your own alias and domain, and update destinations, metatags and snippets. It can also delete a link if you switch that tool on.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Make a short link to our spring campaign page with the alias spring26.”
The AI creates the short link with that alias and your page as the destination.
“Where does the webinar link point right now?”
It reads the short link and lists its destinations.
“Point the webinar link to the recording page instead.”
It updates the link's destination. Visitors go to the new page right away.
What your AI can do

Questions
What can the AI do in Shorten.REST?
The AI can list your short links, read one link with its destinations and list click records. It can create short links, update their destinations, metatags and snippets, and delete a link.
Does the AI see my Shorten.REST API key?
No. Your Shorten.REST API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.
Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?
Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with lookups only. Changing where a link points and deleting a link can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.
What does it cost?
PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Shorten.REST account.
What happens when the AI changes a link's destination?
Visitors who open the short link are sent to the new destination right away, so links you have already shared keep working but lead somewhere new. Deleting a link is different: the link stops working and it cannot be undone.
