Connect Claude & ChatGPT to SimpleURL

Ask your AI to shorten a link for a campaign, add a QR code, or point an old short link to a new page. It creates and updates short links in SimpleURL, turns on QR codes, and looks up your branded domains and their verification status.

Try asking

  • “Shorten https://example.com/spring-sale-2026 with the keyword spring-sale.”

    The AI creates the short link with your custom keyword and gives you the link.

  • “Make a short link and a QR code for our event signup page.”

    It creates the short link together with a QR code for the long URL.

  • “Point the spring-sale link to the new landing page.”

    It finds the link and changes its target URL, so everyone who uses it lands on the new page.

What your AI can do

Short links

Create short links with a custom keyword, branded domain and description, and change a link's target or description later.

QR codes

Create a short link with a QR code in one step, turn on a QR code for an existing link and list your QR codes.

Branded domains

List the branded domains on your account and check the details and verification status of each one.

  • “Which short links do we have for the webinar?”

    It searches your short links by text and lists the matches with their keywords.

  • “Turn on a QR code for the menu link.”

    It enables a QR code for the existing short link.

  • “Is our branded domain verified?”

    It reads the branded domain and shows its details and verification status.

Questions

What can the AI do in SimpleURL?

The AI can create short links, with or without a QR code, search and read your short links, change a link's target URL or description, turn on a QR code for a link, list your QR codes and branded domains, and delete a short link if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my SimpleURL API key?

No. Your SimpleURL 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. Deleting a short link is permanent and the link stops working for everyone who has it, so that action can require your approval before it runs. 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 SimpleURL account.

What happens if the AI changes a link's target?

Everyone who opens the short link from then on is sent to the new URL, including people who already have the link or a printed QR code. That is useful for moving a campaign to a new page, and it is also why you may want to require approval for updates.
