Security Report

7.5

Moderate7.5Low Risk

This is a URL shortener MCP server that sends submitted URLs to the Linkonda API, which matches its stated purpose. Authentication is handled sensibly: an optional bearer key is read from an environment variable, sent only to the API, and required only for account-level operations, and there is no shell execution, eval, or hardcoded credentials. The main concern is that LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL can redirect the bearer key to an arbitrary host, which is low severity since the user controls that environment variable. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Permissions Required

This plugin requests these system permissions. Most are normal for its category.

HTTP Network Access

Connects to external APIs or services over the internet.

env_vars

Check that this permission is expected for this type of plugin.

File System Read

Reads files on your machine. Normal for tools that analyze or process local data.

What You'll Need

Set these up before or after installing:

Linkonda API key (paid plans). Optional — without it the server still shortens URLs anonymously, but links expire and account tools are unavailable.Required

Environment variable: LINKONDA_API_KEY

Override the API host. Defaults to https://api.linkonda.com.Optional

Environment variable: LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL

How to Install

Add this to your MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-linkonda-mcp": {
      "env": {
        "LINKONDA_API_KEY": "your-linkonda-api-key-here",
        "LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL": "your-linkonda-api-base-url-here"

Linkonda MCP server

Create and manage Linkonda short links from Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or any other MCP client.

Linkonda records a total redirect count per link and nothing else — no IP addresses, geolocation, device data, or referrers. That matters more than usual for an agent, which can generate links in bulk without building a visitor dataset you then have to secure, retain, and answer requests about.

Works without an API key

Most shortener MCP servers refuse to start without credentials. This one shortens URLs immediately on install: anonymous links are capped per network and expire after 30 days. Add a key when you want links that persist and can be managed.

	No key	With `LINKONDA_API_KEY`
`shorten_link`	✅ 10 links, expire after 30 days	✅ permanent, saved to your account
`get_link_stats`	✅	✅
`check_quota`	✅ anonymous allowance	✅ your plan
`shorten_links_bulk`, `list_links`, `update_link`, `delete_link`	✗	✅

Bearer authentication requires a paid plan — see pricing. Create a key in the dashboard under API keys; it is shown once.

Install

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Claude Code: .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkonda": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@veranoapp/linkonda-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

To use an API key, add it to the same entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkonda": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@veranoapp/linkonda-mcp"],
      "env": { "LINKONDA_API_KEY": "lk_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Variable	Default	Purpose
`LINKONDA_API_KEY`	(unset)	Bearer key. Omit to run anonymously.
`LINKONDA_API_BASE_URL`	`https://api.linkonda.com`	Point at another instance.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Key required
`shorten_link`	Shorten one URL	No
`shorten_links_bulk`	Shorten up to 100 URLs in one request	Yes
`list_links`	List your links with destinations and click counts	Yes
`update_link`	Change a destination, or pause/resume a link	Yes
`delete_link`	Permanently delete a link	Yes
`get_link_stats`	Total redirect count for a link	No
`check_quota`	Links live vs. plan allowance	No

shorten_links_bulk is partial-success: some entries can fail (quota, invalid URL) while others are created, and the tool reports both lists rather than only the successes.

What you cannot get

There is no per-visitor data to return, so there are no tools for geographic, device, or referrer breakdowns — that data is never collected. If your workflow needs click attribution, a tracking shortener is the right tool; see the comparisons.
