Connect Claude Code to Shorty

Anthropic's CLI coding agent — connects over MCP with one command.

Fastest: Add to Claude. Using the Claude app (claude.ai, Desktop or mobile) instead of the CLI? One click opens Shorty in Claude's connector directory — click Connect, no command to run.

Add to Claude

Manual: add as a custom connector (Claude's “Add custom connector” dialog with Shorty's MCP URL pre-filled).

1. Add the Shorty MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http shorty https://aishorty.com/api/mcp

2. Then, on first tool use, approve the browser OAuth consent screen

# Claude Code opens your browser automatically — sign in to Shorty and
# approve the scopes the assistant is requesting.

Verify it worked

Call the MCP tool `get_usage_quota` (or `curl -s https://aishorty.com/v1/usage -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHORTY_API_KEY"` for the REST API)

Success: A JSON body naming a plan (Free, Premium, or Pro) and usage limits — not a 401 or a tool-not-found error.
