Use DexURL from your AI assistant
Connect DexURL to Claude, then ask in plain words: make a short link, find one, pause it, save a bookmark, or add a link to your Bio page. You sign in the usual way, and the same plan limits apply as in the app.
What the connector is
The DexURL connector lets an AI assistant work with your DexURL account while you talk to it. It uses the Model Context Protocol, the open standard assistants use to reach other tools. You add the address https://dexurl.com/mcp once, sign in to DexURL, and allow the connection. After that you can ask for things in ordinary sentences and the assistant makes the requests for you.
It works with Claude on the web, in the desktop app and on mobile (add it on the web or desktop app first), and with Claude Code. Other assistants are listed on this page as they are added.

Things you can ask
These are examples, not commands to memorize. Ask in your own words. Requests marked Pro need the Pro plan.
- Make a short link for https://example.com/menu and give me its QR address.
- Which of my links mention "spring"? Pause the ones I no longer need.
- Create a link to my booking page that stops working after 50 clicks.
- Point my summer sale link at the new landing page.
- Save these three articles to my Vault in a folder called Reading.
- Add my new podcast link to my Bio page.
- Pro: How many clicks did each of my campaign links get this week?
- Pro: Make a link to our menu that sends iPhone visitors to the App Store and everyone else to the website.
What it cannot do
- See or change private Vault items. They are never visible to an assistant.
- Publish a Bio page. Links it adds to a published page wait in the page's draft until you publish them in the app.
- Touch billing, account settings, custom domains or anything else not listed above.
- Go past your plan. The same Free and Pro limits apply, and when a request needs Pro the assistant is told so and passes the message on to you.
Before you let it change things
A change to a link can take up to a minute to reach visitors. Pointing a link somewhere else changes where its printed QR codes go, and deleting a link stops its printed QR codes working. The assistant cannot undo a delete, so read what it plans to do before you allow it.
Your data and your control
You sign in to DexURL yourself and see a consent screen before anything is shared. There is no API key and no password to hand over. The assistant receives your email address and basic profile from the sign-in, and after that only what a request needs: for example link addresses and titles, click totals, Vault entries that are not private, Bio page links and your plan.
DexURL sees the requests the assistant makes to your account and nothing else about your conversation. The assistant's provider handles what it receives under its own terms and privacy policy. See what DexURL stores and the Privacy Policy.
Plans
There is no extra charge for the connector, and it works on the Free plan. It does not raise your limits. Free keeps 25 active short links, 25 Vault bookmarks, 1 Bio page and timed links of up to 24 hours. Passwords, one-time links, smart routing, availability windows, multi-destination boards and click stats are Pro, here as in the app. Compare the plans.
How to disconnect
Remove the connector in your assistant's own connector settings. Access does not end the instant you do: a disconnected assistant can keep access for up to 24 hours, until its sign-in token expires. If something looks wrong in the meantime, tell support.
Questions
Does the DexURL connector cost anything?
No. There is no extra charge for the connector on any plan, and it works on the Free plan. It does not raise your limits: the same Free and Pro limits apply as in the app.
Which assistants work with it?
Claude on the web, in the desktop app and on mobile (add the connector on the web or desktop app first), and Claude Code. Other assistants are listed on this page as they are added.
Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in to DexURL the usual way, with Google or an email link, and allow the connection on a consent screen. There is no key to copy and no password to hand over.
Can the assistant see my private Vault items?
No. Private Vault items are never visible to an assistant and it cannot create or change one. Searching the Vault returns only items that are not private.
Will the assistant publish my Bio page?
No. It can add links to a Bio page, but on a published page they wait in the page's draft until you publish them in the app. It cannot publish a page.
Can it delete my links?
Yes, if you ask it to. Deleting a link stops its printed QR codes working, and the assistant cannot undo it, so read what it plans to do before you allow it.
Why did my change not show up straight away?
A change to a link can take up to a minute to reach visitors. After that, the link and its QR codes follow the new settings.
How do I disconnect it?
Remove the connector in your assistant's own connector settings. A disconnected assistant can keep access for up to 24 hours, the lifetime of its sign-in token.
