auth — Sign in to b59.link

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Open-world

Sign in to b59.link to own what you create (and for 300 requests/minute on the REST API). Pass api_key to get a session key straight away. Or pass email to have a 6-digit code emailed, then call again with email and otp to get a session key (new emails are signed up and also get their api_key). Send the session key as the HTTP header 'Authorization: Bearer <session_key>'.

watch_printed_links — Watch printed links

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Open-world

Watch up to 25 printed links (QR codes on menus, short links on flyers, posters, packaging, cards). Checks each one now and then once a day, and records the whole redirect chain. A link is flagged when it dies (fails twice, 6 hours apart), lands somewhere new, lands on a QR or short-link vendor's 'deactivated' page or a parked domain, changes how it redirects, or its certificate expires within 14 days. Returns the first results, page_url (a result page to hand to the person; shareable) and manage_url (private: edit, re-check, delete). No key needed.

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add b59-link-mcp --url https://b59.link/api/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable b59-link-mcp in your MCP settings.
