Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a credit card or paid subscription to use this MCP server?
No. Meshalive MCP is 100% free to use. You can run it anonymously without an account for public URL shortening and permanent QR code generation, or create a free account to unlock custom slugs and analytics.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is an open standard developed by Anthropic that allows AI applications (such as Claude Desktop and Cursor) to securely connect to external tools, APIs, and data sources via stdio or SSE.
Will my short links expire after 14 or 30 days like Bitly?
Never. Unlike Bitly or QR code trial traps that stop working or hostage your links behind $35/month fees, Meshalive short links and QR codes are permanently active on our edge network.
Can I run this in private corporate networks or air-gapped CI/CD?
Yes. The MCP server is completely open-source under the MIT license and communicates directly with our public HTTPS API endpoints without tracking internal queries.
