Domain knowledge for zip1.io — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

zip1.io is a URL shortening service that creates compact links with optional customization and tracking. It provides a simple API for creating, managing, and analyzing shortened URLs.

Core Capabilities

URL Shortening: Create shortened URLs from long URLs with optional features — custom aliases (alphanumeric and hyphens), password protection for restricted access, maximum click limits for link expiration, and descriptions for organization.

Link Analytics: Retrieve detailed statistics for any shortened URL including total click counts, geographic data (countries), and recent activity history.

URL Validation: Test whether a URL is valid and can be shortened before creating a link.

Short Code Generation: Generate random 6-character alphanumeric code suggestions for use as custom aliases.

Usage Notes

Input URLs must include the protocol (http:// or https://). Custom aliases are optional — if omitted, a random short code is assigned. Password-protected links require the password to access the destination. Links with max click limits automatically expire after reaching the threshold.

Tools in this Server

This server uses the MCP protocol with a live tool list. Tools are discovered when your MCP client connects (often after authentication), so they are not enumerated on this public page. Open Studio or connect from your client to see the tools available to your workspace.
