Cutt.ly for AI agents

Cutt.ly shortens URLs and tracks their performance, giving marketers a way to share cleaner links and see how many people click them. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

Which Cutt.ly actions can my agent take?
