Tinyurl for AI agents
TinyURL shortens long links into compact, shareable ones, commonly used for social media posts and marketing campaigns that need clean URLs. 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.
What agents do in Tinyurl.
Shorten a long URL
Create a short link for a long URL before sharing it in a post or message.
List existing short links
Pull the account's shortened URLs as a read-only check before creating a new one.
Confirm the destination before sharing
Check a shortened link's target URL before it's posted publicly.
2 Tinyurl actions, graded by risk.
Every Tinyurl action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

1Look things up. Allowed by default.
- tinyurl.list_urlsList TinyURLs
write
1Create and change things. Allow, or ask the user first.
- tinyurl.create_short_urlCreate short url
destructive
0Delete, cancel or archive. Ask first, or deny outright.
- No destructive actions.
Tinyurl in three steps.
- 01Your users connect TinyurlThey add their Tinyurl api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “create short url” can wait for the user to approve.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Tinyurl through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('tinyurl', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_short_url destructive: 'deny', }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Tinyurl connects.
Users add their Tinyurl api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
The same Tinyurl connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- API key
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan
Use Tinyurl from any agent.

Tinyurl and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Tinyurl with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Tinyurl to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Tinyurl actions you allow.
How do users connect Tinyurl?
Users add their Tinyurl api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
Which Tinyurl actions can my agent take?
2 in total: 1 read, 1 write and 0 destructive, such as “create short url”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in Tinyurl?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Tinyurl policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call Tinyurl too?
Yes. The same Tinyurl connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Tinyurl into your agent.
Your users connect Tinyurl once, under your brand. Your agent gets 2 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
