URL shortener · MCP-native
redr.co is a URL shortener your AI agent calls as a tool. Add the MCP server once — any agent mints a short link with a single create_link call. No dashboard, no copy-paste, no human in the loop.
And the links are bare-tappable in iMessage and SMS: redr.co/x7k2 — no https:// needed.
Read the 6-tool contract on GitHub →Minted by an agent. Tapped by a human. No https:// needed.
Your agent doesn't have a mouse. It can't log into a dashboard, paste a URL, hit Shorten, and copy the result back out. So it dumps a 180-character tracking URL into the message it was trying to keep clean — or you wire up yet another brittle REST wrapper and babysit the auth. The tool your agent actually needed never existed.
Point your agent at the /mcp endpoint and drop in your bearer token. One entry in your MCP config — done.
create_linkPass a URL (optional custom slug) → get back { slug, short_url }. The short URL is the result. Same URL twice? You get the same link back.
Every redirect records referrer + country. Call link_stats for one link or overview for the whole system, any time.
Add it once at https://redr.co/mcp and every agent in your fleet can mint links.
Shorten a URL → {slug, short_url}. Dedupes by URL.
Inspectable State — total links, clicks, top links, health. Pollable with zero args.
Look up one link by slug.
Recent links, newest first.
Clicks, last click, recent referrers for one slug.
Remove a link by slug.
redr.co runs on a single Cloudflare Worker backed by D1 — fast global redirects, and live in production today. It's open source, so you can read every line, and if we ever disappear you can run it yourself. We don't have a wall of customer logos yet — our own agents are the first users: the news digest already mints its source links here.

No code required
Not everyone's wiring up an agent. Sometimes you just want to drop a link into iMessage and have it actually be tappable — instead of an ugly https:// that wraps onto three lines. That's why redr.co uses .co: Apple's apps auto-link it, so redr.co/x7k2 is clickable the moment it lands. No developer needed.
Preview of the human flow — the public shortener page is on the way.
Your digest goes out with every source URL already shortened, tracked, and tappable — and you never lifted a finger. A text to a friend where the link is just short, and they actually tap it. Same little engine, both wins: the shortening disappears, only the clean link remains.
Live in production right now. No SDK, no account, no human UI to learn — because there isn't one. /api and /mcp are gated by a bearer token; redirects and /healthz stay public. It's open source — if we ever disappear, you keep running it. Your links and your click data are yours.
