Canonical page: https://lots.link/agents/claude-cowork
Steps checked: 2026-10-01

Ask Claude Cowork to create your short links, make QR codes and read click analytics in LotsLink. Add LotsLink to Claude Cowork as a remote MCP server and sign in once.

MCP server URL: https://api.lots.link/mcp
REST API docs: https://api.lots.link/docs
Setup instructions for your agent: https://lots.link/skill.md

## What you can do once connected

- Create and edit short links with custom slugs, UTM parameters and expiry dates, on lots.link or your own verified domain.
- Make a QR code for any link.
- Organize links into projects and switch several links on or off at once.
- Read click analytics by link or workspace, and export CSV or JSON.
- Add custom domains and manage workspaces and teammates, in your role.

The LotsLink dashboard does the whole job too: links, QR codes, projects, domains, analytics and team. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.

## You need

- Claude Desktop with Cowork available
- Permission to add a custom remote connector
- A LotsLink account. You can create one during sign-in.

## Connect Claude Cowork to LotsLink

1. **Add a custom connector.** In Claude, open Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. Name it LotsLink and use this URL.

```
https://api.lots.link/mcp
```

2. **Sign in.** Complete the LotsLink sign-in and enable the connector in your Cowork task.

3. **Check the tools.** Ask your agent “List my LotsLink workspaces” before asking it to change anything.

## What to ask next

- “Shorten https://example.com/spring-sale as spring-sale with utm_source newsletter.”
- “Make a QR code for the spring-sale link so I can print it on the flyer.”
- “Which of my links got the most clicks this week, and from which countries?”

## Questions and troubleshooting

### How do I connect Claude Cowork to LotsLink?

Follow the Claude Cowork setup above to add https://api.lots.link/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my LotsLink workspaces”.

### Does Cowork keep LotsLink connected between tasks?

Once LotsLink is added as a custom connector and signed in, enable it for each Cowork task that needs it. Start a new session if its tools do not appear.

### Do I need an API key to use LotsLink with Claude Cowork?

No. Claude Cowork signs in to LotsLink in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.

### What does LotsLink cost?

Current plans and prices are on https://lots.link/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.

### Can I change where a printed QR code goes?

Yes. Your agent changes the link’s destination and the short URL and QR code stay the same, so printed codes keep working and keep counting scans. The change reaches every visitor at once.

### Can my agent delete my links?

When you ask it to. Switching a link off is the choice you can undo; deleting is permanent and removes the link’s click statistics and QR codes. Your agent works in your role: members change their own links, owners and admins change any link, and viewers read only.

### What do the click analytics include?

Recorded visits by link or workspace, with source, device and approximate location when available. Known bots, previews and prefetches are not counted.

### LotsLink tools are not available

Check that LotsLink is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.
