Once connected, Cursor can:
- 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.

Cursor and LotsLink: questions
How do I connect Cursor to LotsLink?
Follow the Cursor setup above to add https://api.lots.link/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my LotsLink workspaces”.
Where do I put the LotsLink server in Cursor?
In ~/.cursor/mcp.json under mcpServers, or from the Customize page. Use the URL https://api.lots.link/mcp; Cursor opens the sign-in in your browser on first use.
Do I need an API key to use LotsLink with Cursor?
No. Cursor 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.
The server shows an error
Check the URL ends in /mcp, then reload the server from the Customize page to restart the sign-in.
