Read https://lots.link/skill.md and help me connect LotsLink for you.What DeepSeek can do with LotsLink
Once connected, DeepSeek 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.
- 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
- DeepSeek Harness with the dsh-mcp-client package in your profile
- A LotsLink API key supplied through the LOTSLINK_API_KEY environment variable
- A LotsLink account. You can create one during sign-in.

DeepSeek and LotsLink: questions
How do I connect DeepSeek to LotsLink?
Follow the DeepSeek setup above to add https://api.lots.link/mcp. Configure your LotsLink API key using the credential settings shown. Then ask “List my LotsLink workspaces”.
Does the DeepSeek chat app connect to LotsLink?
This guide covers DeepSeek Harness and its Streamable HTTP MCP client, not the DeepSeek consumer chat. Follow the steps above with a LotsLink API key.
Do I need an API key to use LotsLink with DeepSeek?
Yes. Create one at https://www.lotstech.com/api and keep it out of chats, logs and committed files. Where DeepSeek offers sign-in, use that instead.
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
