Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Short.io

Ask your AI to shorten a URL on your branded domain, find out where a short link points, or change its destination. It can create, duplicate, archive and delete links, sort them into folders, tag several links at once and make hosted QR codes. Link housekeeping happens in a chat instead of the dashboard.

Connect Short.io free

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Make a short link go.example.com/spring for our spring sale page.”
The AI creates the link on your domain with the custom path spring and gives you the short URL.
“Where does go.example.com/promo point to?”
It looks up the link by domain and path and shows the destination URL, title and tags.
“Do we already have a short link for https://example.com/pricing?”
It searches the domain for a link with that destination URL before anything new is created.

What your AI can do

Short links

Create, update, duplicate, archive, restore and delete short links, and find them by short path or destination URL.

Folders and tags

List and create link folders, list the tags on a domain and add one tag to many links at once.

Domains and QR codes

List your branded domains, create hosted QR codes for links and list the QR codes on a domain.

“Point the webinar link to the recording instead.”
It finds the link and updates its destination URL. Everyone who clicks it from now on lands on the new page.
“Tag all the links from the newsletter with q3-newsletter.”
It adds the tag to the links you pick in one call, using their link IDs.
“Give me a QR code for the event link.”
It creates a hosted QR code for the link, using your domain's QR styling or the color and size you ask for, and returns its URL.

Questions

What can the AI do in Short.io?

The AI can list domains, links, folders, tags and hosted QR codes, and look up a link by its short path or destination URL. It can create, update, duplicate, archive, restore and delete links, create folders, add a tag to several links and create hosted QR codes.

Does the AI see my Short.io credentials?

No. Your Short.io API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with lookups only. Deleting a link is permanent and the short URL stops redirecting, and changing a destination affects everyone who clicks, so both can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Short.io account.

Should I use a public or a secret API key?

Use a secret key. When you create the key in Short.io under Integrations and API, leave Public key switched off. You can also pick which team or domain the key may use, which limits what the AI can reach on top of the tools you switch on in HeyMyApps.
