Who it is for
Marketing operations teams managing branded short links and campaign tracking.
Overview
What Bitly does
Bitly publishes this connector for its own product, covering link shortening, QR code generation, and the reporting behind both. The listing describes creating and managing links and codes, pulling analytics on how they perform, and the organisational management that a Bitly account is arranged around. Twenty-seven tools are claimed, a large surface for a product whose core object is a single short link. Partner tier applies and documentation is published. A Bitly account is required to connect, and the endpoint asks for it before responding to anything.
Tool surface
Twenty-seven claimed tools sit behind an authentication gate that answers 401, so the balance between link creation, analytics reads, and account administration is the listing's account of itself.
Availability
Where Bitly is listed
Bitly is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Bitly has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Bitly publishes 27 tools to Claude, deeper than 78.2% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one runs 15 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 31st of 198 by tool count.
It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory.
Bitly publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
