# Bitly — AI Connector Bitly publishes 27 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/bitly/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Data & Analytics](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/) # Bitly Create Bitly links and QR codes and read their click data Listed in Claude · 27 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://dev.bitly.com/bitly-mcp/) [bitly.com](https://bitly.com) 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. ### Who it is for Marketing operations teams managing branded short links and campaign tracking. ### 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. Publisher Bitly Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Data & Analytics Endpoint `https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://dev.bitly.com/bitly-mcp/) Published tools 27 · 21-50 tools band Depth rank in Data & Analytics 31 of 198 Snapshot August 2026 Bitly carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How Bitly describes it > Create, track, and manage Bitly links and QR Codes directly from Claude without switching contexts. Access 27 comprehensive tools spanning link creation, analytics, organizational management, and more—making this the most complete link management solution available in any AI assistant. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026. Node8 did not write it and does not vouch for it.
