Operate strms.link from code or from an AI agent

Available now

MCP server

A remote Model Context Protocol server, so an artist or manager can ask their assistant: “Make a smartlink for my new single, put Spotify first, add a merch button, attach my Meta pixel and publish it.” The tools are task-level wrappers around the same service layer as the REST API, with the same permissions and validation.

Connect in a minute

1. In the dashboard, open Developers → API keys and create a key (owners and admins). Choose Read only or Read and write and an expiry. The key is shown once.
2. Add the server to your client. Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http strms https://app.strms.link/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer strms_sk_…"

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) and other clients that support remote servers with headers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strms": {
      "url": "https://app.strms.link/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer strms_sk_…" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses the same URL and header in .vscode/mcp.json. Claude Desktop connects through the mcp-remote bridge until OAuth connectors arrive. Clients that only accept OAuth connectors (claude.ai and ChatGPT custom connectors) cannot connect yet.

Tools

• get_workspace — the workspace, what this key may do, link and pixel counts.
• search_release — resolve a Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer link, an ISRC or a UPC to the release and its matches on each platform (exact, fuzzy or a search link).
• create_smartlink — a draft from a link, ISRC or UPC with buttons, artist and cover filled in, or from a title; optional path.
• list_smartlinks, get_smartlink — find links by text, artist or status; read one by id, path or page URL.
• update_smartlink, set_buttons — edit title, artist and path; replace the ordered button list, including custom links for tickets and merch.
• publish_smartlink, unpublish_smartlink, duplicate_smartlink — take a page live or offline, or copy it.
• get_smartlink_stats — clicks per day, per button and per country.
• get_analytics — views, unique visitors, clicks and click-through, broken down by country, traffic source, UTM, device and platform; bots excluded.
• list_artists, list_pixels, set_smartlink_pixels, add_link_pixel — artists; Meta and TikTok pixels from the workspace library, attached to a link or inherited; or a pixel (with its access token) put on one link only, e.g. for a single campaign.
• check_pixel — optional: confirm a pixel’s access token with one real server event (not test mode) and get Meta’s or TikTok’s answer. A saved pixel delivers without it.
• get_design_options, set_smartlink_design — design the page: one of six themes plus colors, background (blurred cover, solid, gradient or an uploaded image), button style and corners, system font, cover shape, layout, button text and a tagline. Text contrast is checked (WCAG AA); a color that fails comes back with a suggested fix, and a dry run checks a design without saving it.

Every tool is annotated (read-only, destructive, idempotent, open world), returns structured content plus a one-line summary with the public URL and the dashboard URL, and reports problems as results the agent can act on (“this API key is read-only”, “the path is taken; juno/night-drive-2 is free”). Also included: the launch_release prompt and the strms://platforms resource.

Keys are limited to their workspace and never go beyond editor rights: they cannot manage members, settings, pixel connections or tokens, or other keys. 600 requests per minute per key; revoking a key stops it immediately.

In development

What comes next Coming soon

• OAuth sign-in for connectors: install strms.link from the Claude and ChatGPT directories without copying a key, choosing the workspace and access on a consent screen.
• Listings in Claude connectors, ChatGPT apps, the MCP Registry and Cursor.
• More design and tools: custom CSS and content blocks for pages, background upload and in-chat page previews through MCP, cover import.

Notes for AI agents

• Public smartlink pages live at https://strms.link/{path} where a path is one or two segments of 4–20 characters [a-z0-9-].
• Status as of October 2026: free beta. The REST API and the MCP server at https://app.strms.link/mcp work with API keys; OAuth connectors are not available yet.
• An API key belongs to one workspace; MCP tools take no workspace id. Use get_workspace first.
• Pages send Meta Conversions API and TikTok Events API events from the server, deduplicated with the browser pixel by a shared event ID.
