RedirHub Launches MCP Server: AI Agent Redirect Management, Now on the Free Plan

RedirHub has shipped its MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, bringing AI-powered redirect management to every plan — including Free. With this launch, you can create, update, test, and monitor URL redirects directly from any MCP-compatible AI agent like Claude, Cursor, or VS Code Copilot.

This matters because most competitors either don't offer MCP access at all, or gate it behind expensive tiers. RedirHub made a deliberate choice: MCP is infrastructure, and infrastructure should be accessible to everyone.

What Is the RedirHub MCP Server?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI applications communicate with external tools and services. RedirHub's MCP server implements this protocol, turning any MCP-compatible AI client into a powerful redirect management interface.

With the MCP server, your AI agent can:

• •
  Create and manage redirects — set up 301s, 302s, frame redirects, and path-based rules without touching a dashboard
• •
  Manage short links — generate branded short URLs, list and update existing links
• •
  Control domains — update domain settings, refresh DNS, enable/disable short links per host
• •
  Bulk operations — import hundreds of redirects, apply field changes across records, or delete in bulk
• •
  Manage your workspace — invite team members, update roles, adjust workspace settings — all from the chat interface

Connect in Under 2 Minutes

Getting started takes two steps:

1. 1. Generate an API token from dashboard (Settings → API Tokens)
2. 2. Add the config to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

Add this to your client config:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redirhub": {
      "url": "https://api.redirhub.com/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rh_YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

That's it. Your AI agent can now manage every redirect in your workspace.

What Makes This Different

Free access. Most redirect tools charge $50–$100+/month for API access. Dub's MCP integration is gated behind the $75/month plan. RedirHub's MCP server works on the Free plan — full access to 16 tools covering redirects, short links, domains, workspace management, and bulk operations.

Bulk operations with dry-run safety. The bulk import, update, and delete tools include a dry-run mode — preview exactly which records will be affected before making any changes. No accidental data loss.

Full workspace control. Not just redirects — you can manage team members, domain settings, and workspace configuration from the same interface. Your AI agent becomes a full team management console.

Standard HTTP transport. Uses Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0) — the most widely supported MCP transport. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible client out of the box.

What You Can Ask Your AI Agent

Once connected, try prompts like:

• •
  "Create a 301 redirect from /old-blog to /blog on my domain."
• •
  "List all short links on my marketing domain."
• •
  "Import these 500 URLs from this JSON into my workspace."
• •
  "Show me all redirects tagged 'marketing' and their click stats."
