KeyShortcuts MCP Server
A free, stateless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for keyboard shortcuts — hosted at https://keyshortcuts.net/api/mcp. No API key, no sign-in, no rate-limit paywall for basic use.
Search 2,719 verified shortcut records across 7 platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, Android) and 45 apps (VS Code, Excel, Figma, Photoshop, Notion, Slack, Vim, IntelliJ IDEA, Cursor, and more) — or look up what a key combination does, compare across platforms, and translate bindings between Windows/macOS.
Quick start
Add to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"keyshortcuts": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://keyshortcuts.net/api/mcp"
}
}
}Claude Desktop / Claude Code
claude mcp add keyshortcuts --transport http https://keyshortcuts.net/api/mcpAvailable tools
Every record carries source references and per-binding review status — shortcuts are facts, but which ones are confirmed for your platform matters. The server never guesses platform translations.
