Shareglow tools (7, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscreate_short_linkwrite actionFreeCreate a short link with its own link preview. Optional custom slug, and optional A/B variants (each with a title, description, imageUrl or templateId) to test which preview gets more clicks. Returns id, shortUrl and variants. Use the id with get_link_stats.
create_template_from_urlwrite actionFreeUse AI to design a new OG image template from a website's brand (logo, colors, fonts) taken from a URL. Returns the chosen layoutId (a built-in template id usable with generate_og_image), the variables to pass, and the extracted brand kit. Counts against the plan's AI quota.
generate_og_imageFreeRender a 1200x630 Open Graph image from a template id (see list_templates) and text params such as title and subtitle. Returns the permanent image URL to put in og:image, and whether it was already cached. Optional exp (Unix seconds, paid plans) makes the signed URL expire; leave it out for an og:image URL.
get_link_statsFreeGet click analytics for a short link by id (from create_short_link): totals plus breakdowns by day, country, device, browser and referrer. Optional from/to dates (YYYY-MM-DD).
list_templatesFreeList the OG image templates the workspace can render (built-in and custom) with id, name, version and dimensions. Call this before generate_og_image to pick a templateId.
refresh_previewFreeForce social platforms to re-fetch a page's link preview after you changed its OG tags or image: bumps the og:image cache-buster, re-scrapes Facebook, and returns the LinkedIn Post Inspector link and the X cache note.
scan_urlFreeScan a public web page and report its link-preview (Open Graph / Twitter Card) metadata, previews per platform, and issues with fix suggestions. Use it to answer 'why does my link preview look wrong?'.

What the publisher says
From the Shareglow repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
shareglow-mcp
MCP server for Shareglow: scan link previews, generate Open Graph images, create short links with their own preview, and read click stats from any MCP client.
It is a thin client of the Shareglow REST API (/v1). Your API key is passed straight through, so plan limits and rate limits apply unchanged. The server holds no credentials of its own.
Hosted endpoint
https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...Transport: Streamable HTTP. Create an API key at https://app.getshareglow.com/developer.

Client setup
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http shareglow https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."Claude Desktop
Claude Desktop reaches remote servers through mcp-remote. Add to claudedesktopconfig.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shareglow": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH}"],
"env": { "AUTH": "Bearer sk_live_..." }
}
}
}Or skip the remote and use the stdio server below.
Cursor
~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shareglow": {
"url": "https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..." }
}
}
}Local stdio (any client)
{
"mcpServers": {
"shareglow": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "shareglow-mcp"],
"env": { "SHAREGLOW_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." }
}
}
}The key can also be passed as --api-key sklive.... SHAREGLOWAPIURL points the server at another REST base (default https://app.getshareglow.com).
Errors and limits
- Each tool needs the key scope of its REST call. A key without it gets 403 insufficient_scope.
- REST 401, 402, 403 and 429 become MCP tool errors (isError: true) that carry the API's message.
- URLs are validated before forwarding (http/https, no private or local hosts).
- Tool results are truncated at 20,000 characters. The API key is redacted from every result and error.
Local development
npm install
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build
npm run dev # Streamable HTTP on PORT (default 8791)
