create_link
Create a new short link on dub.co, asking the user which domain to use
LABSCO SUMMARY
A short link's whole life — created, repointed, removed — fits into three calls.
create_link asks which domain to use rather than assuming one, which matters on an account holding several. The external ID is the hook back to your own records, so a link made for a particular campaign can be found again without keeping its key somewhere. Because update_link can change the destination, a link already in circulation is repointed rather than replaced.
What it is
A three-call client for dub.co short links.
What you get
- A short link created on a chosen domain, with the key and destination URL you specify and an external ID of your own.
- An existing link updated by its ID or by domain and key, destination included.
- A link deleted by its ID.
Requirements
A dub.co account and its key, supplied as DUBCO_API_KEY.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx dubco-mcp-server, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Handing out a link before the destination is settled
The link can go out first and be repointed later, which keeps printed or scheduled material from depending on a final URL.
02
Retiring a link that should stop resolving
Deleting by ID is the clean end of a link's life, rather than leaving it pointing somewhere stale.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
3 tools when we connected. There is no tool to list or look up links, so update_link and delete_link need a linkId from the Dub.co dashboard or API.
Requires
- npx on PATH
- Node.js 16.0.0 or later
- DUBCO_API_KEY in your environment
