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."
