Overview

tny.dev is an API-first link shortener designed for AI agents.

One of the key features of tny.dev is its ease of integration and flexibility, offering both a one-click install for casual users through Claude Desktop and a npm package for developers seeking full control over their MCP config.

Users have the capability to shorten links using natural language commands, and the tool also supports custom domains. For users seeking insightful data, the tool provides real-time click insights.

Its real-world use cases range from content creation, where AI agents automatically shorten URLs in social media posts, newsletters, blog content, to analytics reporting and bulk operations for processing multiple URLs at once. Furthermore, the tool provides options for custom slug and domain ID usage.

I built TNY.dev on three principles:

- Terminal-First, Not Tab-First

- Built for AI Agents (with first class MCP & Claude DXT support)

- Priced Like a Utility: $0 or $9/month

No usage tiers: Unlimited links

No feature gates when you upgrade: Everything is included Custom Domains, Slugs, Webhooks

No upsells: We won't "scale with you"

Edge infrastructure: Sub-50ms redirects globally

The philosophy is "Built to Be Outgrown"

We expect you to leave us.

When you need "enterprise features" beyond the basics graduate to something bigger. We'll celebrate. That's success.
