Linkdash

What Linkdash Does

Linkdash is a comprehensive URL shortening and file-sharing service purpose-built for teams and AI agents. It creates tracked short links for URLs, uploaded files, and text snippets—complete with QR codes, optional password protection, expiry dates, and per-request analytics. Unlike traditional link shorteners, Linkdash is designed to be driven entirely by AI agents and custom automation through its CLI and HTTP API.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Multi-Payload Support: Shorten URLs, host files (up to 1–200GB depending on tier), and save text snippets—all as trackable links
• Advanced Link Variants: Split traffic, A/B test destinations, or target by country, device, or query parameter under a single slug
• Real-Time Analytics: Track clicks, countries, devices, referrers, and variant performance through dashboard, CLI, or API
• Agent-First Design: Full MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI assistants—agents can create, modify, and analyze links without human intervention
• Custom Domains: Use your own branded domains instead of lida.sh (1–unlimited domains by tier)
• QR Code Generation: Auto-generated QR codes with Linkdash branding or your own logo
• Password & Expiry Controls: Lock links and files behind passwords or set automatic expiration

Who It's For

Linkdash serves teams that share links frequently and need granular tracking—marketers running campaigns, product teams measuring app install flows, support teams distributing secure files, and developers building automation. It's especially valuable for AI-assisted workflows where agents need to create and monitor links autonomously.

Typical Workflows

1. Marketing Campaigns: Create campaign links with UTM parameters preserved, split-test landing pages, and track geographic performance—all from Claude or your terminal
2. App Distribution: Generate one link that routes iPhone users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play, with install tracking
3. Secure File Sharing: Upload sensitive files, password-protect them, and monitor who downloads what
4. AI-Driven Link Management: Let your AI assistant create links, rotate destinations, and pull stats without touching the UI

Integration & Access

Every operation available in the dashboard can be performed via CLI (linkdash-cli) or REST API, making Linkdash fully automatable. The MCP server works out-of-the-box with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI tools—just authenticate once and your assistant gains full link management capabilities. Supports custom domains, webhooks for real-time events, and JSON/CSV export.

What Sets It Apart

Linkdash is the only shortener designed for AI agents as first-class users. While competitors offer APIs as an afterthought, Linkdash's MCP integration means your AI assistant can create split tests, analyze click patterns, and manage domains conversationally—no API key copying or manual dashboard work required.
