The connection is free and needs only a free QRKit account. What the assistant can do follows your QRKit plan: the free plan creates static QR codes and allows 50 requests a month at up to 5 a minute; dynamic codes (editable after printing, with scan analytics) and the webhook read tools need a paid plan, and bulk creation needs Plus or above. Your assistant's own subscription is separate — the free Claude plan allows one custom connector; ChatGPT's Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan.

Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in to QRKit through OAuth from inside the assistant and approve the permissions on a consent screen. No API key is created or shown; the only thing you paste is the server URL. You will see an entry called "MCP connection" in your API keys list; it is not a usable key.

Do I need a client ID or secret?

Usually not. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, VS Code, Codex and opencode identify themselves to QRKit with an identity document their maker publishes (OAuth Client ID Metadata Documents), and QRKit only accepts the apps it has approved, so you paste just the server URL. Cursor doesn't support that yet, so it uses QRKit's public client ID, cbr3QSYxMJQg8jRJ. There is never a client secret: sign-in uses PKCE, the OAuth 2.1 method for apps that cannot keep one, and the authorization code is only delivered to each approved app's own callback address, so knowing the ID gives nobody access to anything.

What can the assistant see and change?

What the consent screen covers: your basic sign-in profile, and in QRKit, reading and writing QR codes and the folders and batches they live in, reading scan analytics, and reading (never changing) webhook settings. It cannot create API keys, change billing, edit webhooks or reach anything outside the workspace you signed in with. Deleting a code is possible, and the tool description tells the assistant to confirm with you first.

Remove the connector in Claude or ChatGPT, or remove the qrkit server from your editor or CLI (claude mcp remove qrkit in Claude Code, codex mcp remove qrkit in Codex). Revoking the "MCP connection" entry in your QRKit dashboard does not disconnect anything — it is recreated on the next call.

Does a failed call count against my quota?

Yes. QRKit meters every request the same way it does for the REST API, including rejected ones, so a request that fails for a plan limit still uses one of the month's 50 free requests. The tool descriptions tell assistants not to retry rejected calls in a loop.

Which QR code types can it create?

URL, social link (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, Pinterest, Linktree, Google Form), WhatsApp, Telegram, location, app store, review page, WiFi, vCard, plain text, email, SMS, calendar event and GS1 Digital Link codes, with design options for colors, gradients, dot and eye shapes, error correction, a logo and a transparent background. URL, social link, WhatsApp, Telegram and location codes are dynamic by default and can be made static; vCard, app store and review page codes are always dynamic, so they need a paid plan; WiFi, text, email, SMS and event codes are static unless you ask for a dynamic one on a paid plan. GS1 codes are free and static on your own resolver; QRKit-hosted (dynamic) GS1 codes need a paid plan.

Something went wrong. What do I check?

If the consent screen never opens, check that the server URL has no trailing slash and that any client secret field is empty. If the app asks for a client ID (other than Cursor) or says it is not allowed, update it to a current version; apps not listed on this page can't connect yet. If the assistant says a call was refused, that is a plan limit, not a bug: free accounts create static codes only, and dynamic codes, analytics, bulk creation and webhook reads need a paid plan. If everything is refused at once, you may have used the 50 requests a free account allows each month; the count resets monthly and refused calls count too. Disconnecting and reconnecting the connector runs the sign-in again.

Is the same thing available through the REST API?

Yes. The MCP tools and the REST API share one implementation, so anything an assistant can do you can also script with an API key from your dashboard. See the QR code API page and the developer docs.

Get Started Free

QRKit MCP Server

MCP lets an AI assistant use QRKit for you. Create, edit and track QR codes from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and more. Paste one URL and sign in — no API key, nothing to install.

MCP is the open standard that lets an AI assistant use outside tools on your behalf. Connect QRKit once and Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, VS Code, Codex, Cursor or opencode can create, edit, organize and report on your QR codes for you. The QRKit MCP server runs on our side: paste its URL into your assistant and sign in with your QRKit account. No API key to copy, nothing to install, and a free account is enough to start.

What you can ask

Talk to your QR codes

Once connected, the assistant picks the right tool for the request. A few things people ask:

“Create a QR code for https://example.com/spring-sale and show me the PNG.”
“Make a WiFi QR code for the network "Studio-Guest" with password 7hG2!pq.”
“Point my "Table tent" QR code at the new booking link instead.”
“How many scans did my "Poster A" code get last week, and from which cities?”
“Put every code tagged "event" into a folder called Conference 2026.”
“Create 120 dynamic codes from this list of URLs, all with the black-on-white rounded design.”
“Is my Zapier webhook still delivering? Show the last failed delivery.”

Connect

One URL to paste, one sign-in

Paste the server URL into your assistant and sign in with your QRKit account. The assistant identifies itself to QRKit on its own, so there is no client ID, secret or API key to copy.

Server URL

https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp

Cursor is the exception: it needs the public QRKit client ID cbr3QSYxMJQg8jRJ, shown in its tab. There is no secret anywhere.

Claude Free (one custom connector), Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise, on claude.ai, the desktop app and mobile. Add it once; connectors follow your Claude account.

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.
2
In Claude, open Customize → Connectors and click "Add custom connector". On Team or Enterprise an owner does this under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom.
3
Paste the server URL. If Claude asks how it should identify itself, keep "Use Claude's published identity". Leave the client ID and secret empty.
```
https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp
```
4
Click Add, then Connect. Sign in to QRKit and approve the permissions on the consent screen. That is it — ask Claude to create a QR code.

ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu with Developer mode on. Not available on the free ChatGPT plan.

We have not been able to test this flow end to end on a paid ChatGPT plan, so the labels you see may differ slightly.

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.
2
In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
3
Back in Apps & Connectors choose Create, name it QRKit and paste the server URL.
```
https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp
```
4
Set Authentication to OAuth and leave the client ID and secret empty: ChatGPT identifies itself to QRKit automatically. If it asks for a registration method, choose the client metadata document (CIMD).
5
Create the app, then sign in to QRKit and approve the permissions. Enable QRKit in a chat from the Developer mode tool picker.

Any current Claude Code install. --scope user makes QRKit available in every project; leave it out to add it to the current project only.

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.

Run this in your terminal.

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user qrkit https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp

3
Start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose qrkit and pick Authenticate. Sign in to QRKit in the browser tab that opens and approve the permissions.
```
/mcp
```

VS Code with GitHub Copilot. MCP tools are used from Copilot Chat in agent mode.

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.
2
Run "MCP: Open User Configuration" from the Command Palette to make QRKit available in every workspace, and add the qrkit server. "MCP: Add Server" → HTTP does the same through a guided prompt.
```
{
  "servers": {
    "qrkit": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
3
Start the server from the code lens above it, or from "MCP: List Servers". When VS Code asks to sign in, allow it, sign in to QRKit and approve the permissions.
4
Open Copilot Chat in agent mode; the QRKit tools appear in the tools picker.

Codex CLI. The Codex IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app read the same configuration, so adding it once covers all of them.

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.

Add the server.

codex mcp add qrkit --url https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp

3
Sign in: a browser tab opens; sign in to QRKit and approve the permissions. In the IDE extension or the desktop app, click Authenticate next to qrkit instead.
```
codex mcp login qrkit
```
4
Check the connection.
```
codex mcp list
```

The Cursor desktop app. Cursor does not identify itself automatically yet, so it is the one client that needs the QRKit client ID; it is public, and there is no secret.

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project) and add the qrkit server with the QRKit client ID. Leave out CLIENT_SECRET.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qrkit": {
      "url": "https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "cbr3QSYxMJQg8jRJ"
      }
    }
  }
}

3
Open Cursor's MCP settings, find qrkit and connect it. Sign in to QRKit in the browser and approve the permissions.

A current version of opencode (run opencode upgrade if sign-in asks for a client ID).

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.

Add the qrkit server to opencode.json in your project, or to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json for every project.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "qrkit": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3
Sign in: a browser tab opens; sign in to QRKit and approve the permissions.
```
opencode mcp auth qrkit
```

Access

You approve a short, fixed list of permissions

The assistant signs in as you through OAuth 2.1. The consent screen lists what it may do; nothing outside that list is reachable, and no API key is ever created or shown. Deleting a code is a soft delete, and the tool tells the assistant to confirm with you before it does.

To disconnect, remove the connector in Claude or ChatGPT, or remove the qrkit server from your editor or CLI (for example claude mcp remove qrkit). The assistant can no longer reach your workspace after that.

QRKit MCP Server — Frequently Asked Questions

: MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to call outside tools. The QRKit MCP server exposes your QRKit workspace as 20 tools, so Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, VS Code, Codex, Cursor or opencode can create, edit, organize, download and report on your QR codes in plain language. It runs on QRKit's servers at https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp — nothing to install.
: The connection is free and needs only a free QRKit account. What the assistant can do follows your QRKit plan: the free plan creates static QR codes and allows 50 requests a month at up to 5 a minute; dynamic codes (editable after printing, with scan analytics) and the webhook read tools need a paid plan, and bulk creation needs Plus or above. Your assistant's own subscription is separate — the free Claude plan allows one custom connector; ChatGPT's Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan.
: No. You sign in to QRKit through OAuth from inside the assistant and approve the permissions on a consent screen. No API key is created or shown; the only thing you paste is the server URL. You will see an entry called "MCP connection" in your API keys list; it is not a usable key.

Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, VS Code, Codex and opencode identify themselves to QRKit with an identity document their maker publishes (OAuth Client ID Metadata Documents), and QRKit only accepts the apps it has approved, so you paste just the server URL. Cursor doesn't support that yet, so it uses QRKit's public client ID, cbr3QSYxMJQg8jRJ.

If the assistant says a call was refused, that is a plan limit, not a bug: free accounts create static codes only, and dynamic codes, analytics, bulk creation and webhook reads need a paid plan. If everything is refused at once, you may have used the 50 requests a free account allows each month; the count resets monthly and refused calls count too. Disconnecting and reconnecting the connector runs the sign-in again.
: Yes. The MCP tools and the REST API share one implementation, so anything an assistant can do you can also script with an API key from your dashboard. See the QR code API page and the developer docs.
