What is the QRKit MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to call outside tools. The QRKit MCP server exposes your QRKit workspace as 19 tools, so Claude, ChatGPT or Claude Code 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), bulk creation and the webhook read tools need a paid plan. Your assistant's own subscription is separate — Claude custom connectors work on the free Claude plan, 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, and there is nothing to copy into a settings file. You will see an entry called "MCP connection" in your API keys list; it is not a usable key.

Why is there no client secret?

QRKit registers a public OAuth client that uses PKCE, the OAuth 2.1 method designed for apps that cannot keep a secret. The client ID on this page is meant to be public. The authorization code can only be delivered to the registered callback addresses of Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code, 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 run claude mcp remove qrkit in Claude Code. That revokes the OAuth grant immediately. 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, WiFi, vCard, plain text, email, SMS and calendar event codes, with design options for colors, gradients, dot and eye shapes, error correction, a logo and a transparent background. URL codes are dynamic by default and vCard codes are always dynamic, so both need a paid plan; WiFi, text, email, SMS and event codes are static unless you ask for a dynamic one on a paid plan.

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.

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

Three things to paste, one sign-in

Every client needs the same two values: the server URL and the QRKit OAuth client ID. There is no client secret — QRKit uses a public OAuth client with PKCE, so the ID below is safe to share.

Claude Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise, and Claude Free with one custom connector (as of September 2026). Add it once on claude.ai; connectors follow your Claude account.

1
Create a free QRKit account, or sign in if you have one.
2
In Claude, open Customize → Connectors, click + and choose "Add custom connector". On Team or Enterprise an owner does this under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web.
3
Paste the server URL.
```
https://api.useqrkit.com/mcp
```
4
Open "Advanced settings" and paste this OAuth Client ID. Leave "OAuth Client Secret" empty — there is none.
```
cbr3QSYxMJQg8jRJ
```
5
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.

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 paste this OAuth Client ID. Leave the client secret empty.
```
cbr3QSYxMJQg8jRJ
```
5
Create the connector, then authorize it: sign in to QRKit and approve the permissions. Enable QRKit in a chat from the Developer mode tool picker.

Any Claude Code install. The command registers the server for the current project; add --scope user to make it available everywhere.

Tools

Everything the assistant can do

Nineteen tools, the same ones behind the QRKit REST API. Read-only tools never change anything. Plan limits are enforced per call, and a refused call tells the assistant why.

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.

profile
Your name and avatar (standard sign-in)
email
Your email address (standard sign-in)
qr:read
View QR codes
qr:write
Create and edit QR codes
analytics:read
View scan analytics
webhooks:read

To disconnect, remove the connector in Claude or ChatGPT, or run claude mcp remove qrkit in Claude Code. That revokes the grant immediately.
