qURL
Connects Claude or any MCP client to LayerV's qURL API for generating scope-limited, expiring access links. You get nine tools covering the full lifecycle: create_qurl and batch_create_qurls for minting new links, resolve_qurl to exchange tokens for target URLs, list_qurls and get_qurl for inventory, plus delete, extend, and update for lifecycle management. Requires a LayerV API key with qurl:read, qurl:write, or qurl:resolve scopes depending on which operations you need. Reach for this when you're building agent workflows that need to grant temporary, auditable access to protected resources without embedding long-lived credentials or manually rotating tokens.

Configuration
QURL_API_KEYsecretOptional. Without it, the tools run through the local qURL CLI (qurl), which needs no account. With it, the tools use the qURL API: a key with qurl:read, qurl:write, and/or qurl:resolve scopes from https://layerv.ai.
QURL_API_URLdefault: https://api.layerv.aiqURL API base URL. Defaults to https://api.layerv.ai. Override only for testing against a non-production qURL backend.
QURL_CONNECTOR_URLConnector base URL used by local-file, file-data, and text-to-PDF upload tools before minting a qURL.
QURL_LINK_HOSTSOptional comma-separated exact hostnames or IPs for uploaded-file links. No schemes, ports, or wildcards. Blank values retain any file-configured policy.
QURL_MCP_CONFIGOptional path to a shared qURL MCP config file. Both stdio and HTTP modes can read SMTP, connector, and default API settings from this file.
MCP_MAX_UPLOAD_FILE_DATA_BYTESdefault: 10mbMaximum decoded/local upload size. Accepts bytes or units such as 10mb; capped at 100mb.
QURL_SMTP_HOSTSMTP hostname for optional qURL link delivery.
QURL_SMTP_PORTSMTP port for optional qURL link delivery.
QURL_SMTP_SECUREWhether SMTP uses an implicit TLS connection (true/false).
QURL_SMTP_USERNAMEsecretSMTP authentication username.
QURL_SMTP_PASSWORDsecretSMTP authentication password or app-specific credential.
QURL_SMTP_FROM_EMAILValidated sender email address for qURL delivery.
QURL_SMTP_FROM_NAMEOptional sender display name for qURL delivery.
QURL_SMTP_ALLOWED_RECIPIENTSOptional comma-separated exact recipient allowlist.
QURL_SMTP_ALLOWED_RECIPIENT_DOMAINSOptional comma-separated recipient-domain allowlist.
QURL_SMTP_MAX_RECIPIENTS_PER_MESSAGEdefault: 10Maximum recipients in one delivery request (default 10).
QURL_SMTP_MAX_RECIPIENTS_PER_HOURdefault: 100Maximum attempted recipients per qURL key per fixed hourly window (default 100).
QURL_MCP_FEEDBACKdefault: onSet to off to hide and disable outbound LayerV product feedback. Default on. Feedback is sent only by an explicit submit_feedback tool call.
Readme
qURL MCP server for temporary access links
Give an AI agent tools to share localhost web apps, private APIs, and selected
files through expiring qURL™ by LayerV access links.
This repository implements the Model Context Protocol server for that workflow.
The @layervai/qurl-mcp package runs as a local stdio server backed by the
qURL CLI or API, or as an authenticated remote HTTP server backed by the API.
Start with the no-account local quickstart
or account-backed client configuration, then choose
the tools for your task. In local mode, publish_crid runs the installed
CLI to publish an app that is already running; share_by_crid issues its
access link. Creating a link alone does not publish an app or restrict an
existing public URL. Uploads require the account-backed tool set and use a separate connector lifecycle;
see upload tools for their supported options and limits.
