Flit: Short Links Without the Enterprise Markup

flit.ing Observed source
Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A short-link service with QR codes, click analytics, custom domains, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The page combines a browser shortening form with developer-facing access: REST API keys are described as scoped, and read-only keys are said to remain read-only across surfaces. Each link is presented as receiving both PNG and SVG QR outputs, while analytics are broken down by referrer, country, and device. The homepage also displays a command-line-style MCP example for asking an AI assistant to shorten a URL and assign a slug. These capabilities are stated on the page rather than independently tested here.
