What is Hovercode MCP?
Hovercode creates and manage QR codes, short links, landing pages, and forms through an AI assistant.
Summary generated from the project's README
About Hovercode MCP server
Hovercode allows you to manage digital assets like QR codes, short links, landing pages, and forms through an AI assistant. You can connect directly to the hosted endpoint at hovercode.com/mcp/ using OAuth 2.1 or an API token. For clients that only support stdio, a small bridge package is available via npx to connect to the remote server. This setup works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other Model Context Protocol clients.
Users can perform complex tasks such as creating bulk QR codes, building rich block-based landing pages, and managing form responses. The server provides tools to update existing codes without changing the physical print, such as retargeting a URL or restyling the design. It also includes analytics capabilities to track scan trends, locations, and device types. Everything created through the chat interface appears in your standard Hovercode dashboard.
What you can do with it
- 1Generate branded QR codesCreate a custom QR code for a specific URL using your brand colors and a custom caption.
- 2Update printed materials remotelyChange the destination of an existing QR code to a new PDF link without needing to reprint the physical item.
- 3Build event landing pagesConstruct a landing page containing a schedule, maps, and a sign-up form for a specific event.
- 4Analyze scan performanceRetrieve data regarding where and how people are interacting with your QR codes.

README
View on GitHubHovercode MCP server
Manage your Hovercode QR codes, short links, landing pages, and forms from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client — by chatting.
- Endpoint:
https://hovercode.com/mcp/(Streamable HTTP, hosted — nothing to run) - Auth: OAuth 2.1 (dynamic client registration + PKCE), or a Hovercode API token as a bearer token
- Docs: https://hovercode.com/integrations/mcp/ · https://hovercode.com/api/#mcp-server
- This package: a tiny stdio bridge (
npx hovercode-mcp) for clients that can't connect to remote servers directly. It wrapsmcp-remoteand points it at the hosted endpoint, so tools and behaviour are identical.
Anything the assistant creates lands in your Hovercode dashboard like any other code, and every create tool returns both a shareable link and the rendered QR image.
Connect
Claude, ChatGPT, and other connector clients (recommended)
Add a custom connector with the URL https://hovercode.com/mcp/ and approve access. You log in to Hovercode as normal; there is no token to copy.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http hovercode https://hovercode.com/mcp/ \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
Your API token is on https://hovercode.com/api/.
Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other config-file clients
Remote (preferred):
{
"mcpServers": {
"hovercode": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://hovercode.com/mcp/",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" }
}
}
}
Via this package (for clients that only support stdio servers):
{
"mcpServers": {
"hovercode": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "hovercode-mcp"]
}
}
}
With no token set, the bridge opens a browser for the Hovercode OAuth login the first time. To skip the browser, set HOVERCODE_API_TOKEN:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hovercode": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "hovercode-mcp"],
"env": { "HOVERCODE_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN" }
}
}
}

Plans and limits
The server is available on every Hovercode plan and respects the same limits as the dashboard and REST API. Static codes are unlimited; the free plan includes a small number of active dynamic (editable, tracked) codes and paid plans raise that limit.
