Permissions Found in Source Code

HTTP Network Access

Connects to external APIs or services over the internet.

Shell Command Execution

Runs commands on the server that hosts it, not on your machine.

clipboard

Applies to the server that hosts this plugin, not to your machine.

Why KooLink

  • Free forever — no account, no credit card, no limits
  • Clean, memorable URLs — kool.ink/xyz, not bit.ly/4xdK9qZ
  • AI-agent ready — same service over MCP at https://mcp.kool.ink, or the REST API
  • Analytics — every link is click-tracked with bot traffic filtered out
  • Creator Earning Programme — as traffic grows, you earn

API

The CLI calls the public anonymous endpoint:

curl -X POST https://kool.ink/api/links \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

For AI agents, use the MCP server at https://mcp.kool.ink (no API key needed for anonymous shortening).
