Description
tny.dev is an API-first link shortener created specifically for AI agents.
A primary advantage of tny.dev lies in its simple integration and adaptability. It provides both a one-click installation via Claude Desktop for everyday users and an npm package for developers who want complete control over their MCP settings.
Users are able to shorten links using straightforward natural language commands, and the system accommodates custom domains. For those seeking detailed information, the platform delivers real-time click analytics.
Practical applications range from content creation, where AI agents automatically shorten URLs in social media updates, email newsletters, and blog posts, to analytics tracking and mass processing of numerous URLs at once. The system also offers options to utilize custom slugs and domain IDs.
I built TNY.dev on three principles:
- Terminal-First, Not Tab-First
- Built for AI Agents (with first class MCP & Claude DXT support)
- Priced Like a Utility: $0 or $9/month

No usage tiers: Unlimited links
No feature gates when you upgrade: Everything is included Custom Domains, Slugs, Webhooks
No upsells: We won't scale with you
Edge infrastructure: Sub-50ms redirects globally
The philosophy is Built to Be Outgrown
We expect you to leave us.
When you need enterprise features beyond the basics graduate to something bigger. We'll celebrate. That's success.
We're the disposable camera of SaaS. Perfect for right now, memorable for what we enabled, graceful in our obsolescence.
P.S. If you're from Bitly or another competitor and reading this nothing personal. You built a great product. I just think it should cost $9.
