Notes and caveats
- OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration is recommended; a Bitly API token from bitly.com/settings/api in an Authorization Bearer header also works.
- All endpoints require authentication since December 2025.
- Claude Code and Cursor snippets are for ~/.claude/mcp.json and ~/.cursor/mcp.json (OAuth variant shown; the docs also give an API-token variant).
- Windsurf and stdio-only clients use the mcp-remote npx proxy, which needs Node.js 20+.
- In August 2026 tools were renamed with a bitly_ prefix and 32 per-endpoint analytics tools were merged into three, so older tool names no longer exist.
- OAuth in Claude Web needs Workspace Admin enablement on Team and Enterprise plans.
- Changelog gives month-level dates only (initial release August 2025, latest entry September 2026).
- The tools reference lists more than 50 tools; 15 shown.
