What is the QRBold MCP server?

The QRBold MCP server lets AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT work inside your QRBold account. After a one-time sign-in, you can ask the assistant in plain language to create QR codes and digital business cards, update them, show the QR image, and report scan statistics. It is included on every plan.

Connecting takes three steps

No key to copy, nothing to install. You do this once per app; after that it just works.

  1. 1

    Paste the link

    Copy the QRBold link into your AI app’s "add connector" box.

  2. 2

    Sign in & click Allow

    A QRBold page opens. Sign in like always, then click Allow. Once.

  3. 3

    Just ask

    "Make a QR code for our menu." It’s created, shown, and saved to your account.

What you can ask it to do

Everything below happens in your real QRBold account, exactly as if you had clicked through the dashboard.

Create a QR code

A dynamic QR code that opens any link. Change the link later without reprinting.

Create a digital business card

From a name, title, company, email, phone, website and links — or paste an email signature.

Update a card or a QR code

Change a phone number, a job title, a destination link. Pause or archive a code.

Get the QR image

PNG or SVG shown right in the chat, with a download link.

Check scan statistics

Scans, unique visitors, trend, top countries and devices — per code or for the whole account.

Find your cards and codes

Search by name, see the public link, see how many scans each one has.

Create a whole team at once

Paste a roster or a spreadsheet and get a digital business card for every person in one go.

Make a QR code for a file

Give the link to a PDF menu, price list or brochure; the file is stored with your account and the code opens it.

Restyle a QR code

Brand colours, dot and eye shapes, a centre logo, a frame with a call to action — and a warning if it would stop scanning.

Share a card with a colleague

Invite someone by email to edit a card or see its leads and analytics, and revoke it later. Team and Business card plans.

Use your card templates

Create new digital business cards that follow the design your team already set up.

See your plan and limits

The assistant checks how many codes and cards you have left before it creates more.

Try saying

  • “Make a QR code for https://example.com/menu and call it "Summer menu".”
  • “Create a digital business card for Priya Nair, Sales Lead at Acme, priya@acme.com, +1 415 555 0133.”
  • “How many scans did my "Trade show banner" code get this week, and from which countries?”
  • “Change the link behind my "Spring promo" QR code to the new landing page.”
  • “Show me the QR image for my digital business card as an SVG.”
  • “Here is my email signature — turn it into a digital business card.”

Safe by design

Built the same way “Sign in with Google” works — you approve once, and you can take it back any time.

You sign in on QRBold, not in the chat

The AI app never sees your password. It gets a limited token that only does what the Allow screen says.

You see the permissions before you say yes

The Allow screen lists exactly what the app will be able to do. Nothing hidden, nothing extra.

Disconnect in one click

Settings → Developer API → Connected apps shows every app you approved. Disconnect ends its access.

It asks before anything risky

Deleting a digital business card needs your explicit yes. QR codes can only be paused, never deleted, from an assistant.

Who it is for

Sales and field teams

Ask for a digital business card in the middle of a chat, get the QR image, and put it on a slide or badge in the same minute.

Marketing

Spin up a tracked QR code for every campaign asset without leaving the doc you are writing in.

Anyone who reports numbers

"How did last week’s codes do?" becomes a question you ask, not a dashboard you open.

Agencies and admins

Create dozens of codes and cards by describing them; the assistant does the clicking.

Developers

Give Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code a real QR code tool. Same URL, same sign-in, nothing to host.

What is MCP, in plain words?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open standard, introduced by Anthropic in late 2024 and since adopted by OpenAI and others, that gives an AI assistant a safe way to use outside tools. Think of it as a USB port for AI: any app that has the port can plug in any tool that fits it.

QRBold is one of those tools. Our MCP server tells the assistant what it can do (“create a QR code”, “look up scan statistics”) and does the actual work when the assistant asks. You never see any of that — you just see the answer in the chat and the result in your dashboard.

Why connect an AI assistant to QRBold?

Most QR codes and digital business cards are made while you are doing something else: writing a campaign brief, preparing for an event, replying to a new contact. Opening a dashboard, filling a form and downloading a file breaks that flow. With the assistant connected, you describe what you need where you already are and the code or card appears in the same chat.

It also makes the numbers easier to get at. “Which of my codes got the most scans this month?” is a one-line question to an assistant and a five-click journey in most dashboards.

  • Dynamic by default. Every QR code the assistant creates can be edited later, so a wrong link is a two-second fix rather than a reprint.
  • Same account, same limits. The assistant uses your plan exactly as the dashboard does. Nothing bypasses your limits and everything shows up in your dashboard immediately.
  • Every action is logged. The server records which app did what and when, so an admin can always answer “who created this?”

Sign in, or use an API key?

If you are a person using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code, sign in. It is faster, there is nothing to copy, and you can revoke it from a list. If you are running something unattended — a script, a CI job, an internal agent that has no browser — create an API key under Settings → Developer API and send it as a bearer token to the same URL. Both routes give the assistant the same tools.
