README
An MCP server for QR Forge — create and manage trackable QR codes (links, files, Wi-Fi, WhatsApp, phone, email) straight from an AI agent. It's a thin client over the public QR Forge REST API; it stores nothing and authenticates with your QR Forge API token.
Get a token at https://qrforge.work/api/keys.
Two ways to use it
1. Local (stdio) — install and run on your machine
uvx qrforge-mcp # or: pipx install qrforge-mcp
Add it to your MCP client (Claude Desktop / Claude Code) — claude_desktop_config.json
or .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"qrforge": {
"command": "qrforge-mcp",
"env": { "QRFORGE_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here" }
}
}
}
Or with Claude Code's CLI:
claude mcp add qrforge --env QRFORGE_API_TOKEN=your-token-here -- qrforge-mcp
Environment variables:
| Var | Required | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
QRFORGE_API_TOKEN |
yes (local) | — | Your QR Forge API token |
QRFORGE_API_URL |
no | https://qrforge.work |
API base URL |
2. Hosted — connect to our server, no install
The hosted server runs at https://mcp.qrforge.work/mcp/. Pass your token in the
X-QRForge-Token header:
claude mcp add --transport http qrforge https://mcp.qrforge.work/mcp/ \
--header "X-QRForge-Token: your-token-here"
The hosted server sits behind Cloudflare, which strips the
Authorizationheader on streaming requests — so useX-QRForge-Tokenfor the hosted endpoint. (Authorization: Bearer <token>still works for local/self-hosted instances.)
The hosted server is stateless and multi-user: it forwards each request's token to the API and never stores it.

style (optional, on create/render/update) is an object with keys module_drawer
(square|rounded|circle|gapped|vertical_bars|horizontal_bars), fill_type
(solid|radial|horizontal|vertical), fill_color, fill_color_2, back_color (hex).
File tools accept the file via file_path (local), file_url (server downloads it),
or file_base64 — up to 50 MB.
Develop
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -q
Run the hosted server locally:
qrforge-mcp --http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001 # streamable-HTTP at /mcp/
# or stdio:
