LinkPilot Overview

LinkPilot MCP server lets AI assistants create one-time secret URLs and tracked short links through LinkPilot. Secret text is encrypted locally with AES-GCM-256 before the service receives it, while the decryption key stays in the URL fragment. Use it when an assistant is already handling a credential and needs to deliver it without leaving the plaintext in chat, email, or tickets. The server also provides link metadata, revocation, account usage, and rate-limit information.
