What is tny.dev?
tny.dev is a modern, API-first link shortener built from the ground up for AI agents and automated systems. Unlike traditional link shorteners that require manual interaction, tny.dev exposes a RESTful API designed to be consumed programmatically by AI agents, bots, and server-side applications. This makes it an ideal companion for AI agents that need to generate trackable short links as part of their responses or data processing.
The service fully supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling seamless integration with agentic frameworks. Agents can dynamically create short links, attach metadata, set expiration, and retrieve analytics—all through a single API endpoint. The API is designed with developer experience in mind, featuring clear documentation, fast response times, and robust error handling.
Key capabilities include: rapid link shortening with custom slugs, bulk operations, click analytics (including referrer, device, and geographic data), link expiration and password protection, and webhooks for real-time event notifications. The dashboard also provides a human-friendly interface for monitoring and management, though the primary interaction remains API-driven.
Pricing starts at $9 per month, which includes 1,000 active links and 10,000 clicks, with higher tiers for scaling. The service is ideal for AI developers, SaaS products, and automation pipelines that require reliable, low-latency link management without manual overhead. Whether you're building a conversational AI, an autonomous agent, or a workflow automation tool, tny.dev provides the infrastructure to handle links at scale.
