Redirectly MCP Server: Use AI Editors to Build Deep Links

What is MCP and Why It Matters

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new standard that enables AI models to connect with tools, services, and data sources. MCP transforms AI editors from simple code assistants into powerful development platforms where AI can directly access external tools without leaving your editor.

Before MCP, if you wanted AI to help with deep linking, you'd need to manually copy API calls, run commands separately, or constantly switch between tools. Now, with MCP servers, AI editors can:

• Generate deep links with a simple natural language prompt
• Validate AASA and assetlinks.json configurations
• Create referral and marketing campaign links
• Integrate link generation into your development workflow

This is "vibe coding"—building software by conversing with AI while having access to real tools that execute actual work.

Redirectly is the First Deep Linking MCP Server

Redirectly's MCP server is the first tool of its kind for deep linking. While other platforms require navigating dashboards or APIs, Redirectly brings deep linking into your AI editor where you're already writing code.

With Redirectly's MCP server, you can:

Getting Started with Cursor (Most Popular AI Editor)

Cursor is the most popular AI-powered code editor. Here's how to set up Redirectly's MCP server:

npm install -g @redirectly/mcp-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redirectly": {
      "command": "redirectly-mcp-server",
      "args": ["--api-key", "your_api_key_here"]
    }
  }
}

Example Session: Building a Referral Deep Link with AI

Here's how a typical vibe coding session looks with Redirectly MCP:

{
  "success": true,
  "link": "https://example.com/r/john_friend_2024",
  "customCode": "JOHN_FRIEND_2024",
  "deepLinks": {
    "iOS": "myapp://referral?code=JOHN_FRIEND_2024",
    "android": "myapp://referral?code=JOHN_FRIEND_2024"
  }
}

// Marketing campaign deep link
const productLaunchLink = {
  url: "https://example.com/launch",
  ios: "myapp://launch?campaign=product_launch",
  android: "myapp://launch?campaign=product_launch"
};

export const campaignLinks = {
  email: productLaunchLink.url,
  social: productLaunchLink.url
};

The entire process—generating deep links, getting the code, and integrating it into your project—happens without leaving Cursor. This is the power of MCP-enabled development.

Supported AI Editors

Redirectly's MCP server works with all major AI-powered editors:

Setup instructions are similar across all editors. Refer to the specific editor's MCP documentation for detailed configuration steps.

Real-World Use Cases

Here's how teams use Redirectly's MCP server:

Advanced Workflow: Vibe Coding a Referral System

Here's an advanced example of vibe coding with Redirectly MCP:

You: "Build a referral system with deep links for user alice@example.com"

Cursor:
- Calls create_referral_link API
- Returns referral link and deep link formats
- Inserts working code into your file

You: "Validate our AASA configuration"

Cursor:
- Checks AASA file
- Reports issues and fixes
- Updates configuration

You: "Create tests for 10 referral links"

Cursor:
- Generates test data
- Creates test assertions
- Ready to run
