Ready to put your QR Code management on autopilot? The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows AI models like Claude to safely interact with external platforms. In just a few minutes, this guide will show you how to securely connect Claude to the our platform. Once set up, you’ll be able to use natural language prompts to pull scan statistics, generate SVG codes inline, or audit your dynamic business cards without ever leaving your AI workspace.
