MCP support
Exposes merchant-scoped Qrblox tools to MCP clients over a remote JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint. API-key authentication is used for account tools, and creation actions are draft-first.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project READMEQrblox MCP
The Model Context Protocol server for Qrblox — let any MCP-aware AI agent generate and manage QR codes, audio codes, menus, and loyalty campaigns.
📚 Full reference: docs.qrblox.com/mcp.html
🌐 Endpoint: https://app.qrblox.com/api/mcp
🔑 Mint a key: create.qrblox.com/settings/api-keys
🟢 No-key sandbox: POST https://app.qrblox.com/api/generate-qr-code
This is a public, README-only repo. The MCP server itself is deployed at the endpoint above; the canonical docs live at docs.qrblox.com/mcp.html.
What is it?
qrblox-mcp is a JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP server. Point Claude Desktop,
Cursor, Codex, or any MCP client at https://app.qrblox.com/api/mcp,
paste in a sk-qrblox- key, and the assistant can immediately draft QR
codes (and audio codes, menus, and loyalty campaigns) and read scan
analytics on a merchant workspace.
Every code created via the MCP lives on the caller's Qrblox account alongside codes made from the iOS, Android, Canva, and web surfaces.
Quick start
1. Try it free (no signup, no OAuth)
curl -X POST https://app.qrblox.com/api/generate-qr-code \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://example.com"}'
Returns:
{
"ok": true,
"code": {
"codeId": "…",
"destinationUrl": "https://example.com",
"qrImage": "data:image/png;base64,…", // inline PNG
"qrImageUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/…", // hosted PNG
"claimToken": "…",
"expiresAt": "…"
},
"upgrade": { "signup": "https://app.qrblox.com", "apiKeys": "https://create.qrblox.com/settings/api-keys" }
}
Sandbox limits: 3 codes / IP / day, codes expire in 7 days.
2. Mint an API key
Sign in to create.qrblox.com →
Settings → API keys → New API key. Keys are
sk-qrblox-<64 hex chars>, shown once, and revocable anytime.
3. Connect Claude Desktop
// ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"qrblox": {
"url": "https://app.qrblox.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk-qrblox-..."
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. Then ask: "Generate a QR code for https://my-spring-menu.com."
4. Or Cursor / Codex / curl
Same URL, same Authorization header.
# tools/list — no auth required
curl -X POST https://app.qrblox.com/api/mcp \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
# tools/call — create a code on your account
curl -X POST https://app.qrblox.com/api/mcp \
-H 'authorization: Bearer sk-qrblox-...' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":"qrblox.qr.create",
"arguments":{"title":"Spring menu",
"destinationUrl":"https://qrblox.com/menu/spring"}}}'

Errors
| HTTP / JSON-RPC | Meaning |
|---|---|
400 / -32600 | Invalid JSON-RPC 2.0 request. |
401 / -32001 | Missing or invalid key. data.code = NO_AUTH / INVALID_API_KEY / INVALID_TOKEN. |
403 / -32001 | Key revoked (data.code = REVOKED). |
200 / -32601 | Unsupported method. |
200 / -32602 | Unknown tool. |
200 / -32000 | Tool handler threw — read error.message. |
Security model
- Merchant-scoped — every API key is tied to one merchant workspace and one owner uid; tools can't reach another merchant's data.
- Hashed keys — plaintext shown once; Firestore stores only a SHA-256 hash and a short prefix.
- Audited — every tool call writes an audit entry with the caller, tool name, and status. Arguments and results are not persisted.
- Draft-first — creation tools produce drafts; publishing, billing, and destructive changes stay with the merchant.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
