# Native qURL™ tools in any MCP client.

Let MCP-compatible agents create, resolve, list, and manage qURLs without custom integration code.

[Install the MCP server](https://github.com/layervai/qurl-mcp) [Read the docs](https://layerv.ai/docs/)

## The usual way to do this is leaky

Reaching a private resource from MCP usually means one of these workarounds — each of which leaves something standing that shouldn’t be.

- Hand-writing REST calls in every agent to mint and resolve links
- Long-lived API keys baked into agent configs
- Custom glue code to list, revoke, and refresh access

## Verify the requester, then open one private route

Requester

A MCP user or agent asks for access to a private resource.

LayerV

Identity and policy are verified before anything becomes reachable.

Private resource

Connected to LayerV with no public inbound path of its own.

Temporary route

A single-use, identity-bound qURL™ opens for the approved requester, then expires.

## Real code you can run today

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qurl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@layervai/qurl-mcp"],
      "env": { "QURL_API_KEY": "lv_live_xxx" }
    }
  }
}
```

## From zero to first access

1. Get an API key  
Create a key with the qurl:read, qurl:write, and qurl:resolve scopes.
2. Add the server to your MCP client  
Drop \`npx @layervai/qurl-mcp\` into your mcpServers config — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.
3. Use the tools natively  
The agent calls create\_qurl, resolve\_qurl, list\_qurls, and more — no custom integration code.
4. Resolve to reach the target  
resolve\_qurl redeems a single-use token and opens network access for a short grant.
