Summary
This is a radically simplified Shortcut API wrapper deployed on Cloudflare Workers that collapses 52 tools into 10 actions, cutting token overhead by 96%. You get search, get, update, comment, create, plus helpers for workflows, members, and projects. The author ships it as a public endpoint you hit via streamable HTTP, but you provide your own API token in headers. If you're managing Shortcut stories from Claude and don't want to burn thousands of tokens on tool definitions, this is the lightweight option. You can also fork and deploy your own Workers instance if you prefer self hosting.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Usage with Claude
You must provide your own Shortcut API token. Get one at: https://app.shortcut.com/settings/account/api-tokens
Add to your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shortcut": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://streamshortcut.staycek.workers.dev/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-Shortcut-Token": "your-token-here"
}
}
}
}
Or set the SHORTCUT_API_TOKEN environment variable and use:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shortcut": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://streamshortcut.staycek.workers.dev/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-Shortcut-Token": "${SHORTCUT_API_TOKEN}"
}
}
}
}
Deploy Your Own (Optional)
If you prefer to self-host:
-
Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/stayce/streamshortcut-cloudflare cd streamshortcut-cloudflare npm install -
Deploy:
npm run deploy
No server-side secrets needed — users always provide their own token.
