How to Mint PDF Tracking Links from ChatGPT

One endpoint serves every MCP client:

https://apdf.io/mcp/main

In ChatGPT, add it as a connector (Settings → Connectors — custom MCP connectors live behind developer mode on plans that support them), sign in when the OAuth window opens, and the Apdf tools appear in the conversation. The same URL works in Claude, Cursor and Gemini — connect them all; the workspace doesn't care who's asking.

The create-document-link tool returns the URL and its metadata — this is the actual payload:

{
    "token": "aLo58OJu",
    "name": "Elif Demir",
    "email": "elif@demirstudio.example",
    "url": "https://docs.apdf.io/studio/688b0-07ba8-42bc4?v=aLo58OJu",
    "is_active": true,
    "last_viewed_at": null,
    "created_at": "2026-07-23T09:17:50.000000Z"
}

That's a real link with everything attached: attribution (Elif's sessions carry her name), analytics (pages, dwell, returns), and a kill switch you'll meet in a moment.

Sharing is the write side's first verb, not its last:

{
    "token": "YGY35sNP",
    "name": "Dana Whitfield",
    "email": "dana@clientco.example",
    "url": "https://docs.apdf.io/studio/4352c-99928-25aa1?v=YGY35sNP",
    "is_active": false,
    "last_viewed_at": null,
    "created_at": "2026-07-23T07:48:05.000000Z"
}
