whamlink for AI agents

Q: How does an AI agent share a generated HTML page as a link?

One call: POST https://whamlink.com/v1/publish with the HTML and an API key returns a permanent rendered URL. Or use the MCP server (npx whamlink-mcp) from any MCP-capable agent.

Q: Is there an MCP server for publishing shareable links?

Yes — whamlink-mcp on npm. It exposes publish, list, access-control, replace, and delete tools over stdio.

Q: Can the agent update a link it already published?

Yes — replace the content via PUT /v1/docs/:id/content and the URL stays the same. Old cached copies are invalidated immediately.

Agents generate reports, dashboards, and documents all day — then hit a wall at "…and send me a link." whamlink is that missing last step: a publish endpoint any agent can call.

Three ways to wire it up

1. MCP server (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, any MCP client)

npx whamlink-mcp

Tools: publish_link, list_links, set_link_access, replace_link_content, delete_link. Auth via WHAMLINK_API_KEY.

2. Plain REST — works from anything

POST https://whamlink.com/v1/publish   (header: x-api-key: wl_...)
{"mode":"sandboxed_html","content":"<h1>Q2 report</h1>...","title":"Q2 Report"}
→ 201 { "url": "https://whamlink.com/aB3xY9kQ" }

3. Claude skill

Install the whamlink skill and Claude publishes on your behalf, with your consent.

Why agents specifically

Self-describing API — registration returns a _setup payload; /llms.txt is the machine-readable reference. An agent can onboard itself.
Replace in place — PUT /v1/docs/:id/content keeps the URL stable while content updates, so "keep my dashboard current" is one recurring call. Caches bust instantly.
Access control from the publish call — visibility: "password" and the link is gated before it ever exists publicly.
Sandboxed rendering — published HTML runs on an isolated origin with a strict CSP, so an agent can't accidentally publish something that snoops on viewers.
Rich link previews — every link gets a branded preview card in iMessage, Slack, and social.
