MCP Barcode in Claude.ai and Claude Desktop connectors

QR codes and barcodes drawn locally: SEPA payment codes, WiFi, vCard, Code 128, EAN-13. It draws a QR code from text or a URL, a WiFi join code, a vCard, an EPC069-12 SEPA payment code checked against the shared business profile's IBAN, and Code 128, EAN-13, EAN-8 or UPC-A with the check digit computed or verified. No network call of any kind.

SVG still comes back inline, since it is text, but PNG becomes a one-hour download link instead of a path on disk, and invoice_payment_qr reads the IBAN from the same shared business profile behind the token that the invoice connector already wrote.

What you get

You sayTool
Make a QR code for this URL.qr_create
Put a payment QR code on invoice INV-2026-0007.invoice_payment_qr
Give this SKU a Code 128 barcode.barcode_create

The first Code 128 table transcription was missing one row, silently shifting 67 of 107 values to their neighbour: a clean-looking barcode that scanned as the wrong string. Comparing against an independent encoder caught it; every table is now pinned against that comparison in the test suite.

Connect it, no install

https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect mints an anonymous token and prints a URL per server, including this one, shaped like https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/barcode/t/<token>. That URL works with no headers: the token is in the path, not in an Authorization field this form does not have.

  1. Open https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect and copy the URL printed for MCP Barcode.
  2. There is no config file here: the Add custom connector form asks for a name and a Remote MCP server URL, with an Advanced settings section for an optional OAuth Client ID and Client Secret.
  3. Paste the URL as the Remote MCP server URL. Leave the optional OAuth Client ID and Client Secret blank; this endpoint does not use them.
  4. Click Connect, then turn the connector on for a conversation from the + button, Connectors.

Idle anonymous tokens are swept after 30 days. Since this route has no filesystem, a file MCP Barcode generates comes back as a download link that expires after one hour. A Pro key can replace the token in the same URL and removes the free-tier limits.

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop connectors notes worth knowing first

On an individual Pro or Max plan you add the connector yourself from Customize, Connectors. On Team and Enterprise it is the other way round: only an Owner or Primary Owner can add a custom connector, at Organization settings, Connectors, and members then connect to what the Owner added rather than pasting their own URL.

Free: 20 codes a calendar month, every symbology and QR kind, SVG output. Pro is $19 once, verified offline, and binds to the token after checkout.

Questions

Does this need OAuth?

No. Add custom connector offers an Advanced settings section with an OAuth Client ID and Client Secret, but the connect-by-URL route does not use it. Leave both blank: the token in the URL path is what authenticates.

I am on a Team or Enterprise plan and cannot add a connector.

That is documented, not a bug: on Team and Enterprise, only an Owner or Primary Owner can add a custom connector, at Organization settings, Connectors, Add, Custom, Web. After that, members connect to the URL the Owner added from Customize, Connectors.

Can I use my Pro key instead of the free anonymous token?

Yes. The token segment of the URL from /mcp/connect can be replaced with a Pro key, which removes the free-tier limits on MCP Barcode for that connector.

Why did a generated file come back as a link instead of opening?

The connector runs server-side with no filesystem of its own, so any file MCP Barcode produces is handed back as a download link that expires after one hour, rather than a path on disk.
