Unwrap a short link before you open it.

00 · Preflight

Paste a short link or any https URL. We unwrap it, then say fetch or skip. We do not return the page.

Agent · MCP

Paste this into Cursor or Claude MCP settings. After that, the agent calls preflight_url before it opens a short link. One install — then the bot hits you.

01 · Your hop

/h/first

Opens a Wikipedia page about redirects. We count the click, not the destination.

02 · Paste it somewhere you already are

1. APost it on X

   Opens a draft with the hop already in it. Post. Crawlers and people both count.

   Open X

2. BText it

   Send the hop to yourself or one person. When they tap it, you get a hit.

   Open messages

3. CEmail it

   A draft with the hop in the body. One send is enough to start.

   Open mail

Did it work?

A new line here means the request was counted.

Later · if you have a page

Skip this if you don’t. A 1×1 pixel on a site or in an email is the same idea — the client fetches it without anyone clicking.
