Scanova MCP Server connects an AI assistant to the Scanova QR code platform, letting it create, list, update, retrieve, download, activate, and deactivate dynamic QR codes.

Use it when you want to generate a QR code with a custom URL, list your existing QR codes, update a code's destination URL or name, download the QR code image, or toggle its active status. Simple prompts like "create qr," "make qr code," or "list qr codes" trigger the corresponding tools. Do not use it without a Scanova API key, obtained from app.scanova.io - it's required in the Authorization header for the hosted MCP endpoint.

• create_qr_code: create a new dynamic QR code.
• list_qr_codes: list existing QR codes with pagination.
• update_qr_code: update an existing QR code's URL or name.
• retrieve_qr_code: get detailed information about a specific QR code.
• download_qr_code: download the QR code image in various formats.
• activate_qr_code / deactivate_qr_code: manage a QR code's active status.

Connect to the hosted server (no local deployment required):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scanova-mcp": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.scanova.io/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "YOUR_SCANOVA_API_KEY_HERE" }
    }
  }
}

This same config works for Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Desktop. For local development or self-hosting:

git clone <repository-url>
cd qcg-mcp
uv sync
uv run cloud_server.py

Or via Docker: docker build -t mcpserver:local . && docker run -d --name mcpserver -p 8000:8000 mcpserver:local, or docker compose up -d.

Marketers and developers who want an AI assistant to generate and manage dynamic QR codes - updating destination URLs without reprinting the code - conversationally instead of using the Scanova dashboard.
