Use Link in Seconds in ChatGPT

Add Link in Seconds to ChatGPT as a plugin, sign in once, and ask ChatGPT to turn files into shareable links and show their analytics.

Add Link in Seconds to ChatGPT once and you can ask it to turn a file into a shareable link, list your links or show how a link performed, right in the chat. You sign in with your Link in Seconds account. There is no API key to copy.

  1. Open Plugins in ChatGPT

    On chatgpt.com, click Plugins in the left sidebar. This is the main Plugins page, not the one inside Settings.

  2. Add a custom MCP server

    Click Add at the top right, then Add custom MCP server, and fill in the form:

    FieldValue
    NameLink in Seconds
    DescriptionTurn any file into a shareable link
    ConnectionServer URL: https://linkinseconds.com/api/mcp
    AuthenticationOAuth (leave the advanced OAuth settings as they are)

    Tick I understand and want to continue, then click Create as a plugin. ChatGPT checks the server and finds six tools.

  3. Connect your account

    Click Connect Link in Seconds. A Link in Seconds page opens and asks you to sign in with Google if you aren't already. It shows that ChatGPT wants access and that you go back to chatgpt.com afterwards. Click Allow.

  4. Use it in a chat

    Start a new chat, type @ and pick Link in Seconds, then ask for what you need:

    Text
    Use Link in Seconds to create a link for this text as notes.txt

What you can ask#

  • “Turn this summary into a text file and give me a link I can send.”
  • “Build this as a one-page HTML file and publish it as a link.”
  • “List my latest links.”
  • “Show the analytics for my pricing.pdf link.”
  • “How did my links do in the last 7 days?”

ChatGPT uploads files up to 3 MB straight from the chat, which covers text, Markdown, CSV, HTML pages and most images. For bigger files, upload them on the website and ask ChatGPT about the link afterwards.

What ChatGPT can and can't do#
