Can AI agents automate Bitly?

Bitly is automatable today through the v4 REST API. This record is Bitly link and QR management. Calls go to https://api-ssl.bitly.com. A generic access token is sent as Authorization: Bearer. Acting for another Bitly user uses the OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow: register an app, redirect to https://bitly.com/oauth/authorize, and exchange the code at POST https://api-ssl.bitly.com/oauth/access_token. The opened reference documents bitlinks, QR codes, Bitly Sites, campaigns, groups, organizations, custom domains, and webhooks. POST /v4/shorten creates a bitlink. Webhook configuration is under /v4/webhooks, and a synchronous CSV export endpoint returns link or QR metadata. The same developer site hosts an MCP server at https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/mcp. Bitly says that server exposes the functionality of the API, the website, the Chrome extension, and the mobile app. Recommended MCP auth is OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. Clients without OAuth can send the API token as Authorization: Bearer. The free plan on the homepage includes 5 short links a month. No official SDK or CLI was established on the pages opened. iPaaS catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 8 and is the best path. The MCP scores 7 because the hosted server is official, while the opened quickstart does not list individual tools.
