# Create shared link

> Create a shared link to the dashboard under Visibility in the site settings. Input schema, a tools/call example and an example result.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/plausible/create_shared_link

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Create a shared link to the dashboard under Visibility in the site settings.

Plausible MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/plausible.md

MCP tool: `plausible_write → create_shared_link`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Returns the new link. Anyone with the link sees the dashboard without a Plausible account, and only that site. With a segment, viewers can add filters but cannot remove the segment. Shared-link viewers do not count toward your team member limit. The link goes to other people. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `site` | string | yes | Domain of the site as the Sites page lists it, e.g. acme-shop.example. |
| `name` | string | yes | Label for your own reference. Viewers do not see it. |
| `password` | string | no | Optional. Viewers must enter it. It can only be set now, not read or changed later. |
| `segment` | string | no | Optional. Name of a site segment to lock the shared dashboard to. Personal segments are not allowed. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
