Your CMS agent converts "Héllo Wörld — A Guide!" to a URL slug and produces "hello-world-a-guide" but misses the dash before "a" or double-encodes special characters. Slugification has specific rules for Unicode, whitespace, and special characters. These tools handle all edge cases.
All URL/Slug Tools (14)
Your agent gets access to 14 url/slug tools via the /mcp/slug/ endpoint. Here's the complete list:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
slug/slugify | Slugify |
slug/deslugify | Deslugify |
slug/is-valid-slug | Is Valid Slug |
slug/url-encode | Url Encode |
slug/url-decode | Url Decode |
slug/parse-url | Parse Url |
slug/build-url | Build Url |
slug/normalize-url | Normalize Url |
slug/extract-domain | Extract Domain |
slug/is-valid-url | Is Valid Url |
slug/join-path | Join Path |
slug/add-query-param | Add Query Param |
slug/remove-query-param | Remove Query Param |
slug/filename-safe | Filename Safe |
Agent Scenarios
Here's how real agents use these tools:
1. CMS publishing agent
A content agent generates URL slugs from article titles, handling Unicode and special characters correctly.
slug/slugify
{ "text": "10 Tips & Tricks for Better Code!" }2. E-commerce agent
A product catalog agent creates clean product URLs from product names with proper character handling.
slug/slugify
{ "text": "Café Latte — Grande (16oz)" }MCP Setup
Add url/slug tools to your agent in under 2 minutes. Choose your client:
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Add this to your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tinyfn-slug": {
"url": "https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/slug/",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}Cursor
Go to Settings > MCP and add a new server:
- Type: SSE
- URL:
https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/slug/sse - Headers:
X-API-Key: your-api-key
Tip: Use the category-specific endpoint (/mcp/slug/) for the best experience. The all-in-one endpoint (/mcp/all/) works too but has 500+ tools which some clients handle less efficiently.
When to Use These Tools
Use url/slug MCP tools when your agent needs to:
- Guarantee correctness — when wrong answers have real consequences
- Process user data — when you're operating on actual user input, not hypothetical examples
- Maintain consistency — when the same input must always produce the same output
You don't need these tools for casual conversation or rough estimates. Use them when precision matters.

What makes slugification tricky for LLMs?
Slugification involves Unicode normalization, accent stripping, special character removal, whitespace collapsing, and consistent hyphenation. LLMs may handle simple cases but fail on edge cases with accented characters or unusual punctuation.
Does TinyFn handle non-Latin characters?
Yes. TinyFn properly transliterates accented characters (é→e, ü→u) and handles CJK characters, producing clean ASCII slugs from any input.
