qURL™ Developer Platform

One API Call. Universal Access.

Turn any application, API, file, MCP server, or private service into an identity-bound qURL accessible by humans and AI agents—without VPNs, login portals, or shared credentials.

  • ✓ Identity-Bound
  • ✓ Single-Use
  • ✓ Invisible by Default
curl -X POST https://api.layerv.ai/v1/qurls \
  -d '{"target_url":"https://internal.example.com"}'

// Response
{ "qurl": "https://qurl.link/..." }

How Universal Access Works

Every Resource Becomes a qURL

One API call creates a secure, identity-bound access path to applications, APIs, files, servers, and MCP services for both humans and AI agents.

The portal never connects to a resource directly — it is bridged through a connector to reach Files, Web Apps, APIs, and Servers.
