New IDE tool generates custom QR codes via AI assistants

A developer has created an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows users to generate custom QR codes directly within their IDEs, such as Cursor and Claude Desktop. This tool eliminates the need to switch applications or use potentially spammy online generators, offering high-resolution QR codes in various formats like SVG, with options for custom shapes and embedded logos.
