Linkup Model Context Protocol

This package provides a Model Context Protocol server for integrating Linkup's web search functionality with AI models that support function calling through MCP.

You can check the NPM page here.

Installation & Usage

You can run the Linkup MCP server directly using npx:

npx -y linkup-mcp-server --api-key=YOUR_LINKUP_API_KEY

Alternatively, you can set your API key as an environment variable:

export LINKUP_API_KEY=YOUR_LINKUP_API_KEY
npx -y linkup-mcp-server

Command Line Options

--api-key	Your Linkup API key (required unless LINKUP_API_KEY env is set)

--help, -h	Show help text

Usage with Claude

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json. See the MCP documentation for more details.

To ensure compatibility with Claude, we recommend that npx command be accessible within the same environment. A common location for this is /usr/local/bin/node (on mac)
