Getting Your API Key

1. Create a Linkup account for free at app.linkup.so
2. Copy the API key from your dashboard

Remote MCP Server (recommended)

You can access the MCP server directly through Smithery. From there, you'll be able to install the server into your favorite MCP compatible client. The remote MCP server is using the Streamable HTTP transport.

You can also use the Smithery CLI to install the server into your favorite MCP compatible client.

npx @smithery/cli login # If you haven't already
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install linkup-mcp-server --client <CLIENT_NAME> --config '{"apiKey":<LINKUP_API_KEY>}'

Finally, if your client supports OAuth protocol, you can reference directly the remote MCP server URL. See examples below:

Cursor

In your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file, add the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    // ... other MCP servers
    "linkup": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.linkup.so/mcp?apiKey=LINKUP_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}

VSCode

Add this to your VS Code MCP config file. See VS Code MCP docs for more info.

{
  "servers": {
    // ... other MCP servers
    "linkup": {
      "url": "https://mcp.linkup.so/mcp?apiKey=LINKUP_API_KEY",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}
