The Linkup MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Linkup account. It provides structured and secure access to web search, webpage content, response generation, and account credit information, so your agent can research topics, find relevant sources, retrieve webpage content, generate responses, and check available credits on your behalf.

• Focused web research: Have your agent search the web for relevant results and insights about a topic, question, company, or recent event.
• Webpage content retrieval: Direct your agent to fetch a webpage from a given URL and return its content in a readable markdown format.
• Source-based analysis: Let the agent search for useful sources, retrieve selected pages, and use their content to support further analysis.
• Response generation: Instruct your agent to generate a response through Linkup using an OpenAI-compatible request.
• Credit balance checks: Have your agent retrieve your current Linkup credits balance before running more searches or fetching webpages.
