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 enterprise-grade web search and natural language answering, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving relevant information, answering questions, summarizing sources, and surfacing insights from the web on your behalf.

• Natural language question answering: Ask your agent complex or open-ended questions and get concise, sourced natural language answers pulled from web data.
• Structured web search and insights retrieval: Let your agent perform deep searches on any topic and return structured insights, detailed summaries, or raw search results as needed.
• Source-backed information synthesis: Get responses that include not just answers but citations to the original web sources, making it easy to verify and explore further.
• Customizable search depth and output: Have the agent adjust search precision, control answer format (summary, structured, or detailed search results), and even include images if your use case needs them.
