About LinkAce MCP Server
Connect your LinkAce instance to any AI agent to automate your personal knowledge base and link archiving. This MCP server enables your agent to add new bookmarks, organize them into lists and tags, and search your entire library directly from natural language interfaces.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple LinkAce tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Instant Archiving — Quickly add new URLs to your LinkAce library with custom titles and descriptions
- Deep Organization — Create and manage tags and lists to keep your bookmarks categorized and easy to find
- Semantic Discovery — Search through your entire archived library using keywords via natural language commands
