Inject real-time search directly into your code

The `search_web` tool pulls live search results directly into your active Cursor editor session. Instead of writing code with outdated mock data, your agent pulls actual API specs or library updates from the web in real-time. Stop writing code with outdated mock data. Your agent grabs the actual, live API specs from the web and writes the implementation correctly on the first try.

Read documentation pages without leaving Cursor

The `fetch_url` tool downloads the clean content of any web page directly into your Cursor composer or chat. It bypasses aggressive bot detection and executes JavaScript loops to ensure you get the actual text of modern web apps. Instead of getting blocked by anti-bot scripts, you get clean markdown injected straight into your composer. No ads, no navigation menus, just the raw code examples you actually need.

Build a live RAG pipeline using this Cursor MCP Server

The Linkup MCP Server turns your Cursor composer into a live research agent. By adding this server to your Cursor MCP config, the editor can search the web and fetch pages autonomously while drafting your code. Let's be real, switching between your editor and Chrome is a massive speed killer. This integration keeps you in flow state, letting your agent fetch solutions directly inside your workspace.

Common questions about Linkup (AI Search & RAG) MCP in Cursor

Add the server entry to your project's Cursor MCP configuration file. Once added, enable Agent mode in your Cursor chat, and the agent will automatically call the search and fetch tools when you ask questions about external APIs.

Yes, because the search tool pulls live results from the web. When Cursor uses this tool, it bypasses its offline training cutoff to read the latest release notes and write accurate code.

Yes, paste your error log into Cursor and ask it to find a solution. The agent will run web searches to locate GitHub issues or StackOverflow threads containing the exact same error message.

When Cursor needs to understand a complex technical concept, it triggers the deep search mode. This queries multiple sources and compiles a synthesized answer, giving your agent richer context for writing code.

Your API tokens are managed securely via Vinkius, meaning Cursor never stores them locally. The fetched URL content and web searches run through an encrypted, isolated memory space and get deleted instantly upon request completion.
