Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 2 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Linkup works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Linkup to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 2 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Linkup, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Linkup. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Linkup owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical users who need to bridge the gap between LLMs and the live web.

    RAG Developers

    You use this to provide agents with real-time web access and precise document retrieval.

  • 02

    AI and ML Engineers

    You use this to automate the collection of high-quality web content for model evaluation and fine-tuning.

  • 03

    Market Researchers

    You use this to perform large-scale data collection without writing custom scraping scripts.

FAQ

Questions Linkup owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP handle websites with heavy JavaScript?

    The fetch_url capability automatically executes complex SPA JavaScript loops to ensure it can see the same content a human browser would.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    What is the difference between fast and deep search?

    Fast search is optimized for quick factual queries, while deep search is designed for thorough, comprehensive research.

  • 04

    Does this replace my existing web scraper?

    It acts as a more intelligent alternative that handles bot protection and returns clean, LLM-ready text instead of raw HTML.

  • 05

    How do I get my data into a vector store?

    The MCP returns structured payloads with titles, snippets, and URLs that are designed to be integrated into RAG pipelines.

  • 06

    How can Linkup help my agent provide more up-to-date answers?

    Use the linkup_search capability to give your agent access to live web data. By performing semantic searches across the internet, your agent can retrieve the latest news, reports, and documentation, grounding its answers in current facts.

  • 07

    Can I extract clean text from a specific URL for RAG?

    Yes. The linkup_fetch capability is specifically designed for content extraction. It renders the target page and returns a clean text version stripped of navigation and ads, making it ideal for feeding high-quality context to your agent.

  • 08

    What is the difference between standard and deep search modes?

    Standard search focuses on rapid fact-finding and top results. Deep search performs a more comprehensive crawl across many more sources, which is better for complex research tasks that require diverse perspectives and detailed data.
