Getting Your API Key

  1. Create a Linkup account for free at app.linkup.so
  2. Copy the API key from your dashboard

Remote MCP Server (recommended)

The hosted Linkup MCP server uses the Streamable HTTP transport. If your client supports remote HTTP MCP servers, you can reference the hosted endpoint directly.

If your client supports custom HTTP headers, prefer sending your API key in Authorization: Bearer LINKUP_API_KEY instead of putting it in the URL. The ?apiKey=... query parameter remains supported for clients that cannot send custom headers.
