claude mcp add --transport http linkupplatform-linkup-mcp-server https://server.smithery.ai/@LinkupPlatform/linkup-mcp-server/mcpWhat LinkupPlatform-linkup-mcp-server does
This server integrates real-time web retrieval into MCP clients. It exposes linkup-search for immediate queries, alongside linkup-research and linkup-get-research for longer multi-source investigations. The search mode accepts a standard setting for direct answers and a deep setting for synthesis across multiple articles.
Queries can be restricted by publication intervals via fromDate and toDate, or confined to chosen sites using includeDomains and excludeDomains. The scraper extracts text, pulls associated images, and optionally renders client-side JavaScript for complex layouts.
Requests will fail without a valid Linkup API key created at app.linkup.so. The server connects either remotely via Streamable HTTP or locally through npx.
What it helps with
- retrieve fresh data and breaking news from online sources
- run multi-step research tasks across diverse websites
- extract page content and media with JavaScript rendering enabled
- restrict search outcomes to specific domains and publication windows
