The Linkup Python MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that delivers web search capabilities through Linkup's advanced search API. It enables AI assistants and development tools to perform intelligent, natural language-driven web searches and retrieve up-to-date content. The server emphasizes real-time information access, comprehensive results, and source citations, making it suitable for applications that require verifiable online information. It is designed to integrate with any MCP-compatible client, simplifying adoption within existing AI tooling and workflows. Note that this Python version is deprecated in favor of an actively maintained TypeScript/Node.js version, with a recommendation to use https://github.com/LinkupPlatform/linkup-mcp-server. The Python version can be run via the command python -m linkup_mcp_server, and requires an API key via the LINKUP_API_KEY environment variable. For integration with Claude Desktop or Cursor, there are specific instructions linked in the documentation. The project emphasizes ease of integration and compatibility with MCP protocols, enabling you to leverage Linkup’s search capabilities in your AI applications.
