Linkup's official MCP server provides natural-language web search (standard or deep), webpage fetching with optional JavaScript rendering, and long-running deep research tasks. The recommended setup is Linkup's remote server, authenticated with a Linkup API key as a bearer token or URL parameter; a local npx server and an MCP bundle are also available.
