Link MCP Server

local only

Link runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 945 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 26 Oct 2026.

Local personal memory for agents as MCP tools — remember, recall, search, context, graph traversal.

What the code does

We read the source, 6 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] link_cli.py:1, [пакет] serve.py:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
    return os.path.isdir(os.path.join(hub, folder))
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Link and you get told the day something new turns up.

Link — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Link?
Link runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package link-mcp was installed 945 times last week.
How do I connect Link?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls link-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Link?
The pypi package link-mcp was installed 945 times in the last week. Week over week that is +330%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Link open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 219 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
