Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Linkup every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Linkup — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Linkup working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 438 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Linkup?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Linkup need an API key?
No. Linkup completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Linkup?
It answers our handshake in 438 ms on average, which is faster than 28% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
