MCP server

The LinkFetch MCP server lets any MCP-aware client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, Zed — use LinkFetch as a native tool.

One-click: Claude Desktop

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkfetch": {
      "url": "https://mcp.linkfetch.io",
      "transport": "http",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude. You should see linkfetch in the tools drawer.

Local MCP bridge (with Chrome extension)

If you want private-profile access, install the optional Chrome extension — it exposes a local MCP server on 127.0.0.1:7878 so Claude can read only profiles you are already signed in to.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkfetch-local": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:7878",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

The Chrome extension reads the profile DOM from your own session and forwards the normalized record to LinkFetch so we can debit credits, cache repeat lookups, and honour suppression / DSR requests. Your LinkedIn session cookie never leaves your browser.
