Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add linkrescue --env LINKRESCUE_API_BASE_URL=your-value --env LINKRESCUE_API_KEY=your-value -- uvx linkrescue-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Common questions

Is Linkrescue MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LINKRESCUE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

LinkRescue MCP Server

Find broken affiliate links fast, prioritize by impact, and generate fix suggestions your AI agent can act on.

One call. 38+ affiliate networks checked. Silent tracking failures caught.

One-click install: Install on MCPize | pip install linkrescue-mcp

LinkRescue MCP exposes broken-link scanning, monitoring, and remediation workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so tools like Claude and Cursor can run link-health operations directly.

What You Get

check_broken_links: scan a URL (or sitemap) and return a structured broken-link report
monitor_links: set up recurring monitoring for a website
get_fix_suggestions: generate prioritized remediation recommendations
health_check: verify MCP server and backend API connectivity

If the LinkRescue backend API is unreachable, tools raise an error naming the endpoint they could not reach. They never return invented findings. For local testing, set LINKRESCUE_DEMO_MODE=1 to get sample data — every simulated payload carries "simulated": true and an explicit warning.

Hosted endpoint (no install)

LinkRescue runs a remote MCP server at `https://www.linkrescue.io/api/mcp` (streamable HTTP). Get a free API key at linkrescue.io/signup, then point any remote-capable MCP client at it:

"mcpServers": { "linkrescue": { "url": "https://www.linkrescue.io/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lr_your_api_key" } } } }

The hosted server exposes check_links, start_site_scan, get_scan and get_fix_suggestions. It never returns simulated data. The stdio package below is for local and offline use.

Quick Start

"mcpServers": { "linkrescue": { "command": "linkrescue-mcp" } } }

Then ask your AI agent:

"Scan example.com for broken affiliate links"

Free vs Pro

Tool	Free	Pro	Agency
`health_check`	Yes	Yes	Yes
`check_broken_links` (up to 50 pages)	Yes	Yes	Yes
`check_broken_links` (up to 2,000 pages)	-	Yes	Yes
`check_broken_links` (unlimited + sitemap crawl)	-	-	Yes
`get_fix_suggestions`	-	Yes	Yes
`monitor_links` (daily)	-	Yes	Yes
`monitor_links` (hourly + webhooks)	-	-	Yes
Multi-site monitoring	-	5 sites	25 sites

Free tier gives you single-page broken-link checks. Pro unlocks the full crawler + fix suggestions + recurring monitoring. Agency adds hourly checks, webhooks, and unlimited site count.

Current pricing lives at [linkrescue.io/pricing](https://www.linkrescue.io/pricing) — that page is the single source of truth. Install on MCPize.

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "linkrescue": { "command": "linkrescue-mcp" } } }

Claude Code

claude mcp add linkrescue --transport http http://localhost:8000/mcp

Try It

fastmcp list-tools main.py

fastmcp call-tool main.py health_check '{}' fastmcp call-tool main.py check_broken_links '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

Tool Inputs and Outputs

`check_broken_links`

Inputs:

url (required): site URL to scan
sitemap_url (optional, Agency tier): crawl from sitemap
max_depth (optional, default 3): crawl depth

Returns scan metadata, broken-link details, and summary statistics. Affiliate links that resolve but have lost their tracking parameters are reported as exposure — a count of links that earn nothing when clicked. LinkRescue does not estimate lost revenue; multiply by your own RPM.

`monitor_links`

Inputs:

url (required)
frequency_hours (optional, default 24; Agency tier supports 1)

Returns monitoring ID, schedule details, and status. Free tier returns a simulated monitor (no persistence).

`get_fix_suggestions`

Input:

full report from check_broken_links, or
raw broken_links array, or
JSON string of either format

Returns prioritized actions and suggested remediation steps. Pro and Agency tiers only.

`health_check`

No input. Returns server status and backend API reachability.
