Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Linkup

Give your AI assistant web search through your own Linkup account. It can search with a plain question and get a list of sources or an answer with citations, fetch the readable content of a page, start a deep research job, and extract rows such as products or people from a website. It can also check your credit balance.

Try asking

  • “Search the web for recent news about EU e-invoicing rules and give me an answer with sources.”

    The AI runs a Linkup search with a sourced answer as output and returns the answer with citations.

  • “Read this page and summarize it for me.”

    It fetches the page by URL and returns its readable content. For JavaScript-heavy sites it can render the page first.

  • “Research which payroll providers in Denmark offer an API, as a structured list.”

    It starts a deep research job, then checks the job until the result is ready.

What your AI can do

Web search

Search with a natural-language question at flash, fast, standard or deep depth, with date and domain filters, as sources or a sourced answer.

Pages and extraction

Fetch the content of one page, with JavaScript rendering if needed, or extract structured rows from a website with an optional JSON schema.

Deep research

Start research jobs that run in the background, return a sourced answer or structured output, and list past jobs.

  • “Extract all products with name and price from this category page.”

    It starts an extract job on the URL with a description of each row, then reads the extracted rows when the job is done.

  • “Show me my last research jobs.”

    It lists your past research jobs, newest first, and can open the result of one.

  • “How many Linkup credits do I have left?”

    It reads your remaining Linkup credit balance.

Questions

What can the AI do in Linkup?

The AI can search the web, fetch a web page, start deep research jobs and extract jobs, read their results, list past research and extract jobs, and check your credit balance.

Does the AI see my Linkup API key?

No. Your Linkup credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on. Searches, page fetches, research and extract jobs use your Linkup credits, so you can switch off the heavier ones or make them require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. Searches and jobs use credits on your own Linkup account.

What is the difference between search, research and extract?

Search answers a question right away, as a list of sources or an answer with citations. Research starts a longer job in the background that you check with get_research. Extract pulls a list of rows, such as products or listings, from a website you point it at.
