Link MCP Server

Local memory for AI agents. Link gives Codex, Claude, Cursor, Kiro, VS Code, Copilot, Antigravity, and other local agents the same source-backed memory, stored locally as Markdown.

People who work with knowledge base, markdown and obsidian and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

      "args": [
        "link-mcp"
      ]
    }

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package link-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.gowtham0992 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

What is Link?

Local memory for AI agents. Link gives Codex, Claude, Cursor, Kiro, VS Code, Copilot, Antigravity, and other local agents the same source-backed memory, stored locally as Markdown.

Is Link still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-17 and it shipped 9 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
