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
- checkbrokenlinks: scan a URL (or sitemap) and return a structured broken-link report
- monitor_links: set up recurring monitoring for a website
- getfixsuggestions: 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 LINKRESCUEDEMOMODE=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 checklinks, startsitescan, getscan and getfixsuggestions. 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
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 — that page is the single source of truth. Install on MCPize.
