Integrations
Drive linklight from your AI agent.
linklight ships a first-class MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Connect it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and your agent can find prospects, draft outreach, and prepare campaigns on your behalf. Sending always waits for a manual tap in the linklight UI.
1. Get an API key
Sign in to linklight, go to Settings → API Access and generate a key. Copy it — you'll only see it once.
2. Add it to your client
Add this to your config file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {
"linklight": {
"url": "https://www.lightlinks.dev/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk_ll_PASTE_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Replace sk_ll_PASTE_YOUR_KEY_HERE with a key from above. Restart your client after editing the config.
3. Available tools
search_prospects
Find prospect sites for a keyword (cached SERP + Moz DA).
enrich_domain
Return known facts about a domain — DA, contact email, homepage title/description.
find_email
Look up a contact email for a domain via Hunter.
draft_email
Generate an outreach email draft with a built-in spam score.
save_draft
Save a drafted email against a prospect for you to review. Never sends automatically.

list_backlinks

list_replies

find_similar_prospects
Given a known-good prospect URL, return semantically similar URLs via Exa.ai. Great for 'find me 20 more like this one.'
find_quick_win_keywords
Return keywords ranking on GSC pages 2-3 with impressions — the striking-distance opportunities. Sorted by opportunity score.
find_prospect_gaps
Return prospects in a campaign that are missing a contact email, sorted by Domain Authority.
list_lost_backlinks
Return backlinks that are currently broken, unreachable, or redirected. Optionally filter by since date.
find_competitor_backlinks
Find pages that link to or feature a competitor in roundups / alternatives / vs. articles. Pass my_domain to get only NEW opportunities (domains that don't already link to you).
Try prompting your agent
Find the top 10 prospects for "nextjs seo" with DA ≥ 40. For each, draft a warm personalized email referencing their most recent post, save each draft against the prospect, and show me the spam scores.
I already have one great prospect at https://backlinko.com. Use find_similar_prospects to give me 20 more sites like it, ranked by score.
Show me all lost backlinks from the past 14 days for my main site, grouped by domain, then draft outreach to try to recover the top 5.
Find my quick-win keywords, pick the top 3 by opportunity score, and suggest content-gap articles I could write to move them onto page 1.
What linklight will NOT do
The MCP surface is deliberately narrower than your dashboard capabilities. There is no “send this email” tool and no destructive tools. Anything with real-world consequence stays behind a manual tap in the web app.
- ✗Never sends outreach — save_draft is the closest tool, and it just leaves notes for you to review.
- ✗Never deletes prospects, campaigns, or backlinks.
- ✗Never changes your billing tier or issues refunds.
- ✗Never touches other users' data — every tool is scoped to the caller.
