How to use
MCP Linker is a desktop application that connects your AI clients to a built-in marketplace of MCP servers and configurations. It provides a centralized GUI to browse, preview, and install MCP server configurations to supported clients, enabling you to drop in new capabilities without direct LLM calls. The app detects your environment (Python, Node.js, uv/virtual environments) and lets you push selected MCP servers to your target clients with a few clicks. Use the Marketplace to explore 600+ curated MCP servers, then use the Add or Get actions to install and apply the server configuration to your chosen AI client, such as Codex CLI-based workflows, VS Code integrations, or other desktop clients supported by MCP Linker.
How to install

Additional notes
Tips and common issues:
- Ensure your AI clients (e.g., Codex CLI, VS Code, or other supported apps) are installed and accessible on your system before adding MCP servers.
- If you encounter environment-detection issues, verify that Python, Node.js, or uv environments are properly installed and available on your PATH.
- Some MCP servers require a paid plan for cloud sync features; verify your subscription status in the Pro plan section of MCP Linker.
- If the marketplace shows network errors, check your internet connection or retry after signing in to your account.
