VS Code LinkupAPI search_social_profiles
How to: VS Code LinkupAPI search_social_profiles
Add LinkupAPI to VS Code
-
01
Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"servers": {
"linkupapi": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.linkupapi.com/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.
-
03
Ask for something search_social_profiles does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls search_social_profiles itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that LinkupAPI's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs
Same tool, other clients
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
