Claude Code Linked API get_api_usage

How to: Claude Code Linked API get_api_usage

client:Claude Code transport:streamable-http tool:get_api_usage

Add Linked API to Claude Code

  1. 01

    Run this in your project directory.

claude mcp add --transport http linkedapi-mcp https://mcp.linkedapi.io/mcp
  1. 02

    Restart your session so the server is picked up.

  2. 03

    Ask for something get_api_usage does. Claude Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_api_usage itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Linked API's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Adds it for this project only. Append --scope user to make it available everywhere. Claude Code docs

Set these first

Linked API will not start until these are set, so get_api_usage never becomes available.

  • LINKED_API_TOKEN
  • IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 29 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

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.
