LinkDigest MCP Server

About LinkDigest

Give it a link to a Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, TikTok, YouTube, Weibo, WeChat article or X post and it returns text an agent can use: timed transcript, on-screen text, image descriptions and key points. Remote MCP over streamable HTTP at https://linkdigest.dev/mcp. Auth: OAuth 2.1 at https://linkdigest.dev/mcp/oauth or an API key header; 2 keyless trial reads per day.

How to connect LinkDigest to Claude, Cursor or VS Code

LinkDigest runs as a hosted remote MCP server at https://linkdigest.dev/mcp. Add that URL to your MCP client's config (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code) and the tools appear immediately, no install required.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkdigest": {
      "url": "https://linkdigest.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http linkdigest https://linkdigest.dev/mcp. VS Code's .vscode/mcp.json uses a servers key instead of mcpServers (see how). Servers that require OAuth or an API key will prompt on first use.
