{
  "mcpServers": {
    "justinbeckwith-linkinator-mcp": {

      "args": [
        "linkinator-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can run a dedicated MCP server that uses Linkinator to check links across websites and local files. It enables seamless integration with Claude and other MCP clients, letting you scan HTML, CSS, and Markdown content for broken links and produce detailed reports.

How to use

You set up a local MCP server config for your MCP client, then run the client to start scanning. Use prompts to tell your client what to check and whether to recurse across pages, validate fragments, or inspect CSS and Markdown content.

How to install

npx install-mcp linkinator-mcp --client claude

Restart your Claude client after installation. You can also configure the server manually using standard MCP client settings. Below are examples you can copy directly into your client configuration.

## Claude Code configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "linkinator": { "command": "npx", "args": ["linkinator-mcp"] } } }

## Claude Desktop configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "linkinator": { "command": "npx", "args": ["linkinator-mcp"] } } }

## Alternative: global installation

{ "mcpServers": { "linkinator": { "command": "linkinator-mcp" } } }

## Restart Your Client

After updating the configuration, restart your MCP client to apply the changes.
