Overview

MCP Link is a comprehensive framework that connects AI agents with real-world tools through a browser extension and optional MCP server. It provides strict user control over which tools are visible and how they're executed, with support for both remote tools (working out-of-the-box) and local tools (requiring server setup). The system includes enterprise-grade security features like user approval workflows, Docker sandboxing, and detailed logging of all tool requests and responses.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Enabling ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents to access your location and weather data
you:Allowing AI models to run SQL queries on your local SQLite databases
you:Sandboxing AI tool execution in Docker containers for security
you:What AI platforms does MCP Link support?
you:How is tool security ensured?

When to choose this

Choose MCP Link when you want AI agents to access real-world tools through a browser interface with granular user control, especially when needing both remote and local tool access with Docker sandboxing capabilities.

When NOT to choose this

Avoid MCP Link if you need an open-source license (the source is visible but not forkable) or if you're looking for a solution without proprietary components or the 'visible source' restriction model.

Installation

Installation

  1. Install the MCP Link browser extension:

- Download from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/AuraFriday/mcp-link/releases/latest/download/mcp-link.zip) - In Chrome: Enable Developer mode → Load unpacked → Select the 'extension' folder - Pin the extension and accept the EULA

  1. Add MCP servers to your extension:

- Click the MCP Link extension icon - Add your favorite MCP servers (SSE only)

  1. For local tools, install the MCP server component:

- Use the included Python 3.9+ server from the 'server' directory - Configure with your desired tools and security settings

FAQ

What AI platforms does MCP Link support?
MCP Link supports ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and others through browser enhancement recipes.
How is tool security ensured?
MCP Link implements dual-layer security: users must first enable tools in the extension UI, then can choose runtime approval policies (ask every time, allow automatically, or always allow). Optional Docker sandboxing provides additional isolation.
