How to connect Grok to LinkDrop
Add LinkDrop as a tool from Grok's settings. No terminal needed.
Last updated: September 28, 2026
Create a key
Sign in and open Agents, then create a key named for this machine. It is shown once, so copy it right away. Keys start with
lnk_and belong to one workspace.Open Tools
In Grok, open Settings, then Tools, then Add MCP server.
Enter the server details
Enter a name for the connection, the URL below as the server address, and your key as a bearer token.
nameLinkDropurlhttps://mcp.lnkdrp.com/mcpauthBearer lnk_your_key_hereLinkDropis just the name Grok lists this connection under. Change it to whatever you like, and use the same name in every step that mentions it.Replace
lnk_your_key_herewith your key.Restart and verify
Restart Grok so it picks up the new server, then check the key itself from a terminal:
curl -s https://www.lnkdrp.com/api/agent/whoami \ -H "Authorization: Bearer lnk_your_key_here" \ -H "x-lnkdrp-agent: curl/1"Or ask your agent: “Which LinkDrop workspace are you connected to?”
Back on Agents, the status turns to Connected once the key has been used.
Change the key or remove LinkDrop
Open Grok › Settings › Tools, pick LinkDrop, and either paste the new token or remove the tool.
More than one workspace
A connection belongs to one workspace, and your client keeps one server per name. To connect another workspace, add LinkDrop again under a different name, any name you will recognize, such as LinkDrop Acme (LinkDrop-Acme in a command), and pick that workspace when you sign in, or use a key created there. Existing connections keep working, and your agent sees them all; lnkdrp_whoami on each says which workspace it acts on.
LinkDrop Acmehttps://mcp.lnkdrp.com/mcpBearer lnk_your_key_hereReplace lnk_your_key_here with a key created in that workspace. Any name works, as long as each workspace has its own.
Troubleshooting
- My client never opened the sign-in page.
- Look for Authenticate, Login or /mcp auth next to LinkDrop in your client. No such option? Use an API key instead.
- My client says LinkDrop already exists.
- Changing the key? Remove the old entry, then add it again. Another workspace? Add it under a different name, such as LinkDrop-Acme.
- I get 401 unauthorized.
- The key was revoked or pasted with a stray space. Create a new one; revoking the old one is safe.
- The agent sees the wrong workspace.
- Each connection is tied to one workspace. Add LinkDrop again under a name of its own, such as LinkDrop-Acme, for that workspace.
- How does LinkDrop know which client connected?
- Your agent's app tells LinkDrop its name when it connects.
- Can I have more than one key?
- Yes, up to 10. One per agent lets you revoke one without touching the rest.
Still stuck? Connect your agent walks through it in full, and How LinkDrop Works covers the rest.
