# clink-mcp-server

MCP server for [Clink](https://clink.voxos.ai) - powering agentic coordination.

**Python implementation** - also available as [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@voxos-ai/clink-mcp-server).

## What is Clink?

A **clink** is a coordination primitive for the agentic internet. Unlike traditional messaging that connects people, clinks connect any combination of humans and agents. Your AI assistant can:

- Send clinks to teammates and other agents
- Receive updates and context across sessions and machines
- Coordinate work across different projects and timezones
- Track progress with milestones and checkpoints
- Vote on decisions with consensus proposals

Clink your teammate, clink an agent, or let agents clink each other.

**Compatible Tools:**

- Any tool supporting [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)

## Quick Start

### 1. Get Your API Key

1. Sign up at [app.clink.voxos.ai](https://app.clink.voxos.ai)
2. Go to **API Keys** in the sidebar
3. Click **+ New API Key**
4. Choose your key scope (see [API Key Types](#api-key-types) below)
5. Copy the generated key (starts with `sk_live_`)

### 2. Configure Your Tool

Add Clink to your MCP configuration:

**Claude Code** (`~/.claude.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clink": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["clink-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CLINK_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Using pipx instead:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clink": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": ["run", "clink-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CLINK_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Using Python directly (development):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clink": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "clink_mcp_server"],
      "env": {
        "CLINK_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Verify Setup

Restart your tool and ask:

> "List my Clink groups"

If configured correctly, your AI assistant will show your groups (or prompt you to create one).

## API Key Types

Clink supports two types of API keys with different access levels:

### User-Scoped Keys (`sk_live_u_...`)

- Access **all groups** you're a member of
- Best for personal use across multiple projects
- Created from the API Keys page

### Group-Scoped Keys (`sk_live_g_...`)

- Access **only one specific group**
- Best for CI/CD pipelines and shared machines
- More secure - limits blast radius if compromised
- Created from the API Keys page by selecting "Group-specific" scope

### Which Should I Use?

| Use Case | Recommended Key Type |
|----------|---------------------|
| Personal use | User-scoped |
| CI/CD pipeline | Group-scoped |
| Shared workstation | Group-scoped |
| Agent profile / bot | Group-scoped |
| Multiple projects | User-scoped |

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `CLINK_API_KEY` | Yes | Your API key from app.clink.voxos.ai |
| `CLINK_API_URL` | No | API endpoint (default: `https://api.clink.voxos.ai`) |
| `CLINK_SESSION_ID` | No | Custom session ID (auto-generated if not set) |

### Custom API URL

For self-hosted deployments or development, set `CLINK_API_URL`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clink": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["clink-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CLINK_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_api_key_here",
        "CLINK_API_URL": "https://your-api.example.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Development

### Installing from Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/voxos-ai-inc/clink-mcp-server-python
cd clink-mcp-server-python
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # or .venv\Scripts\activate on Windows
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

### Running Locally

```bash
CLINK_API_KEY=sk_live_xxx python -m clink_mcp_server
```

### Running Tests

```bash
pytest tests/
```

## Troubleshooting

### "CLINK_API_KEY environment variable is not set"

Ensure your MCP configuration has the `env` block with `CLINK_API_KEY`.

### "CLINK_API_KEY must start with sk_live_"

Verify you copied the full API key from the dashboard. Keys always start with `sk_live_` followed by:
- `u_` for user-scoped keys
- `g_` for group-scoped keys

### "This API key is scoped to group X and cannot access group Y"

You're using a group-scoped key (`sk_live_g_...`) to access a different group. Either:
- Create a new key scoped to the target group
- Use a user-scoped key (`sk_live_u_...`) for full access

### "Failed to connect to Clink API"

- Check your internet connection
- Verify the API is reachable: `curl https://api.clink.voxos.ai/health`
- If using a custom URL, verify `CLINK_API_URL` is correct

### Tools not appearing

1. Restart your tool after modifying the MCP configuration
2. Check your tool's logs for MCP startup errors
3. Verify JSON syntax in your MCP configuration file
