~/.venvs/linkcensus-agent/bin/linkcensus-mcp --version

The wheels pin MCP SDK 2.3.0; pip downloads its dependencies from your configured package index. The two LinkCensus packages are distributed here and are not yet on PyPI. MCP Registry publication is separate and remains pending.

Start at API keys. A free account allows 15 neighborhood lookup attempts per UTC calendar month and up to five rows per lookup, shared by REST, CLI and MCP. Edition and domain-resolution reads do not spend that monthly allowance. Rotation does not reset it.

The MCP server runs locally over stdio and uses your LinkCensus key. It exposes list_editions, resolve_domain and get_neighbor_candidates. There is no hosted MCP address. API and MCP documentation explains configuration and limits; install from the public wheel URLs above rather than the documentation's temporary private wheelhouse example.

Results are dated link-neighborhood candidates, not confirmed competitors. Verify product overlap before using them in a comparison.

These exact artifacts were built from 64fe2bc5a7924ecb5619f5971d80cb93583de442, checked and installed in a fresh environment. Local acceptance covers CLI/MCP parity, shared quotas, initialization and revoked keys. Live email enrollment and two end-user client sessions remain separate acceptance checks.
