    How to connect

    How to connect Linkora Source to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://linkorasource.com/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    How to connect Linkora Source to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.

    get_company_profileWho Linkora Source is, where it operates (Jinhua, Zhejiang, China), how money flows (buyer pays the factory directly), the buyer types it serves, what it explicitly does not do, and how to contact it. Start here to decide whether a buyer's need is in scope.
    list_servicesThe four services — China sourcing agent, product inspection in China, factory audit in China and China supplier verification — each with what happens, what the buyer provides, what the buyer receives, cost and timing, and what is not included.
    get_pricingPublished prices in USD: per-job checks (supplier verification, inspection per man-day, basic factory audit), commission bands for a full order engagement, the monthly retainer, worked examples, exclusions, travel and payment conditions.
    estimate_feesArithmetic on the published rates: per-job checks and/or the commission for a given order value. Returns line items, the commission band, payment timing and exclusions. An estimate, not a quotation; travel beyond 100 km of Jinhua is flagged rather than priced.
    list_buyer_typesThe six buyer types served (Amazon sellers, retail brands, DTC brands, wholesale importers, OEM/ODM projects, promotional-product buyers), each with explicit 'fits when' and 'does not fit when' conditions and the page URL. Use it to match a buyer's situation without inference.
    search_guidesSearch Linkora Source's guides and comparisons (supplier verification, pre-shipment inspection, factory audits, Incoterms, samples, moulds, FBA labelling and more). Returns titles, URLs, a direct answer and the last-updated date, for citing.
    get_faqPublished answers on scope, minimum order, payment, failed inspections, refunds, NDAs, samples, cover when the founder is away, and what is not offered (freight, customs, warehousing, design). Optionally filter by a keyword.
    prepare_sourcing_briefWhen a buyer wants a quotation, turn their requirement into a pre-filled brief link for the Linkora Source form, plus WhatsApp and email alternatives. Nothing is submitted: the buyer opens the link, adds their own name, company and email, and sends it. Never include personal details in the arguments.
