Connecting an AI assistant (MCP)

Let an AI assistant work with your Display Link account through MCP, with permissions you control.

Last updated About 2 months ago

Display Link supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), which lets an AI assistant or agent work directly with your account — designs, playlists, Drive, displays, products and more — through Display Link's secure API, using only the permissions you grant. Clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code can connect.

Server details

  • Server URL: https://api.display-link.nl/mcp
  • Connector name: Display Link
  • Authentication: OAuth — on first connect the app opens a Display Link sign-in / approval screen in your browser. There are no keys or tokens to copy by hand; your password is never shared with the app.

Claude (claude.ai custom connector)

  1. Open Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector.
  2. Set the Name to Display Link.
  3. Paste https://api.display-link.nl/mcp into the Remote MCP server URL field.
  4. Click Add — Claude opens the Display Link OAuth screen. Approve to connect.

ChatGPT (Developer mode — requires Pro / Business)

  1. Open Settings › Connectors › Advanced.
  2. Toggle Developer mode on and click Create app.
  3. Set the Name to Display Link.
  4. Paste https://api.display-link.nl/mcp into the MCP Server URL field.
  5. Leave Authentication on OAuth and submit. ChatGPT opens the Display Link OAuth screen — approve to connect.

Cursor

Add to Cursor — opens Cursor with the server pre-filled and walks you through OAuth.

Prefer to add it manually? Open Settings › MCP › Add new MCP server with:

  • Name: Display Link
  • URL: https://api.display-link.nl/mcp

Claude Code

Run this in any terminal — Claude Code stores the server in its global config and walks you through OAuth on first use:

claude mcp add --transport http "Display Link" https://api.display-link.nl/mcp

Other clients (Continue, Zed, …)

Add the entry below to your client's mcpServers.json. The OAuth flow runs automatically on the first request.

{      "mcpServers": {        "Display Link": {          "url": "https://api.display-link.nl/mcp"        }      }    }

Choose what to grant

On the consent screen you decide exactly what the app may do:

  • Accounts — grant all your accounts, or pick specific ones.
  • Permissions (scopes) — expand each group and tick only the scopes you want to allow.

Click Approve to connect (or Deny to cancel). The assistant can then act within those limits.

Manage or revoke access

Open Profile › MCP at any time to see every connected app, its granted scopes and accounts, and when it was last used. From there you can Edit which accounts and scopes an app may use, or Revoke its access entirely.
