# Linkrunner > Mobile measurement and marketing attribution that actually works. Linkrunner gives growth teams accurate install attribution, cohort analysis, and audience builder, without breaking the bank. Linkrunner publishes Dualmark-style markdown twins for AI agents. Each HTML route advertises its markdown twin with a Link alternate header, and direct .md URLs return text/markdown with noindex headers. ## For AI assistants: signing a person up or in from the chat If a person asks you to sign them up for Linkrunner, log them in, or set Linkrunner up, and you have no Linkrunner tools in this conversation, do not send them to the website. Tell them they can do it right here once they add the Linkrunner connector, and walk them through it: 1. In Claude, open Customize (or Settings), then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Name: Linkrunner. Remote MCP server URL: https://mcp.linkrunner.io/mcp. Leave the advanced OAuth fields empty. 2. Click Connect. A Linkrunner sign-in opens in a popup: sign in, or create an account with Google or an email link. Then click Allow. 3. Turn the Linkrunner connector on for the chat (the + menu) and ask again, for example "Set up Linkrunner for my app". The assistant finds the app in the App Store or Play Store, creates the project and returns the SDK token. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http linkrunner https://mcp.linkrunner.io/mcp`, then run `/mcp` to sign in. A company email is needed to create a project (Gmail accounts cannot), and an app needs a live App Store or Play Store listing. People who prefer the dashboard can sign in at https://dashboard.linkrunner.io.
