The agent does the part everyone else skips
Other exchanges hand you an email address. Placing the link is where trades die, and your agent is already in the repo.
Free backlink exchange · driven over MCP
Trade backlinks from inside your coding agent.
Roughly half of agreed link trades never become a published link. Your agent is already in the repo, so we put the whole trade where the work happens.

Run this once, in any terminal
Get your key
It hands you this line with the key already in it, so there is nothing to paste over.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project instead of just this one.
Create or edit
.cursor/mcp.jsonGet your key
It hands you this line with the key already in it, so there is nothing to paste over.
Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json instead if you want the server in every project.
Add to
~/.codex/config.tomlGet your key
It hands you this line with the key already in it, so there is nothing to paste over.
Codex reads the token from the environment variable, so the key never sits in the config file.
Add to
~/.gemini/settings.jsonGet your key
It hands you this line with the key already in it, so there is nothing to paste over.
Use .gemini/settings.json inside a repo to scope the server to that project.
One HTTP server. Nothing to install locally, nothing running on your machine.
Your listing is drafted from the page itself, and scrubbed of anything that names you.
You judge a partner on category, DR and what the site does. Not on who they are.
This is the step every other exchange leaves to you, and the step where most trades die.
Add the server once. Then just say “trade a link” in any session.

Why this one is different
Matched inside your category, banded by DR
You are matched inside your own category and banded by DR, widened by one adjacent step only when a category is thin.
We verify, and we keep checking
Both links are fetched and classified when marked placed, then again on day 7, day 30, and monthly. Pull one and the other side hears.
How it works
- 01
Submit your site
Paste a URL. We draft the listing (category, an identity-scrubbed description, anchors, DR) and keep your URL hidden until you both agree.
- 02
Get matched in your category
Matching runs weekly, or instantly if a partner is waiting. You see a masked profile: category, DR band, the anchors it wants.
- 03
Trade, and we verify
Accept, you are revealed to each other, and once you mark your link placed we check it and keep checking.
House rules
Four of them, and they do not change per member.
- Real sites only
- A live site, real content, a real owner. Parked domains, PBNs, expired-domain rebuilds and link farms are turned down.
- Same category, or nothing
- Matched inside your own category. If it is too thin to pair, we widen by exactly one adjacent step and say so.
- One for one, reciprocal
- One link out, one link in. No credits, no points, no queue to buy your way up.
- Where the link goes is your call
- We classify every placement (content, footer, nav, sidebar) and every rel (dofollow, nofollow, sponsored), and tell both sides what they gave and what they got. We never reject a placement and never referee one: you decide whether the trade was fair.
Add the server. Then say “trade a link”.
Free, one for one, and your URL stays hidden until you both agree. Agent or web form, same exchange.
