io.github.baldigaPublished by GitHub account baldigav1.0.1Updated Oct 24, 2026

Live LinkedIn data for AI agents: profiles, companies, jobs, posts, email finding. No account risk.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP endpoint giving AI assistants live LinkedIn data: profiles, companies, jobs, posts, people search and email finding.

What you can do
  • Look up and enrich people: full profiles, live snapshots, employment history, recommendations, similar profiles, interests, and handle-to-id resolution
  • Research companies: firmographics, live enrichment with funding and location data, employees, insights, similar and affiliated pages, posts and open jobs
  • Search people, companies, schools and skills with filters, including live searches by current/past company and school
  • Work with job postings: search, details, similar roles, hiring team, and jobs posted by a person
  • Read activity: a person's posts, post content, threaded comments, reactions, and comments authored by someone
  • Find and verify work emails, reverse-lookup business addresses, and…
When to use it
Useful for recruiting, sales prospecting and account research where an assistant needs current professional data without touching your own LinkedIn account. Good fit for outbound personalization, hiring-team mapping and job-change monitoring.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime. Requires a ZOOQ API key sent in the X-API-Key header, obtained from the provider's signup page. Usage is credit-based, with a free starting balance and a default hourly credit cap.
Before you install
Every tool call spends credits, so costs accumulate with heavy use. Email finding and reverse lookup return personal contact data, which carries privacy and consent obligations. The service sends queries to a third-party provider and returns data derived from LinkedIn; check its terms before relying on results.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ZOOQ - LinkedIn Data for AI Agents in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect X-API-Key credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.baldiga%2Fzooq/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

ZOOQ MCP — live LinkedIn data for AI agents

[MCP Registry] [Website] [smithery badge]

ZOOQ gives your AI agent real-time LinkedIn data — profiles, companies, jobs, posts, people search, job-change signals and email finding — as 44 clean MCP tools served from a hosted endpoint.

The important part: your agent never touches your LinkedIn account. Most LinkedIn MCP servers work by borrowing your logged-in session cookie, which puts your own account at ban risk and breaks every few weeks. ZOOQ runs on its own infrastructure. You paste one API key; your account stays out of it entirely.

  • Endpoint: https://zooq.dev/api/mcp (streamable HTTP)
  • Auth: X-API-Key header — get a free key (300 credits, no card)
  • Pricing: credit-based, pay for what you call. Failed upstream calls are auto-refunded.

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://zooq.dev/api/mcp, header X-API-Key: YOUR_ZOOQ_KEY.

Replace YOUR_ZOOQ_KEY with the key from zooq.dev/signup. That's the whole setup.

Typical agent recipes:

  • AI SDR — search_people → profile_enrich → posts_all → write a genuinely personalized opener → email_find_by_profile
  • Job-change trigger — search_job_changes on your target accounts → congratulate/pitch the week they land
  • Account research — companies_enrich + companies_employees_data + companies_jobs → a briefing your agent writes itself

Rate limits & good citizenship

Responses carry _meta.credits_remaining and _meta.hourly_cap_remaining — agents should pace themselves. Default cap: 10,000 credits/hour. Errors are structured (-32005 = hourly cap, back off).

Tools

45

profile_full

Get full LinkedIn profile

Complete profile in one call — positions, education, skills, certifications, geo, follower/connection counts and flags. This is the canonical profile read; the other profile/* paths (overview, details, about, education, skills, certifications, full-experience, social-matrix) are named aliases that return this exact same record. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersidhandle

profile_entity_id

Resolve profile handle to live entity id

Resolve a public handle to the person entityId used by the live person endpoints (posts, comments, interests, lookalikes). Resolve once, reuse the id. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametershandlerequired

profile_enrich

Get live profile snapshot

Freshest LIVE snapshot of one profile, by handle or entityId — not the deduplicated dataset record the other profile/* endpoints return. Carries live-only flags (openToWork, isHiring, isTopVoice) and returns the person's entityId, the id every other live person endpoint needs. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

ParametershandleentityId

profile_employment_history

Get live employment history

Complete LIVE work history for one person: per-role organization, title, description, location, parsed dates, per-role skills, and parallel-position groupings (concurrent titles kept distinct rather than flattened). Overlaps profile_full_experience, which reads the dataset record — use this when you need freshness, per-role skills, or correct handling of concurrent roles. Pass `handle` and Zooq resolves it at no extra credit cost, or pass `entityId` from profile_entity_id to skip the lookup. Not-found is free upstream. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

ParametershandleentityId

profile_recommendations

Get profile recommendations

Recommendations written for the person, with author details and text. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

ParametershandleentityId

profile_similar

Find similar profiles

Similar professional profiles — expand a shortlist from one example. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

ParametershandleentityId

profile_interests

Get profile interests

Entities the person follows (companies, groups, people, newsletters). (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

ParametershandleentityId

companies_entity_id

Resolve company slug to organization id

Resolve a company slug to the numeric organization id used by the live company endpoints (posts, similar, affiliated, insights). Resolve once, reuse the id. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersslugrequired

companies_universal_name_to_id

Resolve company slug to dataset id

Resolve a company slug (the part after linkedin.com/company/) to its stable org_ id — the dataset id used by /companies/info. For the live company endpoints (posts, similar, affiliated, insights) use companies_entity_id instead; the two ids are not interchangeable. Returns the FULL company record (identical to /companies/info) — read `data.id`. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersslugrequired

companies_info

Get company profile

Full company firmographics — description, industry, headcount, HQ, follower count, specialties. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersidslug

companies_enrich

Get live company profile with funding

Freshest LIVE company profile. Returns three things the dataset record behind companies_info does not: funding signals, the FULL location list (not just HQ), and parent/affiliated/related pages. Pass `slug` and Zooq resolves it to the numeric id at no extra credit cost, or pass `id` from companies_entity_id to skip the lookup. Not-found is free upstream. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersidslug

companies_name_lookup

Look up companies by name

Search companies by name, with the full firmographic filter set. Cursor-paginated. Same upstream as search_companies — use whichever entry point reads better; they are equivalent. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersslugrequiredsortlimittitlecursorgeo_citystart_yearstart_monthcurrent_onlygeo_country_code

companies_similar

Find similar companies

Similar companies / peers (id, name, industry, followers, url). Keyed by the numeric organization id: pass `slug` and Zooq resolves it for you at no extra credit cost, or pass `id` from companies_entity_id to skip the lookup. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersidslug

companies_affiliated_pages

List affiliated company pages

Affiliated / subsidiary / showcase pages of a company. Keyed by the numeric organization id: pass `slug` and Zooq resolves it for you at no extra credit cost, or pass `id` from companies_entity_id to skip the lookup. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersidslug

companies_insights

Get company insights

Employee-count total + distribution buckets (by department, seniority, location). Keyed by the numeric organization id: pass `slug` and Zooq resolves it for you at no extra credit cost, or pass `id` from companies_entity_id to skip the lookup. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Parametersidslug

companies_posts

List company posts

A company's recent posts. data.activities[].entityId is the activity id consumed by /posts/info, /posts/comments, /posts/likes. Keyed by the numeric organization id: pass `slug` and Zooq resolves it for you at no extra credit cost, or pass `id` from companies_entity_id to skip the lookup. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

search_jobs

Search job postings

Job/opportunity search with the full filter set. Location filtering works: pass `locations` a LinkedIn geo id (e.g. 101570771 for Tel Aviv-Yafo) — see that parameter for how to find one, and note it is an EXACT match, so use a city id rather than a country id. Still id-typed and not yet usable: titles, industries, functions, benefits, commitments. Offset-paginated. data.jobs[].id is the opportunityEntityId consumed by /jobs/details-v2, /jobs/similar, /jobs/people-also-viewed, /jobs/hiring-team. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

search_people_live

Search people (live, by company history)

LIVE people search — the only endpoint that filters by current company, past company AND school together.

Not-found is free upstream. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)

Job postings authored by a person (a recruiter's, hiring manager's or founder's roles). Includes closed postings (`jobState`).

ParameterscountstarthandlepersonEntityId

A person's recent posts / activity stream. Cursor- or offset-paginated. Keyed by the person entityId: pass `handle` and Zooq resolves it for you at no extra credit cost, or pass `entityId` from profile_entity_id to skip the lookup. (Costs 10 Zooq credits.)
