Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted LinkedIn MCP server that lets an assistant research people and companies, search, read and send messages, and post from your own LinkedIn account.

What you can do
  • Look up profiles, companies, jobs, posts, comments and reactions, in bulk too
  • Search people, Sales Navigator and jobs
  • Read the inbox, list conversations and messages, send messages and InMail, mark conversations read
  • List connections and shared connections, list and manage connection requests, send requests
  • Create posts, comment and react, as yourself or as a company page you administer
  • Find and validate work emails and mobile numbers, and read your own analytics, profile views and saved items
When to use it
Useful for recruiting, sales prospecting and account research where the assistant should work from your real LinkedIn network: ranking prospects, screening candidates, preparing for calls, or drafting follow-ups to quiet conversations. The free trial covers read-only lookups; acting as yourself needs a paid plan with your LinkedIn account connected.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; nothing to install. OAuth sign-in in the browser, or an access key sent as an Authorization Bearer header for clients without OAuth. A LinkMCP account (email code or Google sign-in) and, for write actions, a paid plan with your LinkedIn account connected. A Sales Navigator seat is optional.
Before you install
It acts through your own LinkedIn account: 8 tools write, including sending messages, invitations, posts, comments and reactions, and actions as a company page count toward your daily limits. Paid plans cost $39 to $199 per month after a 7-day trial, with usage caps and $10 top-ups. Tool inputs such as profile, job and post URLs and approved message text are sent to the hosted service. LinkedIn account restriction cannot be ruled out completely; the service is not affiliated with LinkedIn and…

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open LinkMCP: hosted LinkedIn MCP server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required 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.linkmcp%2Flinkmcp/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. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

LinkMCP - hosted LinkedIn MCP server

Your own LinkedIn account, as tools for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and Gemini.

LinkMCP is a hosted MCP server for LinkedIn. You connect your LinkedIn account once in the web app. Then your AI assistant can research people and companies, search LinkedIn (also Sales Navigator, with your own seat), read and answer your LinkedIn messages, post, comment and react (as yourself or as a company page that you administer), manage invitations, and find work emails and mobile numbers. There is nothing to install and nothing to run.

[Start your free 7-day trial]

No card. Sign in with an email code or Google. Setup takes about a minute.

This repository is also a plugin with 7 skills for Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI and other AI agents. See Plugin and skills.

Quick start

  1. Start the trial at app.linkmcp.io.
  2. Add LinkMCP to your AI client with the steps for your client below. Your client opens a browser window. Sign in to LinkMCP and approve.
  3. Ask. Copy one of the example prompts.

The endpoint is the same for every client:

https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github

Transport: Streamable HTTP. Sign-in: OAuth in the browser. If your client cannot do OAuth, send an access key as Authorization: Bearer <key>. You create the key in the web app under API Keys.

What works in the free trial: profile and company lookups, the posts of people and companies, with their comments and reactions, and email and phone finding. To act as yourself on LinkedIn (people search, inbox, invitations, posting, company pages), subscribe and connect your LinkedIn account once in the web app.

Claude (web and desktop)

Add to Claude opens the "Add custom connector" dialog with the name and URL filled in. Or do it by hand:

  1. In Claude, open Customize > Connectors, click + and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it LinkMCP and paste https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github.
  3. Click Add, then Connect, and approve the sign-in window.

On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds the connector in Organization settings > Connectors. Then each member clicks Connect. The Free plan allows one custom connector.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http linkmcp "https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github"

Then run /mcp in Claude Code, select linkmcp and choose Authenticate.

ChatGPT

Add LinkMCP in ChatGPT on the web, in Plugins. We saw Add custom MCP server on ChatGPT Plus (2026-10-21); OpenAI's help page also names Business and Enterprise/Edu.

  1. Open chatgpt.com/plugins, click Add and choose Add custom MCP server.
  2. Name it LinkMCP, choose Server URL, paste https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github and leave Authentication on OAuth.
  3. Tick I understand and want to continue, click Create and sign in to LinkMCP in the window that opens.
  4. In a chat, type @ and choose LinkMCP.

On a Business workspace, only admins and owners can add a custom MCP server; on Enterprise and Edu, admins decide who can.

Codex

Codex CLI:

bash
codex mcp add linkmcp --url "https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github"

Codex opens the sign-in window. If it does not, run codex mcp login linkmcp.

Codex app and IDE extension: open the settings menu, select MCP servers > Add server, name it LinkMCP, choose Streamable HTTP, paste the endpoint, save, and click Authenticate.

Cursor

[Add LinkMCP to Cursor]

Or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "linkmcp": { "url": "https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github" }  }}

Restart Cursor and approve the sign-in window.

Gemini CLI

Install LinkMCP as a Gemini CLI extension:

bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/linkmcp-io/linkmcp

Or add only the server:

bash
gemini mcp add --transport http linkmcp "https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github"

Then start Gemini CLI and run /mcp auth linkmcp to sign in.

Other clients (VS Code, Windsurf, n8n, Make, Zapier)

VS Code:

bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"linkmcp","type":"http","url":"https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=github"}'
  • Windsurf and other MCP clients: add a remote MCP server with the endpoint above.
  • n8n, Make, Zapier: use the MCP client node or module of the platform with the endpoint and an access key. Step by step: n8n guide, Make guide.

Plugin and skills

This repository is also a plugin. The plugin adds the LinkMCP server to your AI client, and it adds 7 skills. A skill is a short set of instructions that tells your AI how to do one task with the LinkMCP tools.

SkillWhat you getFree trialWhat it sends to LinkedIn
linkedin-prospect-listPaste profile links. Get a ranked prospect list: role, company size and website, a recent post topic, the work email with its status, and why each person fits.YesNothing

linkedin-account-briefA one-page brief before a call: the company and its recent posts, the people you meet, shared connections, talking points and questions.Yes, except shared connectionsNothing
linkedin-engagement-leadsThe people who commented on or reacted to a post, as a ranked lead list.Yes, except replies to commentsNothing
linkedin-inbox-followupLinkedIn conversations with no reply for 7 days or more, with short follow-up drafts.NoOnly the messages that you approve, one at a time

"No" in the free trial column means that the skill needs your own LinkedIn account, which is part of the paid LinkMCP plans.

Install the plugin

Claude (web, desktop and Cowork): open Customize > Plugins, choose Add > Add marketplace and enter linkmcp-io/linkmcp. Add the LinkMCP plugin. Then open the Connectors tab of the plugin, connect LinkMCP and approve the sign-in window.

If you added LinkMCP before as a custom connector, remove that connector after you connect the plugin. Then Claude sees one set of LinkMCP tools.

Claude Code:

bash
claude plugin marketplace add linkmcp-io/linkmcpclaude plugin install linkmcp@linkmcp

Then run /mcp, select the LinkMCP server and choose Authenticate. If you added LinkMCP before with claude mcp add, remove it with claude mcp remove linkmcp.

Codex:

bash
codex plugin marketplace add linkmcp-io/linkmcpcodex plugin add linkmcp@linkmcp

Instead of the second command, you can open /plugins in Codex and install LinkMCP. Sign in to LinkMCP when Codex asks.

Gemini CLI: the extension install command in Gemini CLI installs the server and the skills.

Other agents (skills only): this command installs the 7 skills in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and many other agents. Then add the LinkMCP server to your agent as Quick start shows.

bash
npx skills add linkmcp-io/linkmcp

Try the skills

These prompts work in the free trial:

Rank these LinkedIn profiles as prospects for <what you sell> and find the workemails of the best ones: <profile links>
Find leads from these LinkedIn job posts. We sell <what you sell>. Who is on thehiring team, and why should we contact them now? <job links>
Screen these candidates for a <role> opening. Must-haves: <3 to 5 requirements>.<profile links>
Prepare me for my call with linkedin.com/company/stripe tomorrow. I will meet<profile URL>. The goal of the call is a first demo.
Who engaged with this LinkedIn post? <post URL>. Make a lead list of marketingleaders at B2B software companies.

With your LinkedIn account connected (paid plans):

Find 20 heads of sales at software companies in Germany with 50 to 500 employees.Show me the best matches, then draft connection notes. I approve each one.
Find my LinkedIn conversations with no reply for 7 days or more and draftfollow-ups. Show me each draft before you send anything.

What the plugin does with your data

The plugin contains only text, configuration files and a logo. It runs no code on your computer. When your AI uses a LinkMCP tool, your AI client sends the tool input to https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp, for example a profile URL, a job URL, a post URL, search words or the text of a message or invitation that you approved. LinkMCP gets the data or does the action, and sends back the result. Messages and other actions on LinkedIn use your connected LinkedIn account. Four skills only read data. Three skills can send a LinkedIn message or invitation from your account. Each one asks you to approve the exact text, for one person at a time, before it sends. Privacy policy: app.linkmcp.io/legal/privacy.

If a skill says that the LinkMCP tools are missing, connect the LinkMCP server in your AI client and sign in.

Example prompts

Copy a prompt, replace the parts in angle brackets, and paste it into your AI client.

These work in the free trial:

Look up the company linkedin.com/company/stripe on LinkedIn and give me a shortbrief: what they do, how big they are and what they posted recently.
Look up the LinkedIn profile <profile URL> and give me a short brief: role, company,time in the role, and what they posted in the last month.
Find the work email of <full name> at <company domain> and validate it.
Here are LinkedIn profile URLs: <URLs>. Make a table with name, title, company andlocation.

These need a paid plan, with your LinkedIn account connected:

Find heads of RevOps at Series B SaaS companies in the Netherlands. Summarise whateach one posted in the last month.
List my LinkedIn conversations with no reply in 7 days. Check what each personposted recently and draft a reply for each. Show me the drafts before you sendanything.

Utilitysend_feedback

27 tools only read. 8 tools write: send a message, send a connection request, accept, decline or withdraw a connection request, create a post, comment, react, mark a conversation as read, and send feedback. Every tool has a title and a read-only or write annotation, so your client can ask you before a write. Full parameter documentation: llms-full.txt.

Company pages: your AI can post, comment and react as a LinkedIn company page that you administer. It must name the page with as_page. Without as_page, it acts as you. Actions as a page count toward the same daily limits as your own actions.

Pricing

  • Free trial: 7 days, no card. The tools marked trial work at once. Connecting your own LinkedIn account needs a paid plan.
  • Starter: $39 per month. If you subscribe from a new trial, your first month is $19.50.
  • Pro: $49 per month (2.5x the Starter usage). Max: $199 per month (25x the Starter usage).
  • Every paid plan includes every tool. Each plan has a monthly usage allowance and a hard cap, so a looping agent cannot run up a bill. Top-up packs cost $10.

Current prices: app.linkmcp.io/#pricing

Account risk and limits

How LinkMCP protects your LinkedIn account:

  • Server-side rate limits on every call, and a warm-up limit for connection requests on new or quiet accounts.
  • Your LinkedIn password is not stored. The LinkedIn session runs on dedicated session infrastructure, not in your browser.
  • No bulk scraping and no mass exports. No training on your data.
  • Read Will my LinkedIn get banned? before you automate at volume.

As with any tool that acts on LinkedIn for you, a restriction cannot be ruled out completely; these limits keep the risk low.
