How do I use @curviate/mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@@curviate/mcp search for software engineers at Google" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

@curviate/mcp

Official Model Context Protocol server for the Curviate API: LinkedIn actions for AI agents, over stdio.

Built on @curviate/sdk and the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. Every tool call is a single typed SDK call against the Curviate REST API, structured errors and all, no local reimplementation of LinkedIn's business logic.

Install

npx (no install required)

npx @curviate/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add curviate -e CURVIATE_API_KEY=<your-api-key> -- npx -y @curviate/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "curviate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@curviate/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CURVIATE_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "curviate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@curviate/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CURVIATE_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot Chat)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json (note the top-level key is servers, not mcpServers):

{
  "servers": {
    "curviate": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@curviate/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CURVIATE_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Get an API key from the Curviate dashboard. Pass it via the CURVIATE_API_KEY environment variable (preferred, shown above) or with a --api-key flag as a documented fallback:

npx @curviate/mcp --api-key <your-api-key>

A key passed as --api-key is visible to other users on the machine through ps/process listings and lands in shell history; prefer the environment variable in every context where it's available.

Override the API base URL (for testing against a non-production environment) with CURVIATE_BASE_URL.

Also available: hosted remote MCP

Curviate also runs a hosted, remote Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at https://app.curviate.com/mcp, authenticated with your API key as a bearer token. Clients with native remote-MCP support (Claude Code, Claude Desktop Connectors, Claude.ai, ChatGPT Developer Mode, Cursor, VS Code) can point at it directly instead of running this package locally:

claude mcp add --transport http curviate https://app.curviate.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>"

This package exists for stdio-only clients (and anyone who prefers a locally-spawned process) and stays in sync with the same tool surface the hosted endpoint serves.

Tools

Every tool takes an account_id, the connected LinkedIn account to act as (from list_accounts), except list_accounts and get_account themselves, which are tenant-wide.

Tool	Description
`list_accounts`	List the tenant's connected LinkedIn accounts.

`list_job_applicants`	List a job posting's applicants, or fetch one applicant.

Sales Navigator

Requires a Sales Navigator seat on the connected account; a seat-less account gets a structured TIER_NOT_ACTIVE error, not a silent downgrade. Most id-bearing filters take an already-resolved opaque parameter id, this package does not resolve free-text names to ids.

`sn_save_lead`	Save a LinkedIn member into a Sales Navigator lead list.

Tool	Description
`rec_search_candidates`	Search LinkedIn members using Recruiter's filter set.
`rec_search_talent_pool`	Search a Recruiter project's talent pool.
`rec_search_from_url`	Run a pasted Recruiter search, talent-pool, or applicant URL directly.

`rec_start_chat`	Start a Recruiter InMail-style chat and send the opening message.
`rec_list_projects`	List Recruiter hiring projects, or fetch one project's full detail.
`rec_edit_project`	Edit a Recruiter project's config.
`rec_list_pipeline`	List candidates in a Recruiter project's pipeline.
`rec_save_candidate`	Save a candidate to a Recruiter project's pipeline.
`rec_list_applicants`	List a project's talent-pool applicants, or fetch one applicant.
`rec_list_jobs`	List Recruiter job postings, or fetch one, optionally with its budget.
`rec_create_job_draft`	Create a Recruiter job posting draft, in a new or existing project.
`rec_edit_job`	Edit a Recruiter job posting.
`rec_transition_job`	Publish or close a Recruiter job posting.

Company Admin

Page-admin only, beta. The connected account must administer the target page (from list_managed_companies); an account that does not gets a structured RESOURCE_ACCESS_RESTRICTED error before anything is read or sent.

Tool	Description
`list_company_chats`	List conversations in a company page's admin inbox.
`read_company_chat`	Read a company page's admin inbox chat, or a message within it.
`reply_company_chat`	Reply to a company inbox conversation as the page.
`invite_followers`	Invite connections to follow a company page.

Each tool's input schema and read-only/destructive annotations are discoverable through tools/list, standard MCP introspection, no separate reference is needed to see the exact parameters.

Errors

A failed call returns isError: true with the Curviate API's structured error body as the tool result text, the same { code, message, retry_hint, user_fixable, retry_likely_to_succeed } shape documented at docs.curviate.com, verbatim. Nothing is translated or re-wrapped in between, an agent branching on code sees exactly what the REST API would have returned.

Roadmap

v1 shipped the highest-value core read and core write tools (20 total). A second tranche added profile management and insights, following, company browsing, messaging extras, notifications, post and comment lifecycle management, connect-request withdrawal, classic job postings, and the remaining search surface (52 total). This tranche adds Sales Navigator search and outreach, Recruiter search and project/pipeline/job management, and company page admin inbox and follow-invite tools (78 total), reaching full tool-surface parity with the hosted MCP endpoint.

Intentionally excluded, not planned for this package: list_toolsets, enable_toolsets, and explain_tools (the hosted server's Meta group) manage a remote server's dynamically gated toolset for a wide range of MCP clients; a local stdio package has one fixed toolset decided at install time, so there is nothing for them to gate. search and fetch (the hosted server's ChatGPT deep-research compatibility shim) exist only to satisfy ChatGPT's connector contract for a remote server; a locally-spawned stdio process has no such contract to satisfy. All five are hosted-server-specific by design, not a gap in this package.

This closes the gap with the hosted MCP endpoint's tool surface (78 tools each, the same count as above once the five hosted-server-specific tools are set aside). Webhook management (create/list/update/delete subscriptions) is REST/CLI-only, the hosted MCP endpoint does not expose it as tools either. Each future addition is one file under src/tools/, no architecture change required.
