**Website:** [app.linkmcp.io](https://app.linkmcp.io/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme) · **Docs for LLMs:** [llms.txt](https://app.linkmcp.io/llms.txt) / [llms-full.txt](https://app.linkmcp.io/llms-full.txt) · **Guides:** [app.linkmcp.io/guides](https://app.linkmcp.io/guides)

> This is the public documentation and configuration repo for the hosted LinkMCP service. The server is a managed remote MCP server and its code is not open source. There is nothing to install or run locally.

## Quick start

1. Sign up at [app.linkmcp.io](https://app.linkmcp.io/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme). The 7-day trial is free and needs no card.
2. Connect your LinkedIn account once in the web app (this needs a paid plan).
3. Add the server to your AI client (see below) and ask, for example: *"Research the VP of Sales at Acme Corp. Check their recent posts. Draft a connection request."*

### Remote MCP endpoint

```
https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp
```

Transport: Streamable HTTP. Auth: OAuth (browser sign-in, dynamic client registration) or an access key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` (create it in the web app under **API Keys**).

### Claude (web, desktop)

In Claude, open Customize > Connectors and click "Add custom connector". Paste `https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp` and click "Add". On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds it for the organization in Organization settings > Connectors; then each member clicks "Connect" under Customize > Connectors. Guide: [How to connect Claude to LinkedIn](https://app.linkmcp.io/guides/how-to-connect-claude-to-linkedin).

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http linkmcp https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp
```

### ChatGPT

Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT (Settings > Security and login). Then open the Plugins page, click the plus button and create a connection with the URL above. Guide: [Can ChatGPT read LinkedIn profiles?](https://app.linkmcp.io/guides/can-chatgpt-read-linkedin-profiles)

### Cursor, Gemini CLI and other MCP clients

Add a remote MCP server with URL `https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp`. The OAuth sign-in does the rest. If your client does not support OAuth, use an access key as a Bearer token.

### n8n, Make, Zapier

Use the MCP client node or module of the platform, with the endpoint above and an access key. Step by step: [n8n guide](https://app.linkmcp.io/guides/how-to-connect-linkedin-to-n8n), [Make guide](docs/connect-linkedin-to-make.md).

## Pricing

- **Free trial:** 7 days, no card. Profile and company lookups, post data and email or phone finding work in the trial. Connecting your own LinkedIn account (inbox, search as you, invites, posting) needs a paid plan.
- **Starter:** $19 per month. **Pro:** $49 per month (5x the Starter usage). **Max:** $199 per month (50x the Starter usage).
- Every 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.

## Account safety

- Server-side rate limits on every call, and a warm-up ramp 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?](https://app.linkmcp.io/guides/will-my-linkedin-get-banned) before you automate at volume.

## Example prompts

- **Research before outreach:** "Search VPs of Engineering at these 10 companies. Find shared connections for a warm intro."
- **Inbox:** "List conversations with no reply in 7+ days. Check what each person posted recently. Draft follow-ups."
- **Engagement:** "Who reacted to my last post? Which of them are marketing directors? Draft connection notes for the top 10."
- **Recruiting:** "Find senior engineers at Series B startups in Berlin who posted in the last month."

## Support
