Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_person_profile | Get a specific person's LinkedIn profile. |
| search_people | Search for people on LinkedIn. |
| connect_with_person | Send a LinkedIn connection request or accept an incoming one. The tool is annotated with destructiveHint so MCP clients will prompt for user confirmation before execution. |
| get_sidebar_profiles | Get profile links from sidebar recommendation sections on a LinkedIn profile page. Extracts profiles from "More profiles for you", "Explore premium profiles", and "People you may know" sidebar sections. Follows "Show all" links to return the full list from each section. Sections that redirect to linkedin.com/premium are skipped. |
| get_my_profile | Get the authenticated user's own LinkedIn profile. Navigates to /in/me/ and resolves the redirect to obtain the real username before scraping, so the url field in the result is the actual profile URL (e.g. linkedin.com/in/johndoe/) rather than /in/me/. |
| get_company_profile | Get a specific company's LinkedIn profile. |
| get_company_posts | Get recent posts from a company's LinkedIn feed. |
| search_companies | Search for companies on LinkedIn. |
| get_company_employees | List employees at a company from the LinkedIn /people/ page, including the demographics aggregate that this view exposes: where employees live, where they studied, and a function breakdown (Engineering, Sales, Operations, etc.). The demographics are unique to this tool. For filtered search by network degree (1st/2nd/3rd) or location, prefer search_people with current_company set to the company URN id. That path also returns more result pages than the /people/ tab. The optional keywords filter narrows results by name, title, or skill. company_name must be the exact LinkedIn URL slug (the path segment after /company/), not the display name. LinkedIn assigns unique slugs and the display name often does not match. For example, the AI lab Anthropic lives at /company/anthropicresearch/, not /company/anthropic/. If you are unsure of the slug, call search_companies first and pick the slug from the returned references. |
| get_job_details | Get job details for a specific job posting on LinkedIn. |
| search_jobs | Search for jobs on LinkedIn. Returns job_ids that can be passed to get_job_details for full info. |
| get_inbox | List recent conversations from the LinkedIn messaging inbox. |
| get_conversation | Read a specific messaging conversation. Provide either linkedin_username or thread_id to identify the conversation. When looked up by linkedin_username, resolution searches the messaging inbox for the participant's display name and click-visits every matching row to capture its thread ID — LinkedIn's sidebar has no anchor hrefs or thread-id attributes, so this is the only available path. Each visit selects the row in the LinkedIn UI and may mark it as read. Pass thread_id directly to skip this enumeration. |
| search_conversations | Search messages by keyword. |
| send_message | Send a message to a LinkedIn user. The recipient must be directly messageable from the profile page. This is a write operation when confirm_send is True. |
| get_feed | Get posts from the authenticated user's LinkedIn feed. |
| close_session | Close the current browser session and clean up resources. |
