Does LinkedIn have an official MCP server?
No. LinkedIn does not publish an MCP server – its developer platform offers REST APIs, most of them gated behind partner approval. Linked API MCP is an unofficial LinkedIn MCP server: it runs LinkedIn actions through a dedicated cloud browser on an account you own, so your assistant searches, reads and messages the way you would, at a human pace, and Linked API never stores your password. Install it in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf and ask in plain language.
Common use cases
- Sales automation assistant. Ask your AI to find leads, check their profiles, and draft personalized outreach. It can search for "software engineers at companies with 50-200 employees in San Francisco", analyze their backgrounds, and suggest connection messages that actually make sense.
- Recruitment assistant. Let your assistant search for candidates with specific skills, review their experience, and send initial outreach. It handles the time-consuming parts while you focus on actually talking to people.
- Conversation assistant. Your AI can read your existing LinkedIn conversations and help you respond naturally. It understands the context of your chats, suggests relevant replies, and can even send follow-up messages.
- Market research assistant. Need competitor analysis? Your assistant can gather data about companies, their employees, and recent activities. Get insights about industry trends without spending hours on LinkedIn.
