LinkedIn MCP server
Search LinkedIn posts and read profiles and company pages from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Hosted, with no LinkedIn login, no cookies and no API keys of your own.
What is a LinkedIn MCP server?
A LinkedIn MCP server connects an AI agent such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to LinkedIn data over the Model Context Protocol, so it can search posts and read profiles and company pages mid-conversation. LinkedIn publishes no official one. Third-party servers reach the data through your session cookie, a browser they drive as you, or a data provider, as Manifold does.

No cookies, no LinkedIn login
LinkedIn does not publish an MCP server of its own, so every LinkedIn MCP is third party. What matters is how each one gets the data. For every option, from open-source servers to content tools, see the best LinkedIn MCP servers.

LinkedIn’s terms and your account
LinkedIn’s User Agreement forbids software, bots and browser extensions that scrape LinkedIn or act on an account automatically, and LinkedIn can restrict, suspend or close an account that breaks it. A server that runs on your session cookie, or drives a browser signed in as you, does that work under your account, so the risk is yours. Manifold never signs in to LinkedIn: it reads public posts, profiles and company pages through a data provider, with no LinkedIn account of yours and no cookie to paste.

Questions about the LinkedIn MCP
Does LinkedIn have an official MCP server?
No. LinkedIn does not publish one. Every LinkedIn MCP server is built by someone else, and they differ in how they reach the data: your session cookie, a browser they drive as you, or a data provider.
Is there a Claude MCP for LinkedIn?
Not from LinkedIn or Anthropic, but any remote LinkedIn MCP server works in Claude. Add Manifold under Settings, then Connectors, as a custom connector with https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp, sign in, and ask Claude about LinkedIn posts, profiles and company pages. It works the same way in ChatGPT and Cursor. Claude setup guide
What is LinkedIn’s remote MCP server URL?
LinkedIn has none, because it publishes no MCP server. Third-party remote servers each have their own URL. Manifold’s is https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp, over streamable HTTP, with OAuth sign-in or an API key.
Can this get my LinkedIn account restricted?
No LinkedIn account is involved. Manifold reads public LinkedIn data through a data provider, so nothing runs as you and there is no cookie to paste. Servers that drive your own logged-in session do risk it: LinkedIn’s user agreement forbids automated access to accounts.
What can my agent look up on LinkedIn?
Posts that mention a keyword, a person’s public profile, a company page and its recent posts, and any single post with its details. What each LinkedIn tool returns
Which clients does it work with?
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that connects to a remote MCP server. Sign in with OAuth, or use an API key from the dashboard for scripts. Setup guides for every client
Can it find someone’s email from their LinkedIn profile?
Not from LinkedIn itself, which does not show emails. The people tools find and verify a work email from a name and a company, and charge only a little when there is none. Apollo MCP alternative
