Connect LinkedIn to Claude

LinkedBoost is a hosted MCP server with 50 documented tools. Once connected, Claude can search your seat, import leads, draft sequences, and inspect your inbox. Review each external action and verify its completion in your workspace.

Before you connect

Have access to the Claude account where you will add the connector, a LinkedBoost workspace or sign-in, and a LinkedIn account you are authorized to operate. For an agency pilot, start with your own business-development account and a small audience you can review.

Adding the connector, connecting LinkedIn, and approving outreach are separate steps. Your Claude subscription and LinkedBoost plan also have separate terms. Review LinkedBoost pricing before choosing account capacity.

1
Add the connector
Click the button below. Claude opens with the LinkedBoost connector pre-filled: review it and click Add.
2
Sign in
Complete the Google sign-in when Claude asks. That creates your workspace.
3
Connect your LinkedIn
Tell Claude “connect my LinkedIn account.” Follow the returned connection link and complete authentication there. Do not paste passwords or session cookies into chat.
4
Check the account, then start a workflow
Ask for your workspace overview and connected-account status. Confirm the intended account before using the starter prompt. Review exact recipients and actions before outreach.

Add LinkedBoost to Claudeor add it manually:

https://mcp.linkedboost.ai/mcp

Claude → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → name it LinkedBoost, paste the URL.

The starter prompt

Paste this into Claude after connecting. Start with a small list and keep the first action in review.

I just connected LinkedBoost, my LinkedIn outreach engine.

First, interview me about my ICP and value prop: who I sell to, what I
offer, and why they should care. Save that to my workspace knowledge.

Then help me find 10 people who fit, check my interaction history,
and draft a short sequence in my voice. Show me the list and every
draft. Do not send anything until I choose a specific action.

You are connected when Claude answers with real workspace details, not merely when the connector shows as added. Ask it "what's in my workspace?" and expect the intended workspace and connected-account status back. An empty new workspace is fine; a generic explanation of LinkedBoost is not a connection check.

For the current connector settings and organization requirements, see Anthropic's custom connector guide.

On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan? An Owner may need to add the connector for your organization first: Admin settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, same URL as above.

If something breaks

Connector added but tools are missing. Check that LinkedBoost is connected and available in the current conversation. Reload Claude and retry the workspace overview. For an organization account, confirm connector access with its administrator.

"Sign-in required" loop. Finish sign-in in the browser window, return to Claude, and retry the workspace check. If your organization blocks authorization, ask its administrator to review access. Share the redacted error with support if the loop continues.

LinkedIn shows disconnected. Tell Claude "check my LinkedIn connection": it will hand you a secure reconnect link. This happens after LinkedIn password changes or active sessions being cleared.

Import is incomplete. Inspect the lead group and compare it with your source file. Keep uncertain records out of outreach until identities and prior contact reconcile. See the CSV checklist.

"Out of credits." Sends are not metered by LinkedBoost; sourcing and enrichment use credits. Ask Claude for your billing status and check the available options in your workspace.

Make the first result useful

For prospecting, ask for a shortlist with reasons to include or exclude each person. For inbox work, choose one existing thread and review a draft reply. Keep the first action specific: sender, recipient, text, and timing. After approval, inspect the sequence or activity result; queued does not mean sent.

LinkedIn prohibits unauthorized automation. Operator approval and account limits do not eliminate restriction risk. Read the LinkedIn User Agreement and account-risk guide before outreach.
