LinkedIn MCP server

A server that exposes LinkedIn capabilities — searching people, sending invites, managing an inbox — as typed tools an AI agent like Claude can call through the Model Context Protocol. The agent is the brain; the MCP server is the hands.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) launched in November 2024 and became the standard way agents reach external systems — by April 2026 there were more than 9,400 public MCP servers. A LinkedIn MCP server matters because it moves outreach from dashboards to conversation: you describe an outcome, the agent calls the tools. The safety-critical detail is what the server enforces on its side — rate caps, warm-up ramps, and approval gates — because the agent will do whatever the tools allow.

LinkedBoost is the LinkedIn MCP for Claude — agent-run outreach with enforced limits and a human trigger on every send. See how it works →
