What you can do in the agent after LinkedIn is connected. Fold one open.

Each row is a thing you can say. The quote is the prompt — copy it into Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot.

What happens
A LinkedIn login opens. We attach the account to your workspace and detect Classic, Premium, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter.
Country on the connect page places the secure login nearby. No LinkedIn quota.

What happens
The agent calls start / list_chats and shows recent threads, plan, and a usage snapshot. It does not invent messages.
Inbox · Read and reply
Say this
What happens
check_new_messages diffs unread chats against the last snapshot.
Does not spend the messages quota.
Inbox · Read and reply
Say this
What happens
needs_reply scans recent chats and lists the last 5 where they spoke last: name, headline, time, their message.
Not the same as unread. If you already answered, they are out.

What happens
find_chat looks up their 1-to-1 threads from a profile URL, slug, or member id. It does not page the inbox.
A display name is not enough — use the profile from get_profile or search_people. Slugs cost a profile view; an ACo id does not.
Inbox · Read and reply

What happens
find_chat first if this is a new name. get_messages opens the chat. send_message replies, or starts a new chat from a profile URL / public id.
Confirm wording first. Counts toward messages (or message requests on a new chat).

What happens
get_profile returns name, headline, 1st/2nd/3rd degree, and the ids needed to message or connect.
Costs profile views (or Sales Nav profile views).
People · Look up and search
Say this
What happens
search_people rows include degree when LinkedIn sends it. Otherwise check_network looks up the list in one call.
Do not loop get_profile. check_network costs one classic profile view per person.
People · Look up and search
Say this
What happens
lookup_* tools resolve Sales Nav / Classic filter ids (location, company, title, …). search_people runs one page with those ids or with names we resolve.
Costs search results by page size. Ask for the next cursor if you want another page.

What happens
list_relations pages your connections and refreshes the count against the 30k cap.
Does not spend a LinkedIn action quota.

What happens
send_connection uses the provider id from get_profile. Confirm the note first.
Costs connection requests. A note on Classic also costs connection notes this month.
Outreach · Connect and InMail
Say this
What happens
list_invitations shows sent or received. handle_invitation accepts or declines a received invite (needs shared_secret from the list).
No LinkedIn quota.
Outreach · Connect and InMail
Say this
What happens
send_inmail prefetches the profile on the connected product. Sales Navigator and Recruiter spend those InMail credits and need a subject.
Classic InMail cap is 0 unless they can receive open InMail. Sales Navigator does not fall back to classic credits.
Outreach · Connect and InMail
Say this
What happens
create_post publishes the text (optional mentions, link preview, repost, or company page via as_organization). Omit as_organization to post as the personal profile. Add company pages at https://linkedmcp.xyz/linkedin. Confirm wording first.
Costs posts (day). get_post reads it back from a LinkedIn URL. Deleting a post is not available yet — delete it on LinkedIn.
Posts · Publish and engage
Say this
What happens
list_posts returns one page of posts for the connected account, a person, or a company page. Share links stay visible.
A person slug costs a profile view. Your own posts and an ACo id do not.

get_usage shows plan, caps used, and InMail credits.

What happens
invite emails them into this MCP workspace. Same LinkedIn accounts after they sign up.
Not a LinkedIn connection request.

list_post_comments reads the comments (or replies to one comment). comment_post publishes a comment, or a reply when comment_id is set. Confirm wording first.
