Taplio for LinkedIn

Taplio LinkedIn MCP Server

The Taplio LinkedIn MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI tools directly to your Taplio account and, through it, to your LinkedIn presence. It gives AI agents, assistants, and chat clients the ability to draft, schedule, and publish LinkedIn posts, browse what you have already posted, research inspiration from other creators, read your analytics, and engage: find posts worth commenting on, draft comments and replies, like posts, and send connection requests, all through natural language.

Point your MCP host at the Taplio server and you can ask things like:

• "Draft a LinkedIn post about our new MCP launch and schedule it for Tuesday 9am."
• "Show me my last 10 posts and which one got the most impressions."
• "Find 20 high-performing posts about linkedin ghostwriting from creators under 50k followers."
• "How are my followers and engagement trending over the last 30 days?"

Use cases

• Turning raw ideas into publish-ready LinkedIn posts, on your own voice and topics.
• Automating draft creation, scheduling, and publishing from any MCP-capable client.
• Building AI-assisted content workflows and reporting on top of your real LinkedIn data.
• Extracting insights and analytics from your posting history without leaving your assistant.

Remote Taplio MCP Server

Taplio is offered as a hosted, remote MCP server. There is nothing to install or run locally: your MCP host connects to the Taplio endpoint over HTTP and authenticates with OAuth.

Because the server is remote and OAuth-based, you never copy a secret into a config file. Access is tied to

the Taplio account you approve in the browser, and can be revoked from Taplio at any time.

---

Prerequisites

1. An active Taplio account with LinkedIn connected.
2. An MCP-capable host (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Manus, VS Code with Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Grok, Mistral Le Chat, Raycast, or any client that speaks MCP over HTTP).
3. A browser available on first connect, to complete the OAuth authorization.

---

Installation

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http taplio https://mcp.taplio.com/

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and authorize taplio in the browser when prompted.

Claude Desktop / claude.ai connectors

One click: open this link to get the "Add custom connector" dialog already filled in with the Taplio name and URL, then click Add.

Or do it manually: in Claude Desktop or on claude.ai, open Settings -> Connectors -> Add custom connector, then enter:

• Name: Taplio
• URL: https://mcp.taplio.com/

Approve the OAuth screen. The Taplio tools then appear in the tool picker.

Manus

Taplio is a native Manus plugin: one click, no server URL to paste.

1. Open the Manus plugins directory.
2. Find Taplio and click Connect.
3. Sign in to your Taplio account and approve access.

The Taplio tools are then available in your Manus tasks.

VS Code

Add to your user or workspace MCP configuration (.vscode/mcp.json):

{

"servers": { "taplio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.taplio.com/" } } }

Cursor

In ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or Settings -> MCP -> Add):

{

"mcpServers": { "taplio": { "url": "https://mcp.taplio.com/" } } }

Windsurf

In ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "taplio": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.taplio.com/" } } }

Grok

On grok.com, open Plugins -> New Connector -> Custom, then enter:

• Name: Taplio
• Server URL: https://mcp.taplio.com/

Click Add Connector and approve the Taplio sign-in in the popup window. Mention Taplio in your prompt (for example "Use Taplio to give me my LinkedIn stats of the day") so Grok picks the connector.

Mistral Le Chat

In Le Chat, open Context -> Connectors -> Add connector -> Add a custom connector, then enter:

• Connector name: Taplio
• Server: https://mcp.taplio.com/

Authentication is detected automatically (OAuth 2.1). Click Add connector and approve the Taplio sign-in. If Le Chat answers that no Taplio connector is available, name the tool in your prompt (for example "Use the Taplio connector's get_me tool").

Raycast

Install the Model Context Protocol Registry extension, run Search Servers, keep the Official registry, search for taplio, and choose Install Server. Raycast connects over HTTP and opens the Taplio sign-in.

Smithery

Open smithery.ai/servers/taplio/linkedin-mcp, click Add to toolbox, then Authenticate on the Taplio connector in your toolbox.

Generic MCP config

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP can use:

{

"mcpServers": { "taplio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.taplio.com/" } } }

---

Authentication

The Taplio MCP Server uses OAuth 2.0. On first use your client opens a browser window where you log in to Taplio and approve access. The server then acts on behalf of that single account. No API keys, tokens, or LinkedIn credentials are stored in your client config. Revoke access at any time from your Taplio account settings.

---

Toolsets

The tools are grouped into functional toolsets. All of them operate on the authenticated user's own account.

---
