Description from the maker (original English)
LinkedIn actions for AI agents: search, messaging, posts and invites, as hosted MCP tools.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:
https://app.curviate.com/mcpRun this in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http curviate https://app.curviate.com/mcpPaste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

"mcpServers": {
"curviate": {

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

Point any MCP client that speaks remote Streamable HTTP at one URL:
https://app.curviate.com/mcp
Sign in with OAuth where the client offers it, otherwise send your Curviate API key as an Authorization: Bearer header. Your agent then has LinkedIn search, messaging, posts and connection requests as native tools. Sales Navigator and Recruiter tools are off by default and switch on per workspace, and they answer only for a connected account that holds the product: see Toolsets.
You need a Curviate workspace and one connected LinkedIn account. Full walkthrough: MCP quickstart.
Claude Code
OAuth:
claude mcp add --transport http curviate https://app.curviate.com/mcp
Then run /mcp in Claude Code, select curviate, choose Authenticate, and approve access in the browser.
API key:
claude mcp add --transport http curviate https://app.curviate.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $CURVIATE_API_KEY"
Your shell expands $CURVIATE_API_KEY when you run that command, so the key itself lands in Claude Code's config file. Prefer the OAuth path above unless you need a key.
Check either setup with claude mcp list: curviate reads Connected.
Details and caveats: docs.curviate.com/reference/mcp/client-setup#claude-code
Codex
OAuth:
codex mcp add curviate --url https://app.curviate.com/mcp
Codex prints an authorization URL. Open it, sign in to Curviate, and approve access. To sign in again later, run codex mcp login curviate.
API key, read from the environment each time Codex connects:
codex mcp add curviate --url https://app.curviate.com/mcp \
--bearer-token-env-var CURVIATE_API_KEY
Check with codex mcp list.
Details and caveats: docs.curviate.com/reference/mcp/client-setup#codex
Gemini CLI
OAuth:
gemini mcp add --transport http curviate https://app.curviate.com/mcp
Then start gemini, run /mcp auth curviate, open the printed URL, sign in to Curviate, and approve access.
API key:
gemini mcp add --transport http curviate https://app.curviate.com/mcp \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ${CURVIATE_API_KEY}'
Keep the single quotes: Gemini CLI stores ${CURVIATE_API_KEY} as written and fills it from the environment when it connects, so the key stays out of the settings file.
Check with gemini mcp list: curviate reads Connected. Gemini CLI will not start MCP servers in a folder you have not trusted, where the server reads Disabled instead.
Details and caveats: docs.curviate.com/reference/mcp/client-setup#gemini-cli
Another client
Any client that speaks remote Streamable HTTP can connect. Try OAuth with the bare URL first, then the Authorization: Bearer header. A client that connects but fails tool calls with 401 is usually sending the header only on connect: see Troubleshooting.
| Method | Use it when |
|---|---|
| OAuth 2.1 | The client supports it. Always the first choice: no key leaves the dashboard, and you revoke the client on its own under Settings, Authorized applications. |
| `Authorization: Bearer cvt_live_YOUR_KEY` | The client can set a header but has no OAuth, or runs unattended. |
| `?token=cvt_live_YOUR_KEY` | Last resort, for a client that can set no header. The header wins if a request carries both. |
Your API key is a full-access workspace credential: anyone holding it can act on every LinkedIn account in the workspace. Create, rotate and revoke it from the key chip in the dashboard top bar, keep it in an environment variable, and reference the variable from the client config rather than the literal key.
