Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Manage LinkedIn messages, connections, posts, and profile data through Linked API.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Marketing & social media
  • You need to fill in: LINKED_API_TOKEN, IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN, linked-api-token, identification-token

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: LINKED_API_TOKEN, IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN, linked-api-token, identification-token

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@linkedapi/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LINKED_API_TOKEN": "your-value",
        "IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http linkedapi https://mcp.linkedapi.io/mcp --header 'linked-api-token: your-value' --header 'identification-token: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add linkedapi --env LINKED_API_TOKEN=your-value --env IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN=your-value -- npx -y @linkedapi/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedapi": {
      "url": "https://mcp.linkedapi.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "linked-api-token": "your-value",
        "identification-token": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@linkedapi/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LINKED_API_TOKEN": "your-value",
        "IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "linkedapi": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.linkedapi.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "linked-api-token": "your-value",
        "identification-token": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "linkedapi": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@linkedapi/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LINKED_API_TOKEN": "your-value",
        "IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Common questions

Is Linked API safe?

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.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LINKED_API_TOKEN, IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN, linked-api-token, identification-token

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.3.21) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Linked API MCP server connects your LinkedIn account to AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code. Ask them to search for leads, send messages, analyze profiles, and much more – they'll handle it through our cloud browser, safely and automatically.

Use cases

  • Sales automation assistant. Ask your AI to find leads, check their profiles, and draft personalized outreach. It can search for "software engineers at companies with 50-200 employees in San Francisco", analyze their backgrounds, and suggest connection messages that actually make sense.
  • Recruitment assistant. Let your assistant search for candidates with specific skills, review their experience, and send initial outreach. It handles the time-consuming parts while you focus on actually talking to people.
  • Conversation assistant. Your AI can read your existing LinkedIn conversations and help you respond naturally. It understands the context of your chats, suggests relevant replies, and can even send follow-up messages.
  • Market research assistant. Need competitor analysis? Your assistant can gather data about companies, their employees, and recent activities. Get insights about industry trends without spending hours on LinkedIn.

Get started

To start using Linked API MCP, spend 2 minutes reading these essential guides:

  1. Installation – set up MCP in Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf.
  2. Available tools – explore all the LinkedIn tools your assistant can call.
  3. Usage examples – see real-world examples to get you started quickly.

Long-running actions

Linked API actions run through a cloud browser and are queued like normal automation. Many actions take several minutes, especially searches and profile fetches with optional data.

If a tool returns status, workflowId, operationName, and message, the action is still running. Do not retry the original tool because that can queue duplicate work. Call get_workflow_result with the exact workflowId and operationName until the final result is returned. By default get_workflow_result long-polls until the workflow completes or the current MCP client's request budget elapses; pass waitSeconds: 0 for an immediate single-shot snapshot.
