Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read LinkedIn outreach campaigns, contacts and replies, and manage campaign leads and targeting.

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: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.

Common questions

Is ZenMode 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

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.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 24 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?

ZenMode MCP server

ZenMode is LinkedIn outreach software. Its remote MCP server lets an AI assistant work with your ZenMode account in plain language: read campaigns, contacts and conversations, add or remove people in a campaign, pause or exclude a contact, and change who a campaign finds.

It works with Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients.

  • Server address: https://www.zen-mode.io/api/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Sign-in: approve the connection in your client (OAuth), or use a ZenMode API key as a Bearer token
  • Plan: Practitioner and above. The MCP server and the REST API are not on Novice.
  • Contact: hello@zen-mode.io
  • Official MCP Registry: io.zen-mode/zenmode

This repository holds documentation only. The server runs at the address above and its source is not published here.

What it can do

Twenty-two tools. Everything is scoped to the ZenMode account you sign in with.

Read

toolwhat it returns
get_account_summaryplan, whether the ZenMode desktop app has checked in recently, campaigns by status, and the last 30 days of results
list_campaignsyour campaigns with status, daily limit and results for a date window
get_campaignone campaign: type, status, daily limit, business hours, targeting, contacts per stage, results
search_contactscontacts across your campaigns by name, company, job title or LinkedIn URL
get_contactone contact: profile details, campaign, status, outreach state, do-not-contact status
get_conversationthe LinkedIn conversation history with one contact, oldest first
get_campaign_targetingwho a campaign is set to find
get_safety_statuswhat ZenMode's own limits say about the account right now
get_setup_statuswhere the account is in setup, and the next step
get_desktop_appthe desktop app download and install command
start_triala checkout link for the free 14-day trial (accounts with no plan only)

Change (each is marked as a change, so a client can ask you to confirm it)

toolwhat it does
add_leads_to_campaignadd up to 100 people to a campaign by LinkedIn profile URL; invalid URLs, your do-not-contact list, the campaign's exclusion list and duplicates are refused and reported per person
remove_leads_from_campaignremove up to 100 contacts from a campaign
set_contact_outreach_statepause a contact, put them on your do-not-contact list, or mark them not interested
update_campaign_targetingchange job titles, locations, industries and companies a campaign finds

Campaigns (paid plans)

toolwhat it does
validate_messagecheck a connection note or follow-up against ZenMode's message rules before it is saved; changes nothing
create_campaigncreate a connect campaign with a name, targeting and daily limit; always created paused
set_campaign_messageswrite a campaign's connection note and up to three follow-ups; the server checks each one again
launch_campaignstart a paused campaign in two calls: a preflight that changes nothing and returns a summary and a confirm token, then the same tool with that token after you say yes
resume_campaignthe same preflight for a paused campaign; it starts nothing
pause_campaignpause a running campaign
set_up_desktop_appwhat state the desktop app is in for your account and how to open, update or install it; changes nothing

What it cannot do

There is no tool that sends a LinkedIn message or a connection request. A campaign starts only through launch_campaign's two calls, after you confirm. Adding people to a campaign puts them in that campaign's worklist. ZenMode's desktop app then works through the list later, inside the account's daily and weekly limits and business hours, and only while the desktop app is running.

If the account is restricted, paused for the week, cooling down or switched off, a change that would widen who can be contacted is refused with the reason and when it lifts.

Set up

Claude (claude.ai)
  1. Open Customize → Connectors, click +, then Add custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web.
  2. Name it ZenMode and paste https://www.zen-mode.io/api/mcp. Leave the advanced OAuth settings empty.
  3. Click Connect. Sign in to ZenMode if asked, choose Read only (the default) or Read and change, pick the API key to connect with, and click Allow.
  4. In a new chat, open the + menu, go to Connectors, and switch ZenMode on.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http zenmode https://www.zen-mode.io/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ZENMODE_API_KEY"

Run claude mcp list to check it connected.

ChatGPT

Add ZenMode as a custom MCP server in ChatGPT, approve it on a ZenMode page, and keep the scopes on read only unless you want ChatGPT to make changes. Step by step, from a real run on a Plus account: https://www.zen-mode.io/integrations/chatgpt. Which ChatGPT plans can add a custom MCP server is up to OpenAI.

Cursor

Add ZenMode to Cursor (one-click install; it reads your key from the ZENMODE_API_KEY environment variable). Or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "zenmode": { "url": "https://www.zen-mode.io/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:ZENMODE_API_KEY}" } } } }

Set ZENMODE_API_KEY in your environment so the key is not stored in the file.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add this to your user mcp.json. VS Code asks for the key and keeps it out of the file:

{

"servers": { "zenmode": { "type": "http", "url": "https://www.zen-mode.io/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:zenmode-api-key}" } } }, "inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "zenmode-api-key", "description": "ZenMode API key", "password": true } ] }

Gemini CLI

Install the extension from this repository. It adds the server; Gemini CLI then asks you to sign in to ZenMode:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/zenmode87/zenmode-mcp

Or add the server yourself with an API key:

gemini mcp add --scope user --transport http -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ZENMODE_API_KEY" zenmode https://www.zen-mode.io/api/mcp

gemini mcp list

Create an API key in the ZenMode dashboard at https://www.zen-mode.io/dashboard/api. Revoking the key ends the connection.

Grok Build

This repository is also a Grok Build plugin: .grok-plugin/plugin.json and .mcp.json point Grok Build at the same server address. Sign in to ZenMode when it first connects.

Example prompts

  • "How are my LinkedIn campaigns doing over the last 30 days?" uses list_campaigns.
  • "Find everyone at Acme I've been talking to and show me the latest conversation." uses search_contacts, then get_conversation.
  • "Add these five LinkedIn profiles to my Q4 founders campaign and tell me if any were refused." uses add_leads_to_campaign.

Limits

Per ZenMode API key (a connection made through sign-in shares the budget of the key it uses):

  • 60 tool calls a minute
  • 10 changes a minute and 300 a day
  • 500 leads added per day, up to 100 per call
