LinkedIn MCP servers and connectors for Claude: what's out there

LinkedIn doesn't publish an MCP server, so every LinkedIn connector you can add to Claude is someone else's product. Some run your own browser session, some run a browser in the cloud, and some never touch your account at all. We checked each one on its own site on 24 October 2026.

Short answer

Which LinkedIn MCP servers work with Claude?

The ones you can add today include Bingle's connector, which lets Claude work with your ranked leads, their signals and your sequences, plus other outreach tools' servers (HeyReach, La Growth Machine, Waalaxy and Reach MCP), the hosted Linked API, and the open-source stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server that runs on your machine. They differ most in how they reach your LinkedIn account: a vendor's app, a cloud browser you sign in to, or your own session cookie. Pick by that first, because LinkedIn's User Agreement bans automation and the account at risk is yours.

LinkedIn MCP servers you can add to Claude

Each entry says how it reaches LinkedIn, because that decides the risk to your account. Prices are the entry price on each site's own pricing page.

How we compared

We read each tool's own pricing, product and help pages on 24 October 2026 and kept only what those pages say, with links under Sources. We didn't run paid trials, so check anything that matters to you on a free trial before you buy.

We make Bingle, so weigh its entry and our pick with that in mind. The order isn't a ranking: each tool says who it suits and where it falls short.

1. Reach MCP

Agencies wiring many client accounts to AI · From $20/mo for the first account

Reach MCP says it is built on Kanbox, a LinkedIn prospecting tool, and connects your LinkedIn and your clients' to Claude, ChatGPT, n8n or your own agents. It lists 60 LinkedIn tools (messaging, connections, Sales Navigator search, exports, post scheduling) and eight playbooks, such as turning post reactions into leads.

You install its Chrome extension and sign in; the site says the extension connects to your LinkedIn session, no password is shared, and uninstalling it revokes access. Anything that writes shows a numbered preview first, and only the numbers you approve go out. Pricing is $20 for the first account, $7 each up to ten and $5 after that, with a 7-day trial and no card.

Watch out for: It works through your live LinkedIn session in your browser, which is the kind of tool LinkedIn's prohibited-software page names.

2. La Growth Machine

LinkedIn plus email campaigns run from chat · From €50/mo per identity billed yearly (€60 monthly)

La Growth Machine has an official, open-source (Apache 2.0) MCP server at mcp.lagrowthmachine.com with 50 tools: 24 that read and 26 that act. It covers campaigns (build, launch, pause), audiences built from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator searches, replies on LinkedIn or email, and campaign stats. You sign in with OAuth, so there is no API key to paste.

The MCP is free on every plan and during the 14-day trial, which needs no card. Write actions such as sending or launching need your approval by default, and enrichment asks a second time after showing its credit cost.

Watch out for: Pricing is per identity (per LinkedIn sender), and the trial gives you one. Its "dedicated 5G mobile proxies" don't change LinkedIn's rules on automation.

3. Bingle

Asking Claude who to contact today, and why · 7 days free, no card; then from US$49/mo

Bingle is our LinkedIn outreach tool, and it has its own MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT. It watches buying signals (people liking or commenting on competitors' posts, engaging with yours, viewing your profile, changing jobs, hiring, raising money) and ranks people by fit and timing. Through the connector you ask in plain words: who should I contact today and why, why does this lead score 86 and that one 61, or write a first message from their signal without sending it.

Sending and spending credits stay off unless you tick them when you sign in. Even then, Claude shows exactly what goes to whom and waits for a yes. Text from LinkedIn posts, profiles and websites reaches the AI as data, so a post that says "ignore your rules" changes nothing. Bingle never sees your LinkedIn password, and it sends from your own profile in your working hours, inside LinkedIn's daily limits.

Copy the link from Settings > General in Bingle and add it as a custom connector (steps below). It comes with every plan, from Starter at US$49/mo; see pricing.

Watch out for: It is LinkedIn only: no email sequences and no contact database. The connector works on your Bingle workspace (leads, signals, ICP, sequences), so if you want Claude to browse LinkedIn freely, a general server fits better. Automated sending is still a third-party tool acting on your account; you can switch automatic sending off and send each step by hand from Today's sends.

4. HeyReach

Many LinkedIn senders under one roof · From $79/mo per sender ($64 billed yearly)

HeyReach lists its MCP server in the Growth plan, alongside its API and webhooks. In HeyReach you open Integrations, create an MCP key and copy the connection URL; in Claude you add it as a custom connector and paste your workspace API key when asked.

The entry plan is $79 a month per sender, or $64 a seat billed yearly, with a 14-day trial and no card.

Watch out for: The help article doesn't list the MCP's tools, so test the actions you need on the trial.

5. Waalaxy

Feeding prospects into existing Waalaxy campaigns · MCP from €49/user/mo (Advanced, yearly billing shown)

Waalaxy's docs list MCP tools to read your prospect lists and campaigns and to add prospects to a list or campaign. It signs in with OAuth through a magic link, and API keys from Waalaxy's REST API do not work with it. Waalaxy also says it appears in Claude's built-in connector list, so you may not need the URL at all.

The MCP is only on the Advanced and Business plans. On the pricing page as it loads (yearly billing selected), Advanced is €49 per user a month with 800 invitations a month and a 14-day trial.

Watch out for: The documented tools read and import. Adding prospects to a campaign is how outreach starts, but you can't write or edit messages from Claude with them. The €19 Pro plan doesn't include the MCP.

6. Linked API

Developers who want a general LinkedIn toolset · From US$49/mo per seat billed yearly (US$69 monthly)

Linked API calls itself an unofficial LinkedIn MCP server. It runs actions through a dedicated cloud browser on an account you own: you sign in to LinkedIn yourself inside that browser, and it says it never stores your password. It works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor and others, and covers people and company search, messages and profile data.

Its safety page says you set caps per action type (daily, weekly and monthly), and when one is hit the system stops and returns an error. One seat is one LinkedIn account. Core is US$69 a month, or US$588 a year, with a 7-day trial.

Watch out for: It is a toolbox, not a prospecting product: no lead scoring or signal watching, so Claude does the thinking and you write the rules.

7. stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server

Technical users happy to run it themselves · Free, open source (Apache 2.0)

This is the open-source LinkedIn MCP server most roundups point to, with about 4,000 GitHub stars on 24 October 2026. It has 20 tools: read profiles and companies, search people, jobs and posts, read your feed and inbox, send a connection request with an optional note, and send a message after confirmation. It installs with uvx, a Claude Desktop bundle, a Claude Code plugin or Docker.

It drives your own browser session. You either log in through a browser window it opens or import LinkedIn cookies from a browser you're already signed in to, and the session is stored on your machine.

Watch out for: Its own FAQ says it plainly: "LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits automated access, and accounts using automated tools can be restricted or banned." Anyone who gets that stored session can act as you, and its HTTP mode has no authentication of its own.

Our pick

If the question you want Claude to answer is "who should I contact today, and what should I say", Bingle is our pick. Its connector works on leads Bingle has already found and ranked from LinkedIn signals, so Claude doesn't have to browse LinkedIn on your session cookie to get there.

Does LinkedIn have its own MCP server?

No. We found nothing on LinkedIn's own sites on 24 October 2026, and Linked API's MCP page says the same: LinkedIn offers REST APIs, most of them behind partner approval, and no MCP server. So every option above is a third party, and each reaches LinkedIn in one of four ways.

How it reaches LinkedInExamplesWho holds your sessionMain risk
Your own browser session or cookiestickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server, Reach MCPYour machine or browser extensionLinkedIn sees automation on your real account; a leaked session lets someone act as you
A cloud browser you sign in toLinked APIThe vendor's isolated browserStill automation under LinkedIn's rules; you trust the vendor's pacing
A vendor app with an MCP on topBingle, HeyReach, La Growth Machine, WaalaxyThe vendor's appLinkedIn's rules apply to the app's sends; the MCP is a way to drive the app
Public data only, no accountSmacientNobody: your account isn't usedCan read public pages but can't send, connect or see your inbox

LinkedIn's help centre is blunt about the first three groups. Its prohibited-software page bans bots, browser plug-ins and extensions that "scrape, modify the appearance of, or automate activity" on the site, and says members who use them "risk having their accounts restricted or shut down". Its invitation page adds that repeated suspensions for automation can become permanent. A vendor's proxies and pacing don't change those rules; they only change how likely you are to be flagged.

Names you'll see in AI answers, checked

AI assistants asked for LinkedIn MCP servers often name these six. Here is what each one's own site said on 24 October 2026.

Clay, SyncGTM and Smacient help with research and enrichment next to a LinkedIn tool, but none of them sends a connection request.

How to add a custom connector in Claude

Anthropic's help centre (read 24 October 2026) gives these steps for Pro and Max. Custom connectors also work on Free, but Free is limited to one.

  1. Get the server URL from the tool. In Bingle it is in Settings > General.
  2. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
  3. Give it a name, paste the URL and click Continue.
  4. Check the sign-in settings Claude detects. Most outreach tools use OAuth (Sign in now); HeyReach asks for an API key instead.
  5. Click Add, sign in when asked, then in a chat click + at the lower left, open Connectors and switch it on for that conversation.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds the connector once under Organization settings > Connectors (Add, then Custom, then Web), and each person connects their own account from Customize > Connectors. Anthropic warns that custom connectors reach services it hasn't verified and that "malicious MCP servers may include hidden instructions", so read each tool-approval prompt before you allow it, especially the ones that send.

What to ask it once it's connected

Start with read-only questions. These work with Bingle, and most outreach tools have an equivalent:

  • Catch me up: what changed since yesterday and what needs me first. Don't send anything or spend credits without asking.
  • Show me today's best leads and why each one is a fit right now.
  • Why is this lead ranked above that one?
  • How many of this month's leads came from people engaging with competitors' posts?
  • Draft an opener for the top three from their signal, in my voice. Don't send it.

Then try one action you can check: one invite to someone you know. Before sending at volume, run drafts past our LinkedIn message checker and read how many connection requests LinkedIn allows.

What it costs for one person and for a team of three

Entry prices from each pricing page on 24 October 2026, for one LinkedIn account and for three. Claude's own plan is extra and not included.

stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server
FreeFree, but you run and secure each session yourself

A restricted account costs you a week of invitations at best, so weigh pacing as well as price. If you mainly want to know who to contact and why, read LinkedIn buying signals; and if you used Trigify, its standalone app closed on 22 October 2026.

What to check on a trial

  1. Find out where your LinkedIn session lives (your browser, a cloud browser or the vendor's app) and how to revoke it.
  2. Send one invite through Claude and confirm it asked first.
  3. Find the daily and weekly caps, and what happens when LinkedIn shows a warning.
  4. Ask for something it shouldn't do, like messaging a whole list at once, and see whether it stops.

Questions

Does LinkedIn have an official MCP server?

Not as of 24 October 2026. LinkedIn's developer platform offers REST APIs, mostly behind partner approval, so every LinkedIn MCP server for Claude is built by a third party.

Is it safe to give a LinkedIn MCP server my session cookie?

Your session cookie is your logged-in account, so whoever holds it can act as you until it expires or you sign out everywhere. LinkedIn's rules also ban tools that automate activity on your account, so cookie-based servers carry both a security risk and a restriction risk.

Can Claude send LinkedIn messages?

Only through a connector that has a send tool, such as Bingle, Reach MCP, La Growth Machine or the open-source stickerdaniel server. Most of them ask you to approve each send, and Bingle keeps sending off unless you allow it at sign-in.

Do I need a paid Claude plan to add a LinkedIn connector?

No. Anthropic allows custom connectors on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise, but Free is limited to one custom connector.

Do these work in ChatGPT and Claude Code too?

Several do. Bingle and La Growth Machine document ChatGPT setup through Developer mode and Linked API lists ChatGPT as a client; La Growth Machine, Linked API and the stickerdaniel server also work in Claude Code.
