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, and read your analytics, 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. --- ## Contents - [Remote Taplio MCP Server](#remote-taplio-mcp-server) - [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) - [Installation](#installation) - [Claude Code](#claude-code) - [Claude Desktop / claude.ai connectors](#claude-desktop--claudeai-connectors) - [VS Code](#vs-code) - [Cursor](#cursor) - [Windsurf](#windsurf) - [Generic MCP config](#generic-mcp-config) - [Authentication](#authentication) - [Toolsets](#toolsets) - [Tools](#tools) - [Profile](#profile) - [Drafts](#drafts) - [Publishing](#publishing) - [Posts](#posts) - [Analytics](#analytics) - [Inspiration](#inspiration) - [Recommended workflow](#recommended-workflow) - [Library and lifecycle model](#library-and-lifecycle-model) - [Limits and safety](#limits-and-safety) - [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [License](#license) --- ## 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. | Property | Value | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | Transport | Streamable HTTP (remote) | | Endpoint | `https://mcp.taplio.com` | | Authentication | OAuth 2.0 (authorize in the browser, no API key to paste) | | Scope | The authenticated user's own Taplio + LinkedIn account | | Server hint | Call [`get_me`](#get_me) first to load identity and settings | > 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](https://taplio.com) account with LinkedIn connected. 2. An MCP-capable host (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code with Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or any client that speaks MCP over HTTP). 3. A browser available on first connect, to complete the OAuth authorization. --- ## Installation ### Claude Code ```bash 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 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. ### VS Code Add to your user or workspace MCP configuration (`.vscode/mcp.json`): ```json { "servers": { "taplio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.taplio.com" } } } ``` ### Cursor In `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or **Settings -> MCP -> Add**): ```json { "mcpServers": { "taplio": { "url": "https://mcp.taplio.com" } } } ``` ### Windsurf In `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "taplio": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.taplio.com" } } } ``` ### Generic MCP config Any client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP can use: ```json { "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. | Toolset | Description | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Profile** | Identity, content preferences, and current LinkedIn stats. | | **Drafts** | Create, read, list, edit, and delete unpublished post drafts. | | **Publishing** | Publish a draft now, schedule it, or unschedule it back to drafts. | | **Posts** | Browse scheduled, sending, and sent posts. | | **Analytics** | Account-level overview and per-post performance metrics. | | **Inspiration** | Search other creators' LinkedIn posts to model content on what works. | --- ## Tools ### Profile #### `get_me` Read this first to orient. Returns the user's identity and content preferences so you can tailor output to them and recognize their own posts: display name and LinkedIn `@handle` (a user may go by several aliases, so check both), plus `ai_settings` (industry, role, language, target audience, topics, keywords, description) and today's LinkedIn stats (followers, connections, profile views). _No parameters._ --- ### Drafts #### `create_draft` Create a new LinkedIn post draft (unpublished). Publish it later with `schedule_draft` or `publish_draft`. | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | `content` | string | yes | The text body of the draft. 1 to 3000 characters. | #### `get_draft` Fetch a single LinkedIn post draft by id. | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------ | | `id` | string | yes | The id of the draft (from `list_drafts`). | #### `list_drafts` List the user's unpublished LinkedIn post drafts. | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | `limit` | integer | no | Max drafts to return.

Use [`search_inspiration`](#search_inspiration) to ground new content in what is currently working in the niche. 3. Draft with [`create_draft`](#create_draft), iterate with [`update_draft`](#update_draft). 4. Ship with [`schedule_draft`](#schedule_draft) (preferred) or [`publish_draft`](#publish_draft) (immediate). 5. Report with [`get_analytics_overview`](#get_analytics_overview) and [`get_post_analytics`](#get_post_analytics), and cross-reference with [`list_posts`](#list_posts). --- ## Library and lifecycle model A **draft** and a **post** are the same item at different stages of its life: ``` create_draft ─┐ β”œβ”€> [ DRAFT ] ──schedule_draft──> [ scheduled ] ──(auto)──> [ sending ] ──> [ sent ] update_draft β”€β”˜ β”‚ β”‚ └──────publish_draft───────────┴──(immediate)──> [ sending ] ──> [ sent ] [ scheduled ] ──unschedule──> [ DRAFT ] ``` - Drafts live in the **drafts** list (`list_drafts`) and are the only editable stage. - Scheduling or publishing a draft turns it into a **post** and moves it to the **posts** list (`list_posts`). - `unschedule` moves a scheduled post back to drafts; a `sent` post cannot be un-sent. --- ## Limits and safety - **Post length:** 1 to 3000 characters (`create_draft`, `update_draft`). - **Scheduling:** `scheduled_for` must be at least 2 minutes in the future, ISO 8601, UTC recommended. - **Analytics range:** capped at 90 days per query; paginate with `cursor` for large result sets. - **Irreversible actions:** `publish_draft` goes live immediately and `delete_draft` is permanent. Confirm intent before calling either. - **Scope:** every tool acts only on the authenticated user's own Taplio and LinkedIn account. --- ## Troubleshooting - **Tools do not appear:** confirm the server URL is `https://mcp.taplio.com` and that you completed the OAuth browser step. Re-run `/mcp` (Claude Code) or reconnect the connector. - **`401` / auth errors:** your session may have expired or been revoked. Reconnect and re-authorize in the browser. - **Cannot edit a post:** only drafts are editable. If it is already scheduled, call `unschedule` first; if it is `sent`, it can no longer be changed. - **Empty analytics:** newly published posts take time to accumulate metrics; also check your date range against the 90-day cap. --- ## Contributing This repository documents the Taplio LinkedIn MCP Server.
