Tools & capabilities
Linkedin MCP Server tools 20
get_person_profileGet a specific person's LinkedIn profile.search_peopleSearch for people on LinkedIn.connect_with_personSend a LinkedIn connection request or accept an incoming one. The tool is annotated with destructiveHint so MCP clients will prompt for user confirmation before execution.get_sidebar_profilesGet profile links from sidebar recommendation sections on a LinkedIn profile page. Extracts profiles from "More profiles for you", "Explore premium profiles", and "People you may know" sidebar sections. Follows "Show all" links to return the full list from each section. Sections that redirect to linkedin.com/premium are skipped.get_my_profileGet the authenticated user's own LinkedIn profile. Navigates to /in/me/ and resolves the redirect to obtain the real username before reading the profile, so the url field in the result is the actual profile URL (e.g. linkedin.com/in/johndoe/) rather than /in/me/.get_company_profileGet a specific company's LinkedIn profile.get_company_postsGet recent posts from a company's LinkedIn feed.search_companiesSearch for companies on LinkedIn.get_company_employeesList employees at a company from the LinkedIn /people/ page, including the demographics aggregate that this view exposes: where employees live, where they studied, and a function breakdown (Engineering, Sales, Operations, etc.). The demographics are unique to this tool. For filtered search by network degree (1st/2nd/3rd) or location, prefer search_people with current_company set to the company URN id. That path also returns more result pages than the /people/ tab. The optional keywords filter narrows results by name, title, or skill. company_name must be the exact LinkedIn URL slug (the path segment after /company/), not the display name. LinkedIn assigns unique slugs and the display name often does not match. For example, the AI lab Anthropic lives at /company/anthropicresearch/, not /company/anthropic/. If you are unsure of the slug, call search_companies first and pick the slug from the returned references.get_job_detailsGet job details for a specific job posting on LinkedIn.get_job_apply_urlGet how a job posting takes applications, and the employer's application link. Reads the posting without clicking anything.search_jobsSearch for jobs on LinkedIn. Returns job_ids that can be passed to get_job_details for full info.- +8 more on the listing page

get_social_mediaThe post's facts and media — contentType, title, caption, author, stats, direct media URLs, plus an inline thumbnail. Use when you want the post itself and nothing interpreted.get_post_transcriptThe words actually spoken. Where the platform publishes a caption track (TikTok, Douyin, YouTube) it is read as-is — exact rather than inferred, without processing the video; everywhere else, and where a caption track is missing, the post's own audio is transcribed on the same call (posts up to 30…get_post_framesFrames sampled evenly across a post's video, returned as **images you can actually look at** — not a description of them. ffmpeg opens the stream directly rather than downloading it, so HLS works and an expired link is re-resolved on the spot. Verified live at 3/3 on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Dou…get_post_commentsTop comments plus the themes the platform clusters them into, with which ones the creator pinned or liked. Use when you want to read what people wrote.analyze_post_fastThe post's transcript, caption and stats — everything but the pictures. Two fetches: `get_social_media` (1) and `get_post_transcript` (1). Use when the words and numbers answer the question.analyze_postFrames sampled across the video, as **images your model can actually look at**, plus the transcript. Two fetches: `get_post_frames` (2) and `get_post_transcript` (1). Use when the visuals are the point — framing, editing, on-screen text.understand_social_postThe same two fetches, asked for a description of what physically happens on screen rather than why it works. Use when you need the events, not the strategy.summarize_post_commentsThe comment section, every comment with a stable id, and the taxonomy to label them with — sentiment, and whether each is praise, a complaint, a bug report, a question, a request, a comparison or spam. The same `get_post_comments` call, at the same price as reading them directly. Pass `verbatim: tr…show_comment_reviewDraws the classifications your model produced — every comment with its sentiment and category, filterable and selectable. Makes no requests; it only renders what you pass it.show_post_analysisDraws the analysis your model wrote from `analyze_post`/`analyze_post_fast`/`understand_social_post` — hook strength, script structure, quotable lines, suggested hashtags and more, whichever fields you produced. Makes no requests; it only renders what you pass it.compare_social_postsThe first of two to five posts, fetched with its stats, and the comparison left to you. Fetch the rest with `get_social_media` at 1 credit each. Use when performance differs and you need to know why.show_compared_postsDraws the comparison your model wrote from `compare_social_posts` — each post scored, the winner marked, what differed and the next test worth running. Makes no requests; it only renders what you pass it.- +68 more on the listing page
