# LinkMCP

> The LinkedIn access layer for AI agents. Search profiles, read posts, manage messages, and enrich leads - all over MCP, from any agent or AI client.

LinkMCP is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents and assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf full access to LinkedIn. Build on the API directly, or connect an existing AI client: generate an access token, point your agent at the MCP endpoint, and it can look up profiles, read posts, send messages, search for people, and more.

No code required. Just describe what you want in plain English.

LinkMCP is an independent product of Third Person Systems LLC. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn.
