LinkedIn Personal MCP connector

The LinkedIn Personal connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or the Elaichi Agent draft, publish, edit and remove posts on your LinkedIn profile, with images, videos and documents attached, under your own LinkedIn sign-in and a full audit log.

  • How it connects. Connects over OAuth. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

ElaichiTools
Tool Action Description
List all LinkedIn Personal me List Get the connected member's OpenID Connect profile from LinkedIn's userinfo endpoint. Takes no input. LinkedIn returns one object, so the result is a list with one item. Use `sub` to build the member's person URN, `urn:li:person:{sub}`. `email` and `email_verified` are optional claims and can be missing.
Create a LinkedIn Personal post Create Publish a post to the connected member's own LinkedIn feed. The author is set for you to `urn:li:person:{sub}`; do not send `author`. Send `commentary` and a `visibility` of PUBLIC (default) or CONNECTIONS. For media, upload first with images.create, videos.create then videos.complete, or documents.create, and pass the URN in `content.media.id`. For a link preview send `content.article`. Returns `id`, the new post URN, copied from LinkedIn's `x-restli-id` response header. Pass it unchanged to posts.update and posts.delete.
Update a LinkedIn Personal post by ID Update Edit one of the connected member's posts by its URN. Send only the fields to change, as flat fields. Truto builds LinkedIn's partial-update request from them (a POST with `X-RestLi-Method: PARTIAL_UPDATE` and a `{"patch": {"$set": {...}}}` body). LinkedIn lets these fields change: commentary, contentCallToActionLabel, contentLandingPage and lifecycleState. Sponsored-content fields are not exposed. Pass `id` as the plain post URN, such as urn:li:share:6844785523593134080. Truto URL-encodes it. Send at least one field. Returns an empty 204 on success.
Delete a LinkedIn Personal post by ID Delete Delete one of the connected member's posts by its URN. Pass `id` as the plain post URN, such as urn:li:ugcPost:12345 or urn:li:share:12345. Truto URL-encodes it. Deletion is idempotent: deleting a post that is already gone still returns an empty 204. Required: id.
Create a LinkedIn Personal image Create Start an image upload for the connected member (LinkedIn's initializeUpload action). Send no body: the owner is set for you to `urn:li:person:{sub}`. Returns `value.uploadUrl`, `value.uploadUrlExpiresAt` and `value.image`, the image URN to use in posts.create as `content.media.id`. This call only registers the image. Upload the file yourself, outside Truto, by sending a PUT of the binary to `uploadUrl` with the member's bearer token. JPG, GIF and PNG, under 36,152,320 pixels; GIFs up to 250 frames.

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

A schedule turns recent posts into a digest.

Posts are fetched, grouped and drafted into a digest a person approves before it publishes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect LinkedIn Personal to Claude?

Connect LinkedIn Personal in Elaichi first: you are sent to LinkedIn's normal sign-in page, approve access, and come back. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on it can work with your LinkedIn Personal profile.

Does LinkedIn Personal work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. The LinkedIn Personal connection you make in Elaichi is reached through the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect LinkedIn Personal once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my LinkedIn Personal account?

With LinkedIn Personal connected, an agent can look up your own profile, write and publish a post, edit a post you already published, and delete one. It can also attach an image, a video or a document such as a PDF to a post. Short, concrete asks work best, for example "post this photo with a two-line caption" rather than a long paragraph of instructions.

Does connecting LinkedIn Personal give the AI access to more than my own profile?

No. LinkedIn Personal access follows the person who signed in, so the agent can only post, edit and delete on that person's own profile, exactly as they could themselves on LinkedIn. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what LinkedIn already allows the signed-in person.

Can my team share one LinkedIn Personal connection?

Yes. One person connects LinkedIn Personal in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles a LinkedIn credential. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every post published through the shared LinkedIn Personal connection is recorded in the audit log under the name of the person who asked for it.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing posts in LinkedIn Personal?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow publishing to LinkedIn Personal while blocking edits or deletions. A restricted action is left out of the list the AI client receives, so it cannot be called no matter how the prompt is worded.

What happens to a LinkedIn Personal connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to LinkedIn Personal and every other connected application at once. A LinkedIn Personal connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want it gone entirely, disconnecting LinkedIn Personal once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.

Does the LinkedIn Personal MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. LinkedIn Personal is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for LinkedIn Personal?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use LinkedIn Personal. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every LinkedIn Personal call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for LinkedIn Personal?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to LinkedIn Personal: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
