# Connect LinkedIn to your AI agent

> Yes — ClawLink is a hosted LinkedIn MCP server. 10 tools your agent can call from chat, with one-click hosted OAuth and nothing to run locally.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hub/linkedin

ClawLink hosts a managed LinkedIn MCP server that exposes 10 tools to your AI agent. You connect LinkedIn in one click, and your agent can read, create, and update LinkedIn data from chat without you building or running a local MCP server.

## Quick facts

- 10 tools callable from chat
- One-click hosted OAuth
- Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any MCP client
- No local server or config files

## Overview

The usual path is: build auth, handle token refresh, wire up the tools. With ClawLink you connect LinkedIn once and start using the real actions from the agent.

## Setup

LinkedIn uses OAuth. You connect it in the browser: click Connect, sign in, approve. ClawLink stores the token and refreshes it on its own. You never touch a key or wire up a redirect URL.

Authentication: hosted OAuth

## What you can do

- **Draft with live context** — The agent writes content and checks recent LinkedIn activity before you publish.
- **Handle engagement faster** — Review LinkedIn replies, comments, or performance and respond with better context.
- **Less manual publishing** — LinkedIn scheduling, reporting, and channel management become chat-driven.

## ClawLink vs. building it yourself

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Build it yourself. You register a developer app with LinkedIn, set up redirect URLs, handle the consent screen, store and refresh access tokens, and redo the wiring when scopes change. | Hosted hosted OAuth. Connect once in the browser. ClawLink owns the lifecycle. |
| Maintenance | Token refresh, permission debugging, env config, every edge case. All yours. | ClawLink handles the plumbing. You focus on the workflow. |
| Time to first call | Days to weeks. Auth, storage, tool wiring, testing. Then the agent can act. | About two minutes from sign-up to the agent calling LinkedIn. |

## FAQ

### How do I connect LinkedIn to my AI agent?

Install ClawLink, open the dashboard, click Connect next to LinkedIn, and finish the hosted OAuth flow. Your agent can call LinkedIn from the next message. Two minutes, total.

### Is there a LinkedIn MCP server I can use?

Yes. ClawLink exposes LinkedIn as 10 tools your agent calls through a hosted MCP-compatible runtime. You don't run a local server or edit a config file. The tools are there the moment you connect.

### Do I need LinkedIn API credentials?

No separate API key. You sign in to LinkedIn through the normal OAuth flow and ClawLink handles the token after that.

### How much does it cost?

Your first integration is free, plus a 7-day trial of the full catalog. Paid plans unlock the rest of the library.

### Can I set this up from the terminal instead of the dashboard?

Yes. Run npx -y @useclawlink/cli login, then npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect linkedin. The first opens a browser to sign in to ClawLink. The second opens a browser to authorize LinkedIn. No API keys to create. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that runs shell commands.
