How to Connect LinkedIn to SuperSocial MCP

Why Connect LinkedIn to Your AI Assistant?

LinkedIn is where professional relationships happen — outreach, recruiting, sales conversations, partnerships, and networking. But keeping up with every message, connection request, and follow-up is a full-time job. When you connect LinkedIn to SuperSocial MCP, your AI assistant gets direct access to your LinkedIn messaging. It can read conversations, send replies, look up profiles, and help you stay on top of every thread without you switching between apps.

This is not a chatbot that posts on your behalf. SuperSocial MCP gives your AI tools — specific, scoped actions — that it can call when you ask. You stay in control. The AI proposes, you approve, and the message gets sent through your real LinkedIn account.

What You Need Before You Start

• A LinkedIn account with an active login
• A SuperSocial account — you can start a free trial with no credit card required
• An MCP-compatible AI client like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Gemini CLI (see our setup guides for configuration)

Step-by-Step: Connect LinkedIn in 3 Minutes

Step 1: Log Into the SuperSocial Dashboard

Go to app.getsupersocial.me/login and sign in with your SuperSocial account. If you do not have one yet, you can create a free trial account right from the login page. The free trial gives you 24 hours of full access with one connected account — no credit card needed.

Step 2: Add a New Account

From your dashboard, click Add Account. You will see a list of supported messaging platforms — LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and email. Choose LinkedIn.

Step 3: Sign Into LinkedIn

A secure OAuth window will open asking you to sign into your LinkedIn account. Enter your LinkedIn credentials directly with LinkedIn — SuperSocial never sees or stores your LinkedIn password. The connection uses LinkedIn's own authorization flow, so your credentials stay between you and LinkedIn.

Step 4: Confirm and You Are Done

Once you authorize the connection, you will be redirected back to the SuperSocial dashboard. Your LinkedIn account will appear in your connected accounts list, and your recent conversations will begin syncing automatically. That is it — your AI assistant can now work with your LinkedIn messages.

What Your AI Can Do With LinkedIn Connected

Once LinkedIn is linked, your AI assistant gains access to six powerful tools through the MCP server. Here is what each one does:

List Conversations

The list_chats tool lets your AI retrieve your recent LinkedIn conversations. You can ask things like "Show me my latest LinkedIn messages" or "Who messaged me on LinkedIn today?" and the AI will pull up a list of active threads with names, timestamps, and previews.

Read Messages

With get_conversation, your AI can open any specific conversation and read through the full message history. This is essential for context — the AI can understand what has already been said before drafting a reply.

Send Messages

The send_message tool lets your AI compose and send LinkedIn messages on your behalf. This works for regular messages and InMail. You can tell the AI something like "Reply to Sarah's last message thanking her for the introduction" and it will draft and send the response through your LinkedIn account.

React to Messages

Using react_to_message, your AI can add reactions to specific messages in a conversation. A quick acknowledgment without typing a full reply — useful for keeping conversations warm.

Look Up LinkedIn Profiles

The get_linkedin_profile tool is one of the most valuable features for sales and recruiting workflows. Your AI can pull up any LinkedIn profile and retrieve the person's name, headline, location, work experience, education, skills, and connections count. This means your AI can research a prospect before you send an outreach message, or summarize a candidate's background during a recruiting pipeline review. Note that LinkedIn applies a daily rate limit to profile lookups, so the AI will use this tool thoughtfully.

Search Contacts

With search_contacts, your AI can find specific people across your connected accounts. Looking for everyone named "Alex" you have chatted with? The AI can surface those contacts instantly.

LinkedIn-Specific Features

LinkedIn messaging has a few features that set it apart from other platforms, and SuperSocial MCP handles all of them:

• InMail support — Your AI can read and respond to InMail messages, not just regular conversations. This is critical for sales and recruiting workflows where prospects reach out via InMail.
• Group chats — LinkedIn group conversations are fully supported. Your AI can read and participate in multi-person threads.
• Connection request context — When someone sends a connection request with a note, your AI can see and respond to that context.

Security and Privacy

Your LinkedIn connection is secured through OAuth, which means SuperSocial never has access to your LinkedIn password. The MCP server authenticates using a token that LinkedIn provides, and that token is encrypted at rest. All communication between your AI client and the SuperSocial MCP server happens over HTTPS. Your data is hosted in the EU with full GDPR compliance, and you can disconnect your LinkedIn account at any time from the dashboard.

Practical Use Cases

Once LinkedIn is connected, here are a few things you can ask your AI to do:

• "Summarize my unread LinkedIn messages from this week"
• "Draft a follow-up to my conversation with David about the partnership"
• "Look up the profile of the person who just messaged me and give me a quick summary"
• "Reply to all pending LinkedIn messages with a polite acknowledgment"
• "Find all LinkedIn conversations where someone mentioned pricing"

Each of these becomes a simple, natural-language request. The AI handles the tool calls, assembles the context, and either acts or asks for your confirmation before sending.

Pricing

You can connect LinkedIn and test all features during the free 24-hour trial — one account, no credit card. After that, the Pro plan at €12/month gives you full access to connect multiple accounts across LinkedIn and all other supported platforms.
