# The LinkedIn MCP that works for your team Connect your network to your favorite AI and ask it anything. Plain English in, the right people out. No scraping, no code, no risk to your account. Works on the LeadDelta Business plan ## What is a LinkedIn MCP? MCP — the Model Context Protocol — is the standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to outside tools and data. A LinkedIn MCP connects your LinkedIn network to your AI, so you can search and act on it in plain language. LinkedIn 7,842 connections - Alex Rivera1st - Priya Shah1st - Ken Watanabe1st LeadDelta workspace organized · tagged · enriched InvestorsYC foundersNotesEnriched MCP server `mcp.leaddelta.com/mcp` Claude Live ChatGPT Live Perplexity Live ## Talk to your network like it’s a database Once connected, your whole LinkedIn network becomes searchable in plain English — across everything LeadDelta knows about each connection. - Show me every connection who's a CTO or VP of Engineering at a Series B+ company. - Who in my network works in the AI space, director-level or above, in the US? - Break my network down by industry. - Find warm leads I haven't spoken to in six months and draft a reconnection message for the top 10. - Who are my VPs of Sales — and research their current company's latest news. > “One LeadDelta user asked Claude a single question about their network and surfaced 47 perfect-fit warm intros they’d forgotten about — then had personalized reconnection drafts for the top 10 in about three minutes.” ## Every other LinkedIn MCP scrapes. Ours doesn’t. Search “LinkedIn MCP server” and you’ll find a wall of open-source projects that log into LinkedIn as you and scrape it with Selenium or a headless browser. They work — until LinkedIn notices, and your account pays for it. They also need a terminal, a Python environment, and an afternoon. LeadDelta’s LinkedIn MCP asks nothing of LinkedIn at runtime. Your connections are already in LeadDelta — organized, tagged, enriched. The MCP simply lets your AI read that data on demand. No live scraping. No code. No self-hosting. You connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity in a few clicks. **Open-source scrapers** - Logs into LinkedIn as you, every query - Selenium / headless browser automation - Account restriction risk - Terminal, Python, an afternoon **LeadDelta MCP** - Reads your organized LeadDelta data - Zero LinkedIn calls at runtime - Account-safe by design - Connect in a few clicks — no code ## Bring your network to Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity One connector.

If you want your network in your AI in five minutes without risking your account, that’s us. ## Your data stays yours Read-only by design. Built on the same no-scrape model as the rest of LeadDelta. ### Stays in your workspace Your connections never leave your LeadDelta workspace. The AI reads on demand — it doesn't independently store your network. ### Revocable API key Authorize the connection with a key you create in Integrations and can revoke any time. ### Safe workflow automation Run campaigns on daily limits. No scraping, only human-alike, personalized workflow automation. ## Questions? We’ve got answers. ### Does LinkedIn have an official MCP server? No. LinkedIn doesn't offer one. The LinkedIn MCP servers you'll find are either open-source projects that scrape your live session (an account-restriction risk) or tools like LeadDelta that read a network you've already organized — no scraping involved. ### Is there a LinkedIn MCP for Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity? Yes — LeadDelta works with all three. Add LeadDelta as a custom connector in Claude's settings, find the LeadDelta GPT in the GPT Store, or add it as a remote MCP connector in Perplexity to combine your network with live web search. It's one connector and the same network in every one of them. ### Is a LinkedIn MCP safe? Will it get my account banned? It depends entirely on how it gets its data. Open-source servers log into LinkedIn as you and scrape it on every query, which is the behaviour that gets accounts restricted. LeadDelta's MCP makes zero LinkedIn calls at runtime — it reads the connections already synced into your LeadDelta workspace, so there's nothing for LinkedIn to flag. ### What can I ask my network? Anything you'd ask a well-organized database, in plain English: "Show me every connection who's a CTO or VP of Engineering at a Series B+ company", "Break my network down by industry", or "Find warm leads I haven't spoken to in six months and draft a reconnection message for the top 10." Because it reads your LeadDelta data, it can also use your tags, notes and enriched fields — not just public profile text.
