  5. Improved

    Post keys in comments and reactions

    linkedin_comment_on_post and linkedin_react_to_post accept lnkd.in short links and the post keys that the read tools return, such as postUrl and activityUrn. Not in ChatGPT.

  6. Improved

    Note limit on connection requests

  7. Improved

    Hints for searches

    People and job searches with "Europe" or "European Union" as the location, and company lookups by a name with a description, now get an answer that says what to try next. Not in ChatGPT.

  10. Fixed

    Sales Navigator search URLs

    Some Sales Navigator search URLs that LinkedIn refused now work in linkedin_search_sales_navigator, because LinkMCP sends them in a form that LinkedIn accepts.

  11. Improved

    Names in person inputs

    A person's name or email address in a field that needs a LinkedIn profile now gets a clear refusal at once, before any lookup. Not in ChatGPT.

    Connections of one person

    linkedin_search_people has a new connections_of input that searches the connections of one person, when that person shows their connection list. Not in ChatGPT.

    A person whose only workspace is their own trial, with no other members and no LinkedIn connection, can now join a team by invite. That trial workspace closes.

    When LinkedIn does not accept a sign-in, the connect page now says what to do, and you can start a new sign-in.

  22. Improved

    Names in conversations

    linkedin_list_conversations names the other person in each conversation, and linkedin_get_conversation_messages names the sender of each message. Not in ChatGPT.

  23. Improved

    Failed calls count toward limits

    A call that failed after it may have reached LinkedIn now counts toward the daily limits, and a "too many requests" answer from LinkedIn pauses that action for at least 10 minutes.

    The guide to the best LinkedIn MCP server now compares 14 options, with sources.

  28. Improved

    Weekly limit for connection requests

    Connection requests now have a weekly limit for each LinkedIn account. When LinkedIn refuses an invitation, message, comment, reaction or post because of an account limit, LinkMCP pauses that action for at least 10 minutes.

    Rate limits

  29. Improved

    Longer waits in Claude

    In Claude.ai and Claude Desktop, a read can now wait up to 3 minutes for LinkedIn pacing instead of being refused, because Claude allows longer tool calls.

  31. New

    linkedin_send_connection_request, linkedin_send_message and linkedin_get_shared_connections accept a Sales Navigator lead URL for the person.

  35. Fixed

    Current job

  36. New

    Grok support

    Grok is now a supported AI app, with its own setup steps in the app and a connect guide.

    Grok guide

  42. Improved

    Longer waits instead of refusals

  6. Improved

    Sales Navigator search errors

    When LinkedIn refuses Sales Navigator access in linkedin_search_sales_navigator, the answer now says why: an expired Sales Navigator sign-in, no Sales Navigator plan, or an ended LinkedIn session.

  7. Improved

    Message tools

    linkedin_send_message returns the chat_id of a new conversation, and the message tools say when a result is only part of the history.

  8. Improved

    Warm-up for connection requests

    A new or quiet LinkedIn account starts at 15 connection requests a day. The limit goes up by 5 for each day with requests, up to the normal limit.

    Rate limits

  9. Fixed

    Approval in the LinkedIn app

    When LinkedIn asks you to approve a sign-in in its app, the connect page now goes on by itself after you approve.

  10. Fixed

    Post links that do not match

    When linkedin_get_post_comments or linkedin_get_post_reactions cannot match a post link, the answer now says how to pass the post, not an empty list.

    Sign-in loops

    Codex and other OAuth clients now start a new sign-in when LinkMCP refuses their saved sign-in, instead of retrying it in a loop.

    New tool linkedin_mark_conversation_read marks a LinkedIn conversation as read.

  13. Improved

    All guides

    Post IDs

    linkedin_comment_on_post and linkedin_react_to_post accept every post ID form that the other tools return.

  3. Improved

    Refused connection requests

    When LinkedIn refuses a connection request, the answer names the likely cause, such as a LinkedIn limit, and does not blame the profile ID.

  4. New

    Job search

    New tool linkedin_search_jobs searches open LinkedIn jobs by keywords and location.

  5. Improved

    Reasons for automations

    find_email returns a machine-readable reason, so an automation can tell "not found" from other outcomes.

  6. New

    Setup wizard

    A new setup wizard: pick your AI app (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini or an automation tool), follow its steps, and see when the first call works.
