Perplexity

Run LinkedIn company audits right inside Claude Desktop

The `list_organizations` tool lets Claude Desktop pull every company page where you hold admin rights. You don't have to copy-paste IDs or look up organization URLs manually anymore. Once Claude Desktop finds the right entity, it runs `get_organization` to extract the exact details you need. This lets you check your company profile data side-by-side with your chat context.

Draft and publish LinkedIn updates inside Claude Desktop

The `create_post` tool publishes your text updates directly to your feed from the Claude Desktop chat window. You write the draft, tell your agent to post it, and the update goes live instantly. Before publishing, you can use `list_posts` to check your recent LinkedIn feed history in Claude Desktop. This helps you avoid repeating the same topics in your chat.

Verify your LinkedIn profile details inside Claude Desktop

The `get_me` tool fetches your authenticated LinkedIn profile data directly into your Claude Desktop session. This ensures you're running the MCP Server on the correct account before running any automated scripts. You can also call `get_email` to grab your primary LinkedIn account email in Claude Desktop. This makes it simple to cross-reference your active login with internal team directories.
