LinkedIn

Publish LinkedIn posts, upload media, manage comments and reactions, and read organization statistics.

OAuth 24 tools

Overview

Connect LinkedIn so AI clients can publish and manage your own posts (and Company Page posts when Community Management scopes are approved), upload media, work with comments and reactions, and read organization statistics. This is the hosted LinkedIn MCP integration for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients — no self-hosted server required.

Common use cases

  • Draft and publish posts — create text, image, video, or article posts as yourself or a Page you administer.
  • Engage on posts — list comments, reply, and react.
  • Page analytics — share, follower, and page statistics for organizations you manage.

Prerequisites

  • A LinkedIn account
  • A stackgate.ai account
  • A LinkedIn developer application with Community Management API as the only product on that app (LinkedIn does not allow OpenID Connect or other products on the same CMA application)
  • For Company Page tools: an admin/content role on the Page you want to manage

Getting credentials

  1. Sign in to stackgate.ai.
  2. Go to My Integrations and open LinkedIn.
  3. Click Connect LinkedIn and approve the OAuth prompt (basic profile + member/organization social scopes from Community Management).
  4. stackgate.ai stores your OAuth tokens encrypted. No manual API keys are required.

Optional for Pages: after connecting, use list_organizations then set_default_organization so create/upload tools default to that Page.

Using with AI clients

  • Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/linkedin with a Sanctum bearer token
  • Private gateway: one config for all integrations — use linkedin__* namespaced tools

See Documentation for HTTP authentication and private gateway setup.

Limitations

  • No inbox / direct messages — LinkedIn does not grant general partners read/reply access to member DMs.
  • No list-my-posts — listing member-authored historical posts requires a closed LinkedIn permission (r_member_social).
  • Drafts — LinkedIn’s Posts API only accepts PUBLISHED on create. Review text in chat before calling create_post.
  • Organization list/post/analytics tools need Community Management approval on your LinkedIn developer app.
  • Email is usually not returned on connect (CMA apps do not include OpenID / r_emailaddress).

Troubleshooting

  • 422 integration not configured — complete the OAuth connect flow in My Integrations.
  • 403 / ACCESS_DENIED — missing OAuth scope or Page role; reconnect and confirm Community Management scopes and Page admin role.
  • Token expired — disconnect and reconnect LinkedIn from the integration page.
  • Media stuck PROCESSING — wait and call get_image / get_video; large videos take longer to become AVAILABLE.
  • Cannot add OpenID to the same app — expected: CMA must be the only product. Use this CMA app for the LinkedIn integration; LinkedIn Ads uses a separate Advertising API app.
