LinkAssist MCP

Post and schedule LinkedIn from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or Grok

Use the AI apps you already live in. LinkAssist supplies the LinkedIn writer, your User DNA, and a safe path to draft, schedule or publish, without an API key.

Full setup guide

Can ChatGPT or Claude post to LinkedIn for me?

Yes, through LinkAssist MCP. It lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients write, schedule and publish LinkedIn posts using your LinkAssist User DNA. You connect with the URL https://app.linkassist.ai/api/mcp over OAuth, with no API key. Publishing is intentional: the assistant must get your confirmation, LinkAssist keeps a 30-second cancel window, and a risk check can hold unsafe posts as drafts.

1.Your connection URL

Paste this into your AI app. It's also under Settings, MCP in the LinkAssist app.

https://app.linkassist.ai/api/mcp

2.Why connect LinkedIn to your AI app?

You brainstorm in ChatGPT. You refine in Claude. You ship code in Cursor.

Then the LinkedIn part turns into copy-paste: reformat the post, open LinkedIn, fight the editor, forget to schedule, lose the thread. The work isn't writing. It's context-switching.

3.How does LinkAssist MCP work?

  • Connect once. Paste the MCP URL into your AI app. Sign in to LinkAssist and press Connect. No token to paste.
  • Ask in plain language. "Write a post about the hire we almost didn't make." "Plan my week and save drafts." "Schedule this for Thursday 9am IST."
  • Stay in control. Everything lands in your LinkAssist drafts and calendar. Publishing only happens after you explicitly confirm, and there's a short window to cancel.

Your AI app uses the same LinkAssist writer, User DNA, templates and quality checks as the dashboard.

4.What can you ask it?

  • Read my LinkAssist profile, then write a LinkedIn post about a lesson from this week.
  • Plan my LinkedIn posts for this week and save them as drafts.
  • What did my three best posts this month have in common?
  • Improve my LinkAssist User DNA from what you know about me.
  • Make the opening of my last draft punchier.
  • Generate an image for this post and attach it.
  • Schedule it for Thursday at 9am. Or: publish it now.

In Claude and Cursor you can also use the built-in prompts write-linkedin-post and plan-my-week.

5.How do you set it up?

Short versions below. The setup guide has screenshots and the latest menu names.

ChatGPT

  • Settings, Apps & Connectors (turn on Developer mode under Advanced if needed).
  • Create a connector named LinkAssist.
  • Paste the MCP URL and choose OAuth.
  • Press Connect, log in to LinkAssist, press Connect again.

Claude (claude.ai and Desktop)

  • Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector.
  • Name it LinkAssist, paste the URL, Add.
  • Connect, log in, Connect.

Grok and other MCP apps

  • Any client that supports remote MCP with OAuth: add the same URL, then press Connect on the LinkAssist page.
  • Menu names change often. If a step doesn't match, use the "other apps" path in the setup guide.

Cursor

Settings, MCP, add a server with the URL, or add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkassist": { "url": "https://app.linkassist.ai/api/mcp" }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http linkassist https://app.linkassist.ai/api/mcp

Then run /mcp, pick linkassist, and press Connect in the browser.

6.Is it safe to let an AI app publish to LinkedIn?

  • Your AI app must ask you first. It may only publish after you've seen the final post and said to publish.
  • About 30 seconds before it goes live, say cancel and it returns to drafts.
  • A risk check can hold a post, for example a damaging claim about a named person or company, for review in the dashboard.

LinkAssist never auto-likes, follows or messages anyone. How LinkAssist stays inside LinkedIn's rules.

7.Does it use my plan?

AI app activity uses your plan the same way the dashboard does. Each new post written or saved counts as 1 toward your monthly post limit. Revising, scheduling or publishing doesn't use an extra post. Images you bring yourself don't use AI image quota.

MCP works on Trial, Starter, Growth, Premium and Enterprise. See pricing for current plans, or how LinkAssist compares with other LinkedIn tools.

Common questions

Do I need an API key?

No. There is no key or token to paste. Your AI app opens LinkAssist in the browser and you press Connect.

Will it auto-publish to LinkedIn?

No. Publishing requires your explicit confirmation on the exact post. There's also a 30-second cancel window and a risk check.

Does this replace the LinkAssist dashboard?

No. MCP is another front door. Drafts, calendar, User DNA and analytics still live in LinkAssist.

Which plans include MCP?

MCP works on Trial, Starter, Growth, Premium and Enterprise while the plan is active. If you see a plan error, upgrade from Settings, Subscription. See linkassist.ai/pricing for current plans.

Can it change my User DNA?

Yes, but only after you agree. You can ask it to undo.
