Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Linkedin account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to share a new post about our product launch, delete your last published LinkedIn post, fetch company pages I can manage, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

3. Connect your Linkedin account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Linkedin or give it any Linkedin-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Share a new post about our product launch"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Linkedin account is ready to use.

What is the Linkedin Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Linkedin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Linkedin account. It provides structured and secure access to your LinkedIn profile and company pages, so your agent can post updates, fetch your profile, manage company info, and even delete posts on your behalf.

  • Automated LinkedIn posting: Let your agent create and share new posts from your profile or managed company pages, keeping your network engaged without manual effort.
  • Profile information retrieval: Instantly fetch your LinkedIn profile details, including author ID and headline, for use in resumes, reporting, or personalized content generation.
  • Company page management: Retrieve a list of organizations you manage, making it easy for your agent to post or gather company info for employer branding and outreach.
  • Content cleanup and moderation: Direct your agent to delete specific LinkedIn posts (by share ID) to maintain a professional, up-to-date presence.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Linkedin?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Linkedin conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Linkedin again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Linkedin connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Linkedin.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Linkedin.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Linkedin authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Linkedin account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Linkedin connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Linkedin authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Linkedin sign-in.

4. Why do Linkedin actions fail after they worked before?

The Linkedin connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Linkedin connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Linkedin account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Linkedin.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Linkedin itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Linkedin account?

Claude can manage the Linkedin connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Linkedin account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Linkedin again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Linkedin.
  • Sign in with the other Linkedin account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Linkedin task.

6. Why is my Linkedin connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Linkedin connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Linkedin tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Linkedin.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Linkedin MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Linkedin tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Linkedin and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Linkedin tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Linkedin scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Linkedin data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
