With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Linkedin with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Linkedin with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Linkedin to VS Code ### Integrate Linkedin MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Linkedin MCP server, 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. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `LINKEDIN_CREATE_LINKED_IN_POST` | Create a LinkedIn post | Creates a new post on linkedin for the authenticated user or an organization they manage; ensure the user has necessary permissions if posting for an organization. | | `LINKEDIN_DELETE_LINKED_IN_POST` | Delete LinkedIn Post | Deletes a specific linkedin post (share) by its unique `share id`, which must correspond to an existing share. | | `LINKEDIN_GET_COMPANY_INFO` | Get company info | Retrieves organizations where the authenticated user has specific roles (acls), to determine their management or content posting capabilities for linkedin company pages. | | `LINKEDIN_GET_MY_INFO` | Get my info | Fetches the authenticated linkedin user's profile, notably including the 'author id' required for attributing content such as posts or articles. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, VS Code can access the Linkedin MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Linkedin is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. - Connect HubSpot or Salesforce to log customer context, update records, and draft follow-ups. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Linkedin MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linkedin/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Reddit](https://composio.dev/toolkits/reddit) - Reddit is a social news platform with thriving user-driven communities (subreddits).

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. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code 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. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Linkedin while using Tool Router? 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. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
