Answers

The questions people ask about AI agents and LinkedIn before they have picked a tool. Each page answers the question first. Iridium comes up at the end, where it is relevant.

How to connect your AI agent to LinkedIn

Connect LinkedIn to Iridium once, with your credentials or your li_at cookie, then add one MCP URL to your agent. Step-by-step for Claude, Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor, ChatGPT, Hermes, and custom agents.

How to give an AI agent access to LinkedIn

Three routes exist. The official API is partner-gated and has no people search. Browser automation works and is slow and breaks on redesigns. An authenticated session broker holds your login and exposes it as an API. What each one can do, and how to choose.

How to run LinkedIn outreach from inside Claude

Claude writes good outreach already. It has no LinkedIn session, so it cannot find anyone or send anything. Connecting an MCP server fixes both. The setup, what to ask for once it works, and what should still wait for you.

How to answer your LinkedIn inbox without sounding like a bot

Six habits give an AI reply away, and every one is fixable without a better model. Why example messages beat tone instructions, why sorting comes before writing, and what you should never let send itself.

LinkedIn automation that asks before it sends

Which actions need your approval and which do not. What a review queue has to show you. Why a daily limit written into a prompt is not a limit. The one question that separates a real review step from a checkbox.

How to see what an AI agent did on your LinkedIn account

The chat transcript records what the model believed. The activity log records what the code did. What a log has to capture, why failures matter more than successes, and how to check both against LinkedIn itself.

Why your LinkedIn MCP server is slow

Browser-driven servers spend the time waiting for a LinkedIn page to render. Where the minute goes, why latency breaks chained tool calls, and how to measure your own in three tries.

How to give Claude access to your LinkedIn DMs

The official LinkedIn API cannot open your inbox, whatever a vendor implies. Browser automation wants your session cookie. Building your own wrapper costs more per month than buying a finished one. Four routes with the actual numbers.

Working the inbox

What to do when your LinkedIn inbox gets away from you

Triage before you write. Separate the threads you owe a reply from the ones where you are being ghosted. What to search for, and what to ignore.

Being seen

How to comment on LinkedIn so the right people see you

Where to comment, how short to keep it, and how to aim at the companies whose engineers you want reading your name.

How to get an honest review of your LinkedIn profile from Claude

No profile score and no automated rewrite. Your agent reads the profile and tells you the truth. Five prompts worth copying.

Choosing a tool

The best LinkedIn MCP server for reading and sending DMs

Most tools labelled "LinkedIn MCP" cannot open an inbox at all. Six compared on price, DM access, approval, and published retention.

Iridium vs. Unipile

Unipile is what Iridium runs on. One sells infrastructure you build on. The other is the thing built. What that costs either way.

Iridium vs. Item 12

The closest competitor, with a real review queue. Where they differ on price, credit metering, and what each publishes about your data.

Iridium vs. Fintalio

Fintalio's own docs say its MCP exposes no inbox read. If DMs are the job, that settles it.
