LinkedIn MCP Server (Salesbot)

What is this? linkedin-mcp-server-salesbot is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI‑assisted LinkedIn relationship operations. It lets AI assistants — Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor — help you research and organize professional contacts, draft deeply personalized messages for your review and approval, sync inbox conversations, enrich profiles, and pull web context — all under your direction. It's built for hyper‑targeted, meaningful outreach (find 5 ideal contacts, read their recent posts, write 5 thoughtful notes), not bulk blasting. Every send is gated by human‑in‑the‑loop approval and enforced, server‑side daily/hourly safety thresholds that keep your LinkedIn account within safe limits.

It runs as a Supabase Edge Function (Deno + Hono + mcp-lite) exposing the MCP Streamable HTTP transport. LinkedIn actions go through a third‑party LinkedIn integration provider; LinkedIn credentials are never stored by the AI.

Quick facts

How do I connect? (Claude Desktop / Cursor)

Add this to your MCP client config. Get the sb_mcp_… key in the Salesbot app under Settings → MCP.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-automation": {
      "url": "https://app.salesbot.cz/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-mcp-api-key": "sb_mcp_YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Accept": "application/json, text/event-stream"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: send the key in the x-mcp-api-key header, not Authorization: Bearer. The Supabase API gateway rejects unknown Bearer tokens before they reach the server.

Authentication

• MCP API key (sb_mcp_…) — long‑lived; generated in the Salesbot app, stored only as a SHA‑256 hash. Send in x-mcp-api-key.
• Supabase JWT — a signed‑in user session token in Authorization: Bearer.
• An active subscription/trial is required.

How do I authenticate LinkedIn?

The AI can do it without leaving the chat:

1. Call get_linkedin_status — reports whether LinkedIn is connected/active/blocked.
2. If not connected, call connect_linkedin — returns a white‑labeled https://auth.salesbot.cz/… link. The user opens it, completes LinkedIn login, done.

Or connect in the app: Settings → LinkedIn → Connect.

Tools

Each tool returns text content; errors return { "ok": false, "code": "<CODE>", "error": "<message>" }.
