LinkedIn + Claude integration
Connect LinkedIn to Claude
ConnectChats brings your LinkedIn chats into Claude. Ask Claude to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Claude can do with your LinkedIn
ConnectChats gives Claude a small set of tools. Claude calls them when you ask about your LinkedIn chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Claude reads your unread LinkedIn chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Claude searches your LinkedIn history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Claude writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own LinkedIn account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

-
Add ConnectChats to Claude
- In Claude on the web or desktop, go to Customize, then Connectors.
- Click + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it ConnectChats, paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp as the URL and click Continue.

-

Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Claude never sees the rest.
-
Ask Claude about your LinkedIn
Open a new conversation in Claude and ask about your chats. Claude calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How LinkedIn and Claude work together
ConnectChats links to your LinkedIn messages using your signed in browser session, since LinkedIn offers no other way to share personal messages with another app. You choose which conversations your AI app can see.
-
LinkedIn in ConnectChats
Your LinkedIn inbox is supported: one to one messages, group conversations and InMail you receive. Posts, comments and connection requests are not included, only messages. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Sales Navigator and Recruiter inboxes are separate products and are not included.
-
ConnectChats in Claude
Claude supports remote MCP servers as custom connectors. Add ConnectChats once, sign in with your passkey, and switch it on in any conversation where you want Claude to see your chats. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan, including Free, which allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, members cannot add connectors themselves. An owner adds ConnectChats in Organization settings, then each member connects their own account. Add the connector on the web or desktop. It then works in the Claude iPhone and Android apps too. Claude connects from Anthropic's cloud, not from your computer, so nothing needs to stay running on your side.
Your LinkedIn stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Claude only sees the LinkedIn chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Claude prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches LinkedIn, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Claude read my LinkedIn messages?
Yes, once you link LinkedIn in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Claude. Claude reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Claude send LinkedIn messages for me?
Claude can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own LinkedIn account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the LinkedIn to Claude integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Claude and link LinkedIn from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link LinkedIn once and use it everywhere.
Does it help me keep up with recruiter messages?
Yes. Your AI app can list the LinkedIn messages that still need an answer and draft polite replies you approve before they are sent.
Why does LinkedIn need browser cookies?
LinkedIn does not offer a sign-in that lets another app read your messages. Your browser session is how ConnectChats connects as you, and signing out of LinkedIn ends it.
Does it work on the free Claude plan?
Yes. Claude's free plan allows one custom connector, which is enough for ConnectChats.
Can I use ConnectChats in the Claude mobile app?
Yes. Add the connector on claude.ai or in the desktop app, and it is available in the iPhone and Android apps on the same account.
Is this the same as using ConnectChats in Claude Code?
It is the same ConnectChats account, but Claude Code is set up separately with one terminal command. Your linked chats and sharing choices carry over.
