LinkedIn + Claude Code integration
Connect LinkedIn to Claude Code
ConnectChats brings your LinkedIn chats into Claude Code. Ask Claude Code 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 Code can do with your LinkedIn
ConnectChats gives Claude Code a small set of tools. Claude Code 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 Code 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 Code searches your LinkedIn history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Claude Code 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.

-
Link your LinkedIn account

-

Open a new conversation in Claude Code and ask about your chats. Claude Code calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How LinkedIn and Claude Code 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 Code
Claude Code adds remote MCP servers with one command. Add ConnectChats, sign in once with your passkey, and you can ask Claude Code about your chats without leaving the terminal. The --scope user option makes ConnectChats available in every project. Leave it out to add it to the current project only. Claude Code needs a Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan, or an Anthropic Console account. Tokens refresh on their own. To sign out, open /mcp and choose Clear authentication, or run claude mcp logout connectchats. Sign in once in an interactive session. Scripts and headless runs reuse the saved sign-in but cannot complete it.
Your LinkedIn stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Claude Code only sees the LinkedIn chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Claude Code 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 Code read my LinkedIn messages?
Yes, once you link LinkedIn in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Claude Code. Claude Code reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Claude Code send LinkedIn messages for me?
Claude Code 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 Code 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 Code 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.
Can I share the setup with my team through .mcp.json?
Yes, with --scope project the server goes into .mcp.json in the repository. Each person still signs in with their own passkey and sees only their own chats.
Does Claude Code see my chats in every session?
Only when it calls a ConnectChats tool, which it does when you ask about your messages. It reads only the chats you share.
