Automate LinkedIn with Claude
LinkedIn is the one platform where the agent can also read and answer the comments, and the only one that takes a PDF as a post.
https://api.antwork.io/mcpClaude connects to Antwork as a custom connector: one URL pasted into the Add custom connector dialog, then a browser authorization. The same connector works in Claude Desktop once you are signed in.
Custom connectors need Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise.
Connect it
- 01Open the connector dialogClaude opens its Add custom connector dialog with the MCP URL already on your clipboard, so there is nothing to retype.
- 02Name it and paste the URLSet the name to antwork, paste the URL into Remote MCP server URL, leave Advanced settings empty, and click Add.
- 03Authorize, then connect the social accountApproving the OAuth screen makes the connection live. Ask Claude to connect your account and it renders a panel with a button per platform.
What you can say once LinkedIn is connected
“Draft a LinkedIn post about what we shipped this week, in my voice, and show me before it goes out.”
“Turn this PDF into a LinkedIn carousel post and schedule it for Tuesday morning.”
“What did my last five LinkedIn posts do? Show me impressions and engagement.”
“Someone commented on my last post. Read the thread and draft a reply.”
You see it before it goes out
Antwork does not answer with a wall of text. It renders real, clickable panels inside Claude — the same interface you would get in a dashboard, in the conversation you are already in. No other social tool does this.
- 01A post card with the draft, editable in place, with the publish and schedule buttons on it
- 02A month calendar of everything scheduled across every connected account
- 03Your media library as a thumbnail grid you can attach from
- 04A connections panel with a Connect button per platform
- 05A table of recent posts you can click into
Shipped something small this week that fixed a big thing. Our token refresh ran daily but checked LinkedIn against a five minute expiry window, so it could only ever catch a token that happened to die inside those five minutes. It never did. Accounts just went quiet.
What is different about LinkedIn
Only hereIt can reply to comments
LinkedIn is the only platform Antwork implements commenting for. The agent can read the thread under a published post and reply in the same voice it wrote the post in. On every other platform it publishes and stops.
A PDF is a carousel
LinkedIn accepts a document post — a PDF up to 100 MB that readers swipe through in the feed. Attach one and the agent posts it as a carousel. No other platform Antwork supports takes a document at all.
A document can ride with images, video cannot
You can attach a document alongside images, but images and video can never share a post. Ask for both and the agent has to split them, so it will tell you before it drafts rather than after it fails.
Long actually works here
Three thousand characters is roughly 500 words, and LinkedIn is the one place where using them is not a mistake. The agent drafts to the length the format rewards instead of trimming everything to a hook.
Questions
- Do I need an API key to connect Claude?
- No. Antwork connects over OAuth — you approve a consent screen in the browser and you are done. There is no key to generate or paste into a URL, which is how most social MCP servers handle it.
- Do I need a paid account?
- No. Your first two connected accounts are free forever, with unlimited posts and workspaces, and there is no plan gate on MCP access.
- Will Claude post without showing me first?
- Not unless you ask it to. Drafting and publishing are two separate steps: the agent writes, renders the post card, and only publishes when you confirm.
- Does the writing sound like AI?
- Antwork hands the agent that account's recent posts, along with how each performed, and the agent writes to match them. On LinkedIn that includes writing to the length the format rewards, up to 3,000 characters.
Never leave Claude to post again.
One command, one consent screen, and LinkedIn is something you can just ask for.
