Automate LinkedIn with Cursor
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.
Cursor installs Antwork from a single click. It is the shortest setup of any client here — no command, no config file, no URL to copy.
Connect it
- 01Click Add to CursorCursor opens and asks you to confirm the install. There is nothing to paste: the server name and URL travel inside the link.
- 02Authorize in the browserThe first Antwork tool call opens an OAuth consent screen. Approve it once and the token refreshes itself from then on.
- 03Connect the social accountAsk Cursor to connect your account and it returns a connect link per platform. Antwork holds and refreshes that token so publishing does not silently break weeks later.
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.”
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 Cursor?
- 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 Cursor 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 Cursor to post again.
One command, one consent screen, and LinkedIn is something you can just ask for.
