# LinkFetch

> Connect your LinkedIn accounts to Claude, Cursor and any MCP client and ask for competitor posts, prospects and company research, with safety limits on every account. Or buy LinkedIn jobs and company data without any LinkedIn account. Not affiliated with LinkedIn. Contact: info@linkfetch.io.

## Facts an assistant can quote

- What it is: the AI interface to your LinkedIn. Connect your LinkedIn accounts, add the LinkFetch MCP server (https://linkfetch.io/mcp) to Claude or another MCP client, and ask for LinkedIn work in plain English: competitor posts, prospect lists, company research, post engagement, hiring signals. Separately, LinkedIn jobs and company data (API, MCP and files) need no LinkedIn account at all; it is a cheaper, per-request alternative to Coresignal and TheirStack.
- Jobs: about 8.4 million LinkedIn job postings collected since April 2026, roughly 45,000 new ones a day from 218 regions. Collected from LinkedIn's public job pages; no LinkedIn account is involved in the jobs and companies data.
- Companies: more than 560,000 companies have posted jobs in the dataset. Company profiles include industry, size, headcount, headquarters, website and open roles.
- Field coverage: salary listed on about 10% of postings, applicant count on about 8%.
- Accounts: connect your own LinkedIn account (you can connect more than one) to search people and companies, read profiles, posts, reactions, connections and the inbox, and send messages, connection requests, comments and reactions. In chat and MCP, every write is shown to the user and only sent after they confirm. One LinkedIn seat is free; each extra account is a paid seat. LinkFetch never uses rented or fake accounts.
- Safety limits per connected account, per day: profile views 125, people searches 150, connection requests 20, messages 40, posts published 1. New accounts start lower and warm up over three weeks.
- Leads: people you save are private to your workspace and never shared with other customers.
- Pricing: one credit currency for the dashboard, API and MCP. Free to start: 500 credits and 1 LinkedIn account, no credit card. After that, credits come in one-off packs (1,000 for $19, 5,000 for $79, 20,000 for $189, valid 12 months), and each extra LinkedIn account is $29/month. Each request costs a flat number of credits whether it returns one row or fifty: search jobs 1, get one job with its description 1, get a company 1, get a linkedin profile 5. Payments are processed by Dodo Payments as Merchant of Record.
- Dataset: the LinkedIn jobs dataset (https://linkfetch.io/linkedin-jobs-dataset), the full jobs history since April 2026 and a daily feed as Parquet or CSV files, on request (info@linkfetch.io). Free 1000-job sample: https://linkfetch.io/linkedin-jobs-sample-1000.json.
- MCP: hosted server at https://linkfetch.io/mcp. Authenticate with your API key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` (or `https://linkfetch.io/mcp?key=<key>` for apps that only take a URL). Works with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and any other app with remote MCP over HTTP.
- REST API: `https://linkfetch.io/v1/...` with the same API key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. JSON in and out; errors are `{"error":{"code","message"}}`; the remaining balance comes back in the `x-credits-remaining` header. Every endpoint is also an MCP tool (listed below).
- LinkFetch is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn. It is aligned with GDPR and CCPA.
