Where they pull apart

ConnectSafely

Stands out: At $10 per LinkedIn account a month it is one of the cheapest ways to give Claude or n8n full LinkedIn access, with the MCP server, REST API and CLI in one plan.

Watch out: It works through your signed in LinkedIn session, not an official LinkedIn API, so account restrictions are possible. Post Boosting and auto-commenting are separate subscriptions on top of the $10 API plan.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need a tool built on LinkedIn's official API
  • Buyers who want email and phone finding included
  • Users who prefer one flat plan over separate products

LinkMCP

Stands out: It turns LinkedIn into 35 tools an assistant can chain, so one prompt can find candidates, read their recent posts and draft a personal connection note, with no browser extension and nothing running on your computer.

Watch out: It works through your signed in LinkedIn session, not an official LinkedIn API, so an account restriction cannot be ruled out even with its daily limits. Connecting your own account needs a paid plan; the trial only covers lookups and enrichment.

Not the right fit for

  • Bulk LinkedIn campaigns to thousands of people
  • Teams that need a tool built on LinkedIn's official API
  • Recruiters who do not use an AI assistant
