LinkedBoost vs LinkMCP

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Hosted LinkedIn MCP server with 50 documented tools for search, CSV imports, sequences and inbox work, with human review and per-account limits. From $29/mo for one account. Best for agencies and solo recruiters who want an assistant to prepare LinkedIn outreach they approve.

Where LinkedBoost fits

  • Agency business development from Claude
  • Solo recruiters who want reviewed LinkedIn sequences
  • Teams moving off Linked Helper

LinkMCP

$19/mo 7 day free trial

Hosted LinkedIn MCP server that lets Claude, ChatGPT or n8n research, search and message on LinkedIn through your own account. From $19/mo with a 7 day free trial and no card. Best for recruiters who already work in an AI assistant and want LinkedIn research and outreach inside the same chat.

Where LinkMCP fits

  • Recruiters who source and message candidates from Claude or ChatGPT
  • Agency recruiters researching hiring managers before outreach
  • Teams that want LinkedIn steps inside n8n workflows

Where they pull apart

LinkedBoost

Stands out: Every tool is documented with an example prompt, and the server keeps the operator in the loop, so an assistant prepares sequences and replies that you review before anything reaches LinkedIn.

Watch out: It cannot publish your own posts and has no contact database, email delivery or CRM sync. It works through your LinkedIn seat rather than an official LinkedIn API, and the vendor says its review and caps do not remove restriction risk.

Not the right fit for

  • Users who want to publish posts from Claude
  • Teams that need email or CRM sync
  • Buyers who need LinkedIn's official API

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
