LinkupAPI has not had its tool list read yet, so these capabilities come from the listing and LinkupAPI's own documentation. Your AI app shows the exact tools once it is connected.

Things recruiters ask tools like this

“Write a three-step sequence for these candidates and set it up as a draft campaign.”
“Which of last week's messages got replies, and who still needs a follow-up?”

What the LinkupAPI MCP server does

Hosted MCP server from the vendor at https://mcp.linkupapi.com/mcp. Add it as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor or VS Code and sign in with OAuth, or pass an API key. Tools run only on the accounts connected to your workspace, through each account's own session with a dedicated IP, not through an official LinkedIn API. The MCP costs nothing on top of the API plan.
