Using with n8n or Make

Both n8n and Make can call every Crispy tool through MCP, so you can build visual LinkedIn automations without writing code.

n8n

  1. Add an 'MCP Client' node to your workflow.
  2. Set the Server URL to https://crispy.sh/api/mcp.
  3. Add a header: Authorization = Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
  4. The node auto-discovers all available tools.

Connect the node to n8n's triggers, filters, and downstream nodes. The MCP Client node is available on all n8n plans, including the free self-hosted version.

Make

Make has an MCP Client module on paid plans:

  1. Add an MCP Client module to your scenario.
  2. Enter https://crispy.sh/api/mcp as the server URL.
  3. Set authentication to Token and paste your API key.
  4. Make auto-discovers all tools with input schemas.

No MCP module on your plan? Use an HTTP 'Make a request' module instead: POST to https://crispy.sh/api/mcp with an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header, Content-Type application/json, and a JSON-RPC body calling tools/call with the tool name and arguments.

Triggering on LinkedIn events

Two options. Poll on a schedule (every hour, pull new connections or messages, act on the results), or configure Crispy webhooks and point them at an n8n or Make webhook trigger for real-time events. See the webhooks article for setup.

Popular automations

  • Auto-accept and qualify connection requests, then tag leads in your CRM
  • Drip follow-up sequences that stop when a prospect replies
  • Hourly CRM sync of new connections and profile data
  • Weekly analytics digest to Slack or email

Crispy throttles requests to stay within LinkedIn's safety limits, so a runaway workflow cannot burn your account.
