Build your entire LinkedIn pipeline in an afternoon
Stop duct-taping middleware. Crispy gives you one API - 164 LinkedIn tools, MCP-native - so you can wire search, connect, message, and track into Claude Code, n8n, or any stack.
Challenges you know too well
Sound familiar? Here's how Crispy solves each one.
Middleware duct-taping
You're chaining Zapier, PhantomBuster, and custom scripts just to get a prospect list into your CRM.
Solution: One MCP server with 164 tools. Call search_people, get_profile, send_invitation in sequence - no middleware needed.
CSV export hell
Every LinkedIn tool exports to CSV. You spend hours cleaning, deduping, and importing data between systems.
Solution: Crispy returns structured JSON. Pipe it directly into your database, CRM, or next API call.
No programmatic access
LinkedIn's official API is locked behind partnership approvals that take months and cost thousands.
Solution: Crispy uses your own LinkedIn session. No partnership needed. Get API access in 5 minutes.
Rate limit anxiety
You have no idea how many requests you can make before hitting limits or risking your account.
Solution: Built-in safety limits mirror LinkedIn's own thresholds. The safety calculator shows exactly what's safe.
Tool sprawl
Separate subscriptions for search, outreach, analytics, and content. Each with its own auth and billing.
Solution: One subscription, one API key, 164 tools. Prospecting, outreach, content, and analytics in a single server.
How it works
From setup to results in 5 steps.
Connect your LinkedIn profile
Connect your LinkedIn from the Crispy dashboard. Your profile is linked in 30 seconds.
Search and filter prospects
Use search_people with keywords, location, industry, and company filters to build your target list.
Example prompt
“Search for VP of Engineering at Series B SaaS companies in the Bay Area”
Enrich and qualify
Pull full profiles with get_profile. Extract company info, recent posts, and mutual connections for personalization.
Example prompt
“Get the full profile for each result and summarize their recent activity”
Automate outreach
Send connection requests with personalized notes, then follow up with messages - all via API or natural language.
Example prompt
“Send a connection request mentioning their recent post about AI infrastructure”
Track and iterate
Monitor campaign stats, acceptance rates, and response rates. Adjust messaging based on data.
Example prompt
“Show me the acceptance rate for my last campaign and suggest improvements”
Key tools for gtm engineers
Each tool is available as an MCP tool for AI agents or as a REST API endpoint.
Search LinkedIn People
Search LinkedIn's full people directory by keyword, job title, company, location, industry, and more. When a Sales Navigator subscription is detected, advanced filters like seniority level, years of experience, and recent job changes are automatically available. Results include name, headline, profile URL, and connection degree.
search_people
View LinkedIn Profile
View a LinkedIn profile by URL or public identifier. Returns full profile data including experience, education, skills, headline, summary, and connection status. When Sales Navigator is available, provides richer data: full names for 3rd+ degree connections, contact info (emails/phones), shared connections count, and lead flags.
get_profile
Send Connection Request
Send a LinkedIn connection request to someone. Optionally include a personal message (max 300 characters) to increase acceptance rates. Automatically resolves profile URLs and slugs to provider IDs. Supports campaign tagging for tracking outbound connection activity.
send_invitation
Send Message
Send a message in an existing LinkedIn conversation. Only works for EXISTING conversations. If you haven't messaged this person before, use start_conversation instead. Requires the chat_id from list_conversations. Supports campaign tagging for tracking outbound activity.
send_message
Create Campaign
Create a new campaign for tracking outbound LinkedIn actions. Campaign IDs are user-defined slugs (e.g. 'q1-fintech-outreach'). Once created, tag any send_message, send_invitation, create_post, or other action with the campaign_id to track performance.
create_campaign
Get Campaign Stats
Get detailed campaign performance stats: action counts by tool type, daily breakdown of activity, and per-account breakdown for multi-account setups. Supports a configurable lookback window for time-bounded reporting.
get_campaign_stats
Example prompts
Copy these into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to get started.
“Search LinkedIn for Head of Growth at fintech startups with 50-200 employees. Save the results with their company and title.”
“For each prospect, read their last 3 posts and draft a connection request that references something specific they wrote.”
“Create a campaign that sends connection requests to my prospect list, then follows up with a message 3 days after acceptance.”
“Pull my campaign stats for the last 30 days and identify which message templates have the highest reply rate.”
