What it is
Turn a role into a search, screen what comes back against requirements you wrote down first, and produce a ranked slate where each position carries its evidence and what is missing. The rubric is built from the job only, and the instructions refuse to score on anything a candidate cannot change.
Who it is for
- An in-house recruiter or a hiring founder sourcing from LinkedIn who needs the shortlist to survive a conversation with the hiring manager.
Capabilities
Each of these is one atomic thing the product can do, and each names what performs it. A capability fulfilled by a tool maps onto a tool the MCP endpoint serves today — follow the link and you can read the exact request it makes and what comes back.
List the sending account's network
MCP toolMedium riskFirst-degree connections of the connected sender account, up to two hundred per call. It is that account's network, not the network of whoever is signed into the app — which is exactly the distinction that matters when the sender is a dedicated account.
Your LinkedIn session · list_linkedin_connections
Read what someone has posted
MCP toolMedium riskUp to twenty recent posts by one member, newest first, with reposts flagged. An empty array — not an error — is the normal answer for a senior buyer who does not post, and a workflow has to handle that as a case rather than as a failure.
Your LinkedIn session · get_linkedin_posts
Read one profile in depth
MCP toolMedium riskOne call returns identity, current role and the date it started, follower count, the premium flag and the latest post. Every enrichment field is best-effort: a profile that hides its activity still returns its identity, with the post fields simply absent.
Your LinkedIn session · get_linkedin_profile
Find people matching an ICP
MCP toolMedium riskRuns an ICP description through a connected account's LinkedIn search and returns up to 50 profiles per call. Profiles LinkedIn masks as "LinkedIn Member" because they are out of network are dropped rather than returned with a blank name. Typed Sales Navigator filters are used only when the account has a Navigator seat; otherwise every criterion is folded into one keyword string.
Your LinkedIn session · search_linkedin_people
See which LinkedIn identity is available
MCP toolLow riskThe accounts this workspace can act as, each with status, warm-up stage, how much of today's invite and message budget is spent, and a health score. Reads our own database, so it costs nothing against the LinkedIn rate limit and is the cheapest first call an agent can make.
Read only · list_sender_accounts
Check the remaining LinkedIn budget
MCP toolLow riskHow many LinkedIn tool calls this workspace has made this month, broken down by tool, plus the rate limit in force. The call an agent makes to pace itself instead of discovering the limit by hitting it.

Screen a profile against a role
AI skillLow riskScores a profile against written, role-derived requirements and shows the evidence for each score, including the gaps. The rubric is built from the requirements of the job only — a screen that sorts on anything a person cannot change is not a screen, and the kit's instructions refuse it.
Read only
Turn an offer into search filters
AI skillLow riskConverts a written offer and a few existing customers into the arguments search_linkedin_people actually takes — keywords, location, industry, company, exclude_company — and says which of them LinkedIn will treat as a typed filter versus fold into keywords.
Read only
Draft a first message
AI skillLow riskWrites an opener grounded in a cited line from the person's profile or a post, in the project's voice, under LinkedIn's 300-character invitation-note limit. It produces text in a file. Nothing in the kit can send it.
Human approves
Write a brief on one person
AI skillLow riskCompresses a profile and its posts into a one-screen brief in which every claim names the call that produced it. Anything the tools did not return is written as "not visible" rather than inferred, because an invented detail in a first message is worse than a missing one.
Read only
Find a warm path in
AI skillLow riskIntersects the sending account's first-degree connections with a target's company to tell you whether there is an introduction to ask for. It answers from the sender's network only; it cannot see anybody else's connections.
Read only
A shortlist you can defend
WorkflowMedium riskSearch, screen against the written rubric, read posts for evidence of the work, and produce a ranked slate where every position carries its reasons and its gaps. Contacting anyone on it is a human decision made outside the workflow.
Human approves
Read a company's open roles
Planned — not available yetMedium riskNot built yet. Hiring signals available today are indirect: recent joiners and job-change dates on individual profiles. The job board itself is not readable through any tool.
Your LinkedIn session
One capability is marked planned: nothing fulfils it today. It is listed because the roadmap should be visible, and it does not run when you install this.

}What is included
- A requirements-to-search translation that keeps the requirements visible
- A screening rubric scored against evidence, with the refusals written into it
- A ranked slate with per-candidate evidence, gaps and an explicit confidence level
- An outreach draft per candidate that says what the role is and what it pays attention to
The files
| File | What it holds |
|---|---|
| README.md | What it is, what it needs, what it cannot do, and what is in the directory. |
| INSTALL.md | The exact commands for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code, plus a call that proves the connection before you trust it. |
| AGENT.md | The agent definition to paste into your client's project instructions: role, tool budget, rules, and where it stops. |
| SKILL.md | The judgement written down — the rubric, what counts as evidence, and what to write when the evidence is not there. |
| WORKFLOW.md | The run step by step, with the exact tool calls, the cost of each, and the human gate it ends at. |
| PROMPTS.md | Prompts to paste, each one naming the tools it will spend. |
| EXAMPLES.md | Real request and response shapes from the endpoint, with illustrative values and the field names that are not. |
| TROUBLESHOOTING.md | The errors this endpoint actually returns, quoted verbatim, and what each one means. |
| .env.example | The values the install asks for, in one place. Nothing in the kit reads it by itself. |
What it cannot do
Printed before you pay, not after you ask for a refund.
- No resumes, no skills lists, no endorsements, no full employment history. Screening evidence is the headline, the current role, its start date and whatever the person has posted.
- No job posts and no ATS. Nothing is written anywhere but your own files.
- It scores against written role requirements and nothing else. A prompt that asks it to filter on a protected characteristic gets a refusal and a note in the output, not a quiet compliance.
- It cannot contact anyone. Every message it drafts is a draft, and reaching out is a decision you make outside the workflow.
What a run costs: 1 search + 1–2 calls per candidate screened. A slate of fifteen from a pool of forty ≈ 45 calls. The endpoint allows a fixed number of LinkedIn calls per five minutes per workspace, which is documented per tool.
Install
These are the commands from the kit’s INSTALL.md, read off disk at build time — so this page and the file you download cannot disagree. Pick the client you work in.

What you need before it runs
- A TopClozer workspace API key
- A connected LinkedIn account; Recruiter and Sales Navigator seats change what search returns
- An MCP-capable client
- Written role requirements. The kit will ask for them before it searches.
LinkedIn plan: A free LinkedIn account works. A Sales Navigator or Recruiter seat makes location and industry typed filters rather than keywords, which for sourcing is the difference between a filter and a suggestion.
Security and risk
Medium risk. Acts through your own session or writes with a human approving each action. Restriction is unlikely but not impossible.
Human approves. Drafts the action; nothing irreversible happens until a person presses send.
The live MCP endpoint is read-only by design, and the outreach engine keeps every irreversible action behind a human approval gate. None of that is LinkedIn endorsing any of this, and nobody can promise your account will not be restricted — least of all a vendor selling you automation. What we store and who can read it is a separate page, and it is the one that answers that question.
Provider: TopClozer — a verified seller: we wrote it, we maintain it, and the support request comes to us.
Pricing
$49 — A skill plus MCP wiring, workflows and the files they read. The whole ladder is on the pricing page.
No payment processor is connected to this site, so nothing here can charge a card — and a button that looked like it could would be the lie this catalogue exists to avoid. What happens instead: the order button writes a real pending purchase against your workspace and hands you its reference, a person invoices you, and marking that order paid is what puts the files in your library. Slower than a card, and every step of it is real.
Version history
v1.0.02026-09-20
First release. Requirements template, two-pass screen, evidence-scored rubric with the refusals built in, and 200-character approach drafts.
Reviews
Nothing here. A review appears on this page only when it is attached to a verified purchase of this product, and none has been published. An empty section is the correct state for a catalogue this young — the alternative is the kind of testimonial that means nothing to the person reading it.
