What it does

What a person has been saying, newest first. Separate from get_linkedin_profile because content research wants a history, not just the latest post, and paying for the profile fetch to get it is wasteful.

This tool drives a real LinkedIn account

It runs through a connected sender account in your workspace — not through a scraper and not through your own profile. Call list_sender_accounts first to see which identities are connected and healthy. If the workspace has none, this tool returns an error telling you so; accounts for agents covers how teams get one without risking their own profile.

Arguments

This table is generated from the literal inputSchema that tools/list returns, so what your client sees and what this page says are the same object:

inputSchema
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "profile": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Profile URL, public identifier or provider id — or a company's numeric id for its page's posts"
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "How many posts, 1–20 (default 5)"
    },
    "account": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Sender account id or name to read as."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "profile"
  ]
}

Request

Paste this, swap the key, and you have called the tool.

curl
curl -s https://topclozer.com/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tcz_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_linkedin_posts",
      "arguments": { "profile": "example", "limit": 10 }
    }
  }'

Returns

{ providerId, count, posts }. Each post: id, text, postedAt (epoch ms), isRepost, and reactions/comments when LinkedIn returns counters.

The payload arrives inside an MCP content block — one text block whose body is this JSON, pretty-printed. Parse the string; there is no structured-content field.

payload
{
  "providerId": "ACoAAB1x…",
  "count": 1,
  "posts": [
    {
      "id": "urn:li:activity:7…",
      "text": "We finally cut our p99 in half. The fix was not the database…",
      "postedAt": 1789084800000,
      "isRepost": false,
      "reactions": 214,
      "comments": 31
    }
  ]
}

Worth knowing

Returns an empty array — not an error — for a profile with no visible activity, which is the common case for senior buyers. Text is whitespace-collapsed. Reposts are included and flagged; filter on isRepost if you want original writing only.

Rate limit

30 LinkedIn tool calls per 5 minutes, per workspace. Exceeding it returns HTTP 429 with JSON-RPC error -32002 and a Retry-After header. The budget is shared by every LinkedIn tool and counted per workspace, so minting a second key does not buy a second allowance.

The limit exists because an agent retrying in a loop is the request pattern that gets a LinkedIn account restricted, and a restricted account is a much worse outcome for you than a 429. Workspace tools do not spend this budget.
