list_conversations — LinkedIn MCP tool reference

What it does

The live LinkedIn inbox, all products in one list. Unread first is where replies wait.

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

Name	Type	Required	Meaning
unread	boolean	no	true for unread only, false for read only
limit	number	no	1–250 (default 30)
cursor	string	no	The `cursor` from the previous page, to continue
account	string	no	Sender account id or name to act as. Defaults to the healthiest connected account.

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": {
    "unread": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "true for unread only, false for read only"
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "1–250 (default 30)"
    },
    "cursor": {
      "type": "string",

    },

    }
  }
}

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",

    }
  }'

Returns

{ account, count, cursor, conversations: [{ id, name, inbox, kind, unread, lastAt, attendeeProviderId, muted, readOnly }] }. inbox is classic, sales_navigator, recruiter or organization; kind is inmail, sponsored or null.

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

{ "account": "Marcus Feld", "count": 1, "cursor": "…", "conversations": [{ "id": "1lb3…", "name": "Dana Whitfield", "inbox": "classic", "kind": null, "unread": 1, "lastAt": 1790000000000, "attendeeProviderId": "ACoAAB1x…", "muted": false, "readOnly": false }] }

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.
