What you can do through MCP

MCP provides 19 tools that your AI app can use:

  • Drafts -- Create, edit, search, and delete drafts
  • Publishing -- Publish posts directly to LinkedIn (max 3,000 characters, plain text only)
  • Scheduling -- Schedule posts for specific times (rounded to 15-minute intervals)
  • Content -- Browse published posts, scheduled posts, collections, and templates
  • Contacts -- Search and browse saved contacts and lists
  • AI Images -- Generate images using Gemini with 8 styles (infographic, minimal illustration, bold text, social proof screenshot, comic storyboard, realistic portrait, diagram/flowchart, custom)
  • Voice Profile -- View and update your voice profile for personalized writing

LinkedIn does not render markdown. All post content created through MCP must be plain text. AI image generation requires a Gemini API key connected in Settings > AI Models & API.
