Connect LinkedIn to Relato with the LinkedIn MCP

Give your AI Content Agents LinkedIn tools so they can draft and schedule posts straight from a Relato project.

Written by David Baum

Connect LinkedIn to Relato so your AI Content Agents can turn a finished project into a LinkedIn post and schedule it, without you leaving Relato.

What you can do

Once LinkedIn is connected, an agent can:

  • Draft a LinkedIn post from a project you have written.

  • Schedule that post for a time you choose.

  • Adapt the copy to your LinkedIn voice while it drafts.

Connect LinkedIn

In Relato open Settings > Integrations > MCP > Add account, paste the LinkedIn MCP URL, approve the OAuth prompt, and name the account. The name you give it prefixes that service's tools in the agent tool picker. Then attach the LinkedIn tools plus the Relato query and project tools to an agent, and set a trigger: a project stage change, a schedule, or manual. For the full walkthrough see Connect any MCP to Relato.

A good first agent

Create an agent called LinkedIn publisher. Attach the LinkedIn tools plus the Relato query and project tools. Set its instructions to: read the project when it reaches the Ready stage, write a LinkedIn post in first person, keep it under 1,300 characters, and schedule it for 9am the next weekday. Set the trigger to the stage change so the agent runs when a project is ready.

A note on OAuth

Relato's MCP integration is OAuth based. You can connect LinkedIn if it runs an OAuth capable MCP server that Relato can reach. If a public OAuth MCP for LinkedIn does not exist yet, tell us at [email protected] and we will help you find a path.

FAQ

Can the agent post directly or only draft? That depends on the tools the LinkedIn MCP exposes. If it offers a scheduling tool, the agent can schedule. If it only drafts, the agent hands you a draft to review.

Does it post to a company page or a personal profile? That is set by the account you connect during OAuth. Connect the account you want the agent to publish from.
