Is there an MCP server for LinkedIn outreach?

Yes. HeyLead is an MCP server for LinkedIn outreach. Install it with `uvx heylead` in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP client. It finds prospects, writes connection requests and messages in your voice, follows up and handles replies. The source is on GitHub under the MIT licence: github.com/D4umak/linkedin-outreach-mcp.

Does the HeyLead MCP server send messages as soon as it is installed?

No. A campaign is saved as a draft and nothing is sent until you launch it. After launch, sending stays within daily and weekly limits and a weekday sending window, and campaign(action='emergency_stop') pauses everything.

A LinkedIn MCP server that does the outreach

Last updated 19 September 2026

HeyLead is an MCP server for LinkedIn outreach. Add it to Claude, Claude Code or Cursor, say who you want to reach, and it finds the people, writes to them in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts, follows up and handles the replies.

Most LinkedIn MCP servers give your AI raw access: read a profile, search people, send one message. HeyLead is built one level up, around the campaign. Your AI describes the audience, and HeyLead runs the outreach from start to finish.

Install

HeyLead is a Python package. It runs over stdio with uv:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add heylead -- uvx heylead

# Any MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, ...)
{"heylead": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["heylead"]}}

Then sign in at heylead.dev, connect LinkedIn, and paste the setup message from Settings → Integrations → Chat client into your chat. There is also a remote endpoint at https://heylead.dev/mcp (streamable HTTP, signed in with the token from the same setup message).

What it does

Finds the right people. Turns a plain description ("CTOs at Series A fintech in London") into buyer personas and LinkedIn searches, then scores each person for fit.
Writes like you. Reads your LinkedIn profile and posts and writes connection requests and messages in that voice.
Follows up. Sends follow-ups after a connection is accepted and stops when someone replies.
Handles replies. Reads each reply, answers questions and moves interested people toward a meeting. You can set it to watch only, and answer by hand.
Reports back. Pipeline, replies and outcomes in your chat or on the web dashboard.

It works for sales, recruiting, partner and investor outreach, job search and LinkedIn posts. Selling is the most developed of these.

The tools

HeyLead has 35 MCP tools. Each tool covers one area and takes an action argument. The ones you will use most:

setup_profile: connect your account and learn your writing voice
generate_icp: build buyer personas from a description
create_campaign: find prospects and save a draft campaign
campaign: launch, pause, resume or emergency-stop
check_replies and inbox: read and answer replies
show_status and analytics: pipeline and results

The full list is in llms-full.txt.

How it reaches LinkedIn

Through Unipile, an independent connectivity provider. HeyLead is not a Chrome extension and does not drive a browser to use LinkedIn. On the hosted plan HeyLead provides the connection, and outreach runs from the cloud with your laptop closed. Self-hosted installs bring their own Unipile account and LLM key; see the open-source page.

What keeps it in check

A campaign is a draft until you launch it, so you see the prospects first.
Invitations and messages stay within daily and weekly limits for each account, with randomised timing.
Sending happens on weekdays, 08:00 to 22:00 in your own time zone.
campaign(action="emergency_stop") pauses everything at once.

None of this removes the risk. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits automated invitations and messages, and LinkedIn can restrict an account that uses them. Our Terms say so plainly.
