A LinkedIn MCP server that doesn't need your LinkedIn login
Reachlist is a hosted MCP server for LinkedIn data and work emails. Add one URL to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, then ask for people, companies and verified emails in plain language. You never share your LinkedIn password or cookies.
What your assistant can do with it
Once connected, your assistant can call these tools. Each one costs credits only as listed; a lookup that finds nothing costs nothing.
| Tool | What it does | Price |
|---|---|---|
get_person | A LinkedIn profile URL in, a clean profile out: name, headline, location, about, followers. Set raw for the full record, with roles and education where the provider has them. | 1 credit |
get_company | A LinkedIn company URL or a domain in, the company out: name, industry, size, location, website, description. | 1 credit |
get_job | A LinkedIn job URL in, the job post out: title, company, place, posted date, description. | 1 credit |
search_jobs | Job posts by title, place and company. Charged per 10 results returned. | 2 credits per 10 results |
search_people | People by job title, company and place, such as 'VPs of Sales at Series B SaaS companies in Berlin'. Charged per 10 results returned. | 2 credits per 10 results |
company_employees | People who work at a company, optionally filtered by title. Charged per 10 results returned. | 2 credits per 10 results |
find_email | A person's verified work email, from their LinkedIn URL or their name and company domain. Only addresses that pass verification and match the company's domain are returned. | 2 credits |
verify_email | One address in: valid, invalid or risky. | 0.25 credits |
find_phone | A person's phone number from their LinkedIn URL. Charged only when one is found. | 10 credits |
recent_posts | A person's most recent LinkedIn posts, for a personal opener. | 1 credit |
similar_companies | Companies like a seed company's domain. Charged per 10 results returned. | 2 credits per 10 results |
A typical request combines them: "Find 20 Heads of Talent at fintech companies in Berlin, with their work emails" runs a people search, then an email lookup for each person.
Connect it in two minutes
Claude.ai and ChatGPT
- In Claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add a connector in developer mode.
- Use this URL:
https://reachlist.app/mcp - Sign in with your email when asked and allow the connection. You can disconnect it from your dashboard at any time.
Cursor and Claude Code
Create an API key in your dashboard, then add the server. In Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http reachlist https://reachlist.app/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer rl_…"The setup guide has the Cursor configuration, and the REST API if you'd rather call the tools from your own code.
Hosted, or one you run yourself?
Open-source LinkedIn MCP servers are free to run, and many work by driving a browser signed in to your own LinkedIn account, or by reusing its session cookie. That has three costs:
- Your account. Automated activity on a personal account can get it restricted, and the account is usually the one you sell or recruit with.
- Upkeep. The browser setup breaks when LinkedIn's pages change, and it runs on your machine.
- No emails. A profile doesn't hold a verified work email; you still need a separate email finder.
Reachlist runs on its own servers, gets its data from providers of public professional information, and finds and verifies work emails in the same place. You pay per lookup in credits instead of with your account.
What it costs
Every account starts with 25 free credits, with no card. A profile lookup costs 1 credit, a company lookup 1 credit, a verified work email 2 credits when one is found, which is from 5¢ per email on a paid plan. You can set a monthly cap in your dashboard; a call that would pass it is refused before anything is spent. See the plans.
Questions
Does it need my LinkedIn account?
No. Reachlist never asks for your LinkedIn password or cookies, and nothing runs in your browser.
Which apps does it work with?
Any app that supports remote MCP servers: Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor and others. Without an AI app, you can call the same tools from the REST API or search from your dashboard.
What happens when a lookup finds nothing?
It costs no credits. Searches are charged per 10 results returned, so a search that returns nobody is free too.
Can my assistant spend too much?
Set a monthly cap in your dashboard: calls that would pass it are refused before any credits are spent, and the dashboard lists every call with its cost.
