For people who post on their own profile
LinkedIn analytics
you can just ask.
Ask Claude what actually happened to the posts you published. Real numbers from LinkedIn’s official API, not another chart to interpret.
Checkout first, then you connect LinkedIn. No trial, and read-only access that can never post as you.
How did my posts do last month?
→get_performance_summary · 30 days
20,806 impressions, down 73% on the previous month. Your engagement rate went the other way though, 0.78% to 1.27%, up 63%. Fewer people saw your posts and noticeably more of them did something about it.
Which post got the most reach?
→get_top_posts · by impressions
The one about reviewing 200+ DevRel CVs, at 9,498 impressions. It earned 20 reactions and 1 comment, an engagement rate of 0.22%. Your satirical Developer Advocate job ad did 7,498 impressions and 0.92%, so it reached 21% fewer and landed four times harder.
Was it the hashtags?
I can’t tell you that. LinkedIn’s analytics API reports what a post did, not why, and it gives me no breakdown by hashtag or by traffic source. What I can say is that the reach was unusual and the engagement was not, which is more consistent with distribution than with the copy.

Works wherever you already work
What you can ask
Questions, not dashboards.
Each of these maps to a real tool your assistant calls on your behalf. It reads the numbers, then answers in a sentence you can act on.
“How did my posts do last month?”
get_performance_summary“Which of my posts got the most reach?”
get_top_posts“Is this month better or worse than last?”
compare_periods“Which days were unusually good or bad?”
detect_anomalies“What do my best posts have in common?”
get_content_insights“How did that one post actually perform?”
get_post_performance“What does my reach look like day by day?”
get_daily_trend“How fresh is this data, really?”
get_data_status
It will also tell you when the data cannot answer the question, which is more often than most analytics tools admit.
How it works
Three steps, then just ask.
No exports to download, no spreadsheets to keep current, no dashboard to log into out of habit.
- 01
Connect your LinkedIn
One read-only permission, granted on LinkedIn's own consent screen. LinkIntel can read how your posts performed and nothing else. Revoke it there whenever you like.
- 02
Your history builds itself
We pull your post performance from LinkedIn's official API and keep it current, so when you want to compare this month to last, the history is already there.
- 03
Point your assistant at it
One command, or one block of JSON if your client uses a config file. From then on you ask questions in the assistant you already have open.
$ claude mcp add --transport http linkintel https://www.getlinkintel.com/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"Using Claude Desktop, Cursor or another client with a JSON config? The equivalent block is in the MCP docs.
The permission
One scope. Read-only. Yours to revoke.
LinkIntel asks LinkedIn for the narrowest access that makes the product work and nothing beyond it. You grant it on LinkedIn's own screen, and you take it back there too.
It can
- Read impressions, members reached and engagement for posts you published yourself
- Read reactions, comments, reshares, saves, sends and link clicks on those posts
- Keep that history current so month-to-month comparisons are possible
It cannot
- Post, comment, react, message or follow as you, ever
- See your messages, connections, feed or profile viewers
- See anybody else's posts, or any Company Page
The single scope requested
r_member_postAnalyticsWe hold no write permission of any kind, so this is a matter of capability rather than policy. Your metrics are never sold, never shared, and never used to train models.
Pricing
One plan. No trial to forget to cancel.
LinkedIn’s API allowance limits how many profiles we can keep synced each day, so the places are genuinely finite. Price is what allocates them.
A free tier would spend one of those places on somebody who tried it once, at the expense of somebody who wanted it. A cap on its own would just hand them to whoever arrived first.
If we are full, you will be told before you are asked to pay, not after.

How to Download Your LinkedIn Analytics Data
Step-by-step instructions for personal profiles and company Pages.
Does LinkIntel access my LinkedIn account?
Yes, in one narrow way. You grant a single read-only permission, r_member_postAnalytics, on LinkedIn's own consent screen. It lets us read performance metrics for posts you published yourself. We never see your password: LinkedIn handles the sign-in and only hands us a token for that one permission.
Can LinkIntel post, comment or react on my behalf?
No. We hold no write permission of any kind, so it is not a matter of policy but of capability: the integration cannot publish, comment, react, message or follow. If you ever see LinkIntel ask for a write permission on LinkedIn's consent screen, something is wrong and you should decline it.
What exactly can it see?
Performance metrics for your own posts: impressions, members reached, reactions, comments, reshares, saves, sends and link clicks. It cannot see your messages, your connections, your feed, your profile viewers, or anybody else's posts.
How do I disconnect it?
Go to LinkedIn's permitted services page and remove LinkIntel. You do not need to ask us or wait for us, and it takes effect immediately. You can also ask us to delete the metrics we have already stored.
What does it cost?
$19 a month, and there is no trial, so there is nothing to remember to cancel. You pay before connecting your LinkedIn account. Cancel whenever you like and it keeps working until the end of the month you have paid for.
Why is there no free tier?
LinkedIn's API allowance limits how many profiles we can keep synced each day, so places are genuinely finite. A free tier would spend one of them on somebody who tried it once, at the expense of somebody who wanted it. If we are full, we will tell you before taking any money.
Do I need Claude to use this?
LinkIntel is delivered as an MCP server, so it is designed to be asked questions through an AI assistant that supports MCP, such as Claude. There is also a web view of the same data if you would rather look at it directly.
Who owns my data?
You do. Your metrics are stored against your own account, visible only to you, and are never sold, shared with third parties, or used to train models. You can request deletion at any time.
Is my data secure?
Metrics are stored in our own infrastructure on encrypted, access-controlled cloud hosting, scoped so that one account cannot read another's. We store the minimum needed to answer questions about your posts, and no LinkedIn password ever reaches us.
How current are the numbers?
Your metrics sync automatically, and LinkIntel will tell you how fresh the data is and how many of your posts are measured rather than quietly presenting a partial picture as a complete one. You can also trigger a fresh pull yourself.
I run a LinkedIn company Page, not a personal profile. Can I use this?
No. LinkIntel reads the posts you publish on your own profile. Organization Page analytics is a different LinkedIn API that this product no longer covers.
Your posts already have the answers.
Start asking for them.
Connect once. Your post performance stays current, and the assistant you already use can tell you what worked, what did not, and what merely travelled.
Checkout first, then you connect LinkedIn. No trial, so nothing to remember to cancel.
