ZOOQ LinkedIn Data for AI Agents

ZOOQ MCP — live LinkedIn data for AI agents

ZOOQ gives your AI agent real-time LinkedIn data — profiles, companies, jobs, posts, people search, job-change signals and email finding — as 44 clean MCP tools served from a hosted endpoint.

The important part: your agent never touches your LinkedIn account. Most LinkedIn MCP servers work by borrowing your logged-in session cookie, which puts your own account at ban risk and breaks every few weeks. ZOOQ runs on its own infrastructure. You paste one API key; your account stays out of it entirely.

• Endpoint: https://zooq.dev/api/mcp (streamable HTTP)
• Auth: X-API-Key header — get a free key (300 credits, no card)
• Pricing: credit-based, pay for what you call. Failed upstream calls are auto-refunded.

What your agent can do with it

Category	Tools	Examples
Profiles (7)	full profile, enrich, employment history, similar people	profile_full, profile_enrich
Companies (11)	company info, employees data, insights, similar companies	companies_enrich, companies_employees_data
Search & signals (7)	people/company search, live search, job-change signals	search_people, search_job_changes
Jobs (6)	job search, details, hiring team	search_jobs, jobs_hiring_team
Posts & activity (5)	a person's posts, comments, likes	posts_all, posts_comments
Email finding (5)	find, verify, reverse lookup, domain prospects	email_find_by_profile, email_verify
Lookups (3)	skills, institutions taxonomy	g_title_skills_lookup

Typical agent recipes:

• AI SDR — search_people → profile_enrich → posts_all → write a genuinely personalized opener → email_find_by_profile
• Job-change trigger — search_job_changes on your target accounts → congratulate/pitch the week they land
• Account research — companies_enrich + companies_employees_data + companies_jobs → a briefing your agent writes itself

Why not a scraper or a cookie-based server?

	Cookie/scraper servers	ZOOQ
Uses YOUR LinkedIn account	Yes — ban risk is yours	Never
Breaks when LinkedIn changes	Constantly	Our problem, not yours
Setup	Browser profiles, cookies, captchas	One API key
Cost	"Free" until your account isn't	300 free credits, then pay-per-call

Rate limits & good citizenship

Responses carry _meta.credits_remaining and _meta.hourly_cap_remaining — agents should pace themselves. Default cap: 10,000 credits/hour. Errors are structured (-32005 = hourly cap, back off).
