# What can Microsoft Copilot do on LinkedIn with Finchreach? Source: https://finchreach.com/integrations/copilot Third-party facts checked on 2026-10-28. Microsoft Copilot can read your LinkedIn feed, messages and notifications, search LinkedIn, and draft posts, comments, messages and connection invitations through Finchreach, with one condition: it works in Copilot Studio (a paid license on a work account), not in consumer Microsoft Copilot. Reads run right away; every write waits in your approval queue until you approve it. ## What can Microsoft Copilot do on your LinkedIn? Microsoft Copilot turns LinkedIn steps into repeatable workflows: draft a post from each new article, triage messages every morning, prepare invitations from a list. Every write still lands in the approval queue, so an automated flow never posts on its own. > Ask your assistant: “Build an agent that drafts a weekly LinkedIn post from our team’s Friday update, for my approval.” > Ask your assistant: “Summarize my LinkedIn messages from partners and list the ones waiting for a reply.” > Ask your assistant: “Draft connection invitations to the attendees on this event list, with a one-line note each.” | Reads (run right away) | Writes (wait for your approval) | | --- | --- | | `linkedin_list_accounts`: The LinkedIn accounts connected to your workspace | `linkedin_create_post`: A text post | | `linkedin_get_profile`: A LinkedIn profile | `linkedin_send_dm`: A direct message | | `linkedin_get_feed`: Your home feed | `linkedin_send_invitation`: A connection invitation, with an optional note | | `linkedin_get_notifications`: Your notifications | `linkedin_react_to_post`: A reaction on a post (like by default) | | `linkedin_get_conversations`: Your message threads | `linkedin_unreact`: Removes your reaction from a post | | `linkedin_get_messages`: The messages in a thread | `linkedin_comment_on_post`: A comment on a post | | `linkedin_search`: Search everything, posts, people or companies | `linkedin_delete_comment`: Deletes one of your comments | | `linkedin_get_received_invitations`: Coming soon: the connection invitations waiting for your answer | `linkedin_accept_invitation`: Coming soon: accepts a received invitation | | `linkedin_get_action`: The status of a write: waiting for approval, approved, rejected or done | | ## What happens when Microsoft Copilot drafts something? 1. Microsoft Copilot calls a write tool, for example `linkedin_create_post` with the text it wrote. 2. Finchreach doesn’t post it. It stores a pending action and tells the assistant it is waiting for approval. 3. You open [Approvals](https://finchreach.com/approvals), read the exact text and the account it would go out from, and approve or reject it. 4. Approved actions run on LinkedIn; rejected ones never do. Microsoft Copilot can check the outcome with `linkedin_get_action`. > Approval mode is on by default for every workspace. It is what makes it reasonable to let an assistant draft in your name. ## Does Microsoft Copilot work with Finchreach today? | | Microsoft Copilot | | --- | --- | | Remote MCP servers | Built in | | Finchreach (OAuth or API key) | Connects, with conditions | | How sure we are | High: from the official docs | | Checked on | 2026-10-28 | Copilot Studio offers None, API key (in a header or the query) and OAuth 2.0. Microsoft’s docs don’t say whether it adds `Bearer ` to an `Authorization` key, so the `X-API-Key` header, which Finchreach accepts with the bare key, avoids the question. Consumer Copilot has no documented way to add an MCP server. Requirements: A paid Copilot Studio license or a trial, on a work account. Power Platform data policies apply. Finchreach’s server, `https://mcp.finchreach.com/mcp`, uses Streamable HTTP (pasting the bare `https://mcp.finchreach.com` works too). It signs in with OAuth 2.1, where you log in to Finchreach and approve a LinkedIn account and scopes, or with an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer lk_…` or `X-API-Key`. ## How do I connect Microsoft Copilot? 1. Create an API key under [API keys](https://finchreach.com/api-keys) and connect your LinkedIn account under [Accounts](https://finchreach.com/accounts). 2. In Copilot Studio, open your agent → Tools → Add a tool → New tool → Model Context Protocol. 3. Enter a name, a description and the URL `https://mcp.finchreach.com/mcp`. 4. Ask Microsoft Copilot to list your LinkedIn accounts to check the connection. Copilot Studio API key settings: ```text Header name: X-API-Key Key value: lk_YOUR_KEY (or) Header name: Authorization Key value: Bearer lk_YOUR_KEY ``` Replace `lk_YOUR_KEY` with your key.

No. With approval mode on, the default, every write Microsoft Copilot makes through Finchreach (posts, comments, reactions, messages, invitations) becomes a pending action. You approve or reject it under [Approvals](https://finchreach.com/approvals) before anything happens on LinkedIn. ### Can Microsoft Copilot post images, schedule posts or manage a company page? Not through Finchreach today: posts are text only, there is no scheduling, and company pages and analytics aren’t supported. Writes happen when you approve them. ### Is it safe for my LinkedIn account? Any automation of a personal LinkedIn account carries some risk under LinkedIn’s User Agreement, and no tool can promise otherwise. Finchreach lowers it by keeping a person in the loop: nothing goes out until you approve it, and actions happen at your pace, not in bulk. ## Sources - [Microsoft Copilot docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/mcp-add-existing-server-to-agent) ## Related - [Step-by-step: connect Microsoft Copilot](https://finchreach.com/guides/copilot) - [A Monday LinkedIn briefing with Microsoft Copilot Studio](https://finchreach.com/blog/copilot-linkedin-monday-briefing) - [GitHub Copilot with LinkedIn](https://finchreach.com/integrations/github-copilot) - [All integrations](https://finchreach.com/integrations)
