Third-party facts checked on 2026-10-28.

Kiro can read your LinkedIn feed, messages and notifications, search LinkedIn, and draft posts, comments, messages and connection invitations through Finchreach’s remote MCP server. Add the server to Kiro and sign in to Finchreach (OAuth) or use your Finchreach API key; every write waits in your approval queue until you approve it.

## What can Kiro do on your LinkedIn?

Kiro sees the project you’re working on, so the LinkedIn post about a release or the reply to a technical question can come from the code itself instead of a blank page. You stay in the editor; the approval happens in Finchreach.

> Ask your assistant: “Turn this spec into a short LinkedIn post about the feature we’re building.”

> Ask your assistant: “Draft a LinkedIn message to the hiring manager I met at the meetup, based on their profile.”

> Ask your assistant: “Summarize the LinkedIn posts in my feed about AWS this week.”

| 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 Kiro drafts something?

1. Kiro 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. Kiro 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.

Headers and OAuth are supported; Finchreach uses the header.

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 Kiro?

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. Turn on MCP in Kiro’s Settings.
3. Command palette: “Kiro: Open workspace MCP config (JSON)” (`.kiro/settings/mcp.json`) or the user config (`~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json`).
4. Ask Kiro to list your LinkedIn accounts to check the connection.

.kiro/settings/mcp.json:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finchreach": {
      "url": "https://mcp.finchreach.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${FINCHREACH_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `lk_YOUR_KEY` with your key. The [step-by-step Kiro guide](https://finchreach.com/guides/kiro) has every step, a test prompt and troubleshooting.

## Questions

### Can Kiro post on LinkedIn without me?

No. With approval mode on, the default, every write Kiro 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 Kiro 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.
