Datamagnet MCP Server

Live LinkedIn people, company, post and job data, ICP search and job-change signals for AI agents, as a hosted MCP server.

https://mcp.datamagnet.co/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Auth: OAuth 2.1 (most clients sign in through the browser), or a Datamagnet API key as a bearer token
  • Official MCP Registry: co.datamagnet/datamagnet
  • Pricing: 10 free credits on signup, no credit card; tools cost the same credits as the Datamagnet API

This repository holds the server's public metadata and setup instructions. It contains no server source code: the server is hosted and maintained by Datamagnet, so there is nothing to install or run.

What it does

Paste a LinkedIn profile, company, post or job URL and your assistant gets structured data fetched at request time, not from a stale snapshot. It can search for people and accounts that match an ideal customer profile using plain-language filters, pull the people who commented on or reacted to a post, and look up a company's funding history.

It also manages standing signal monitors: watch a list of champions for job changes, or find people engaging with posts about a topic, and Datamagnet notifies you by email or webhook. Write tools are annotated so clients ask before they run; deleting a monitor is marked destructive.
