In short
ChatGPT and Claude can work with LinkedIn through Octapost, a social media platform that works as a remote MCP server. Once connected, your assistant drafts text posts, posts with up to 20 images and video posts, designs editable visuals at 1200 × 627 for landscape images, 1200 × 1200 for square images and 1080 × 1920 for vertical video and reads analytics such as impressions, reach, likes, comments, shares and clicks. It saves drafts only: you review them and publish or schedule from Octapost. Plans start at $14 a month.
What your assistant can do for LinkedIn
Drafts made for LinkedIn
Captions, hashtags and media are prepared in the formats LinkedIn supports: text posts, posts with up to 20 images and video posts.
Visuals at the right size
Designs come out at 1200 × 627 for landscape images, 1200 × 1200 for square images and 1080 × 1920 for vertical video, as editable layers in the Octapost image editor, so you can still change any word or photo.
It asks before it assumes
LinkedIn needs no extra settings. The assistant drafts for your personal profile or for a company page you administer, whichever you pick.
Answers from your analytics
Ask what worked last month. It reads impressions, reach, likes, comments, shares and clicks that Octapost has already synced, for up to 90 days.

Frequently asked questions
Can ChatGPT or Claude post to LinkedIn directly?
Not through Octapost. Your assistant prepares the post as a draft, with media and settings, and gives you a link. You open it in Octapost and publish or schedule it yourself, so nothing goes live without a person approving it.
Does it work with Claude as well as ChatGPT?
Yes. Octapost is a remote MCP server, so ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other apps that support remote MCP servers with OAuth connect with the same URL: https://www.octapost.app/api/mcp.
Is Octapost in the ChatGPT or Claude app directory?
Not yet. You add it as a custom connector, which takes about a minute and needs no API key. Custom connectors may require a paid ChatGPT or Claude plan.
Which plan do I need?
Any paid Octapost plan, from $14 a month. Free trials do not include assistant access. Writing is done by your own assistant; generated images use your Octapost AI tokens.
Can it draft for my LinkedIn company page?
Yes. Octapost connects your personal LinkedIn profile and any company page where you are an administrator. Posts on personal profiles may report fewer metrics, because LinkedIn shares less data for them.
Is Octapost the same as Octopost or Oktopost?
No. Octapost, spelled with an a, is the social media platform at octapost.app. It is not affiliated with Octopost (octopost.ai or getoctopost.com) or Oktopost (oktopost.com).
