Claude guide

Read a LinkedIn profile with Claude

Pull the public facts of one LinkedIn profile: headline, roles, education, location and followers.

1. Connect looot to Claude

In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
Click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector".
Name it looot and paste the remote MCP server URL https://api.looot.ai/mcp. Click Continue.
Review the authentication settings Claude detects and click Continue. Under Authentication pick "Sign in now" or "Sign in when needed". Under OAuth client, Anthropic recommends "Use Claude's published identity". Click Add.
looot's sign-in page opens: sign in with your looot account and allow access. Runs are paid from your prepaid looot balance.

Anthropic's help center says custom connectors work on Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise, and a Free account can add one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an Owner or Primary Owner adds it under Organization settings, Connectors, and each member then clicks Connect under Customize, Connectors.

In Claude Code instead: Add looot from your terminal with one command:

Command

claude mcp add --transport http looot https://api.looot.ai/mcp

Then type /mcp inside Claude Code and follow the browser sign-in.

2. Ask Claude

In a new chat, click the "+" button at the lower left, choose Connectors and switch looot on for this conversation. Then paste the prompt.

Prompt

Use looot to read the LinkedIn profile at [LinkedIn profile URL] with the job linkedin.person.profile, fallback on. Summarise the headline, current roles with start years, education and location in five lines. Use only what the profile returns.

3. Jobs it calls and what they cost

linkedin.person.profile
1 call, from $0.0012 per call (AnyAPI, the cheapest of 9 providers)
Compare providers About the cheapest provider

One use costs from $0.0012 at today's cheapest providers. A provider that misses can fall back to the next one, which can cost more; looot charges only the calls that ran, from your prepaid balance.
