ZOOQ MCP — live LinkedIn data for AI agents
ZOOQ gives your AI agent real-time LinkedIn data — profiles, companies, jobs, posts, people search, job-change signals and email finding — as 44 clean MCP tools served from a hosted endpoint.
The important part: your agent never touches your LinkedIn account. Most LinkedIn MCP servers work by borrowing your logged-in session cookie, which puts your own account at ban risk and breaks every few weeks. ZOOQ runs on its own infrastructure. You paste one API key; your account stays out of it entirely.

Replace YOUR_ZOOQ_KEY with the key from zooq.dev/signup. That's the whole setup.
What your agent can do with it
Typical agent recipes:
- AI SDR —
search_people→profile_enrich→posts_all→ write a genuinely personalized opener →email_find_by_profile - Job-change trigger —
search_job_changeson your target accounts → congratulate/pitch the week they land - Account research —
companies_enrich+companies_employees_data+companies_jobs→ a briefing your agent writes itself
Why not a scraper or a cookie-based server?
Rate limits & good citizenship
Responses carry _meta.credits_remaining and _meta.hourly_cap_remaining — agents should pace themselves.
Default cap: 10,000 credits/hour. Errors are structured (-32005 = hourly cap, back off).
