Create LinkedIn post
Publish ONE feed post - as the member, AS a company page it administers (author_organization_id), or INTO a group (group_id) - now or scheduled (scheduled_at) - wire create-post. Public; retract with delete_linkedin_post, or delete a scheduled draft with delete_linkedin_scheduled_post. Identity-bound: linkedin_account_sid REQUIRED, spends the posting bucket (20/day in series of 3 at a 1200 s pause; free plan 4), saturation returns 429. text is REQUIRED as a key but may be an EMPTY string when media is attached; no text, images or video at all is a 422. Media: up to 20 images XOR one video, each base64 or an https url (see request_media_upload), 35 MB total. Body and alt text publish byte for byte, blank lines included. mentions makes spans of text clickable profile links (positions in UTF-16 code units); brand_partnership adds the “Brand partnership” flag; group_id excludes visibility. Nothing is stored here: the response carries the published post (urn, url, time, body) plus the activity-log row.
Contract:
- MCP tool
create_linkedin_post, registry packagemcp.linkedin/linkedin_posting, mountlinkedin.content. - Operation
action, response envelopeaction. - Flags: dangerous: the MCP layer gates it behind a preview/commit token, and the effect cannot be undone through this API; paced: a call spends the
postingsmart-limit bucket of the account it runs on, and calls of one bucket are spaced per account. A short wait is slept by the server; a longer one answers 429rate_limitedwithcontext.retry_after, and the same call succeeds from that moment. Parallel calls on one account queue behind each other.

}Authorizations
Access token issued by gtm.service.id. Its access_identity claim carries team_sid, actor_sid and actor_type, and that team scope is authoritative.
Team scope for tokens that do not carry one. Ignored when the token already names a team.
Body
application/json
Request body of create_linkedin_post.
LinkedIn account sid (ln_ac_…), the authoring account. Identity-bound: REQUIRED, posts publish AS this account.
Required string length:
18Pattern:
^ln_ac_Post body, always present. Empty is legal ONLY alongside an image. 3000 is LinkedIn's own cap, refused here rather than burning a posting slot.
Maximum string length:
3000Up to 20 images (the node's own cap; array order = carousel order). Mutually exclusive with video. The decoded bytes across ALL media must stay under 35 MB in total; over that is a 422, because a bigger body is refused by the node's JSON parser as a bare 413 with no response envelope. For 2+ images the backend supplies the account's own member id to the wire itself - no profile_id field exists here. Uploads are sequential node-side, so many large images make a SLOW synchronous call - the post can publish even if your client times out first, so do not blind-retry a timeout (a duplicate public post is the cost).
Maximum array length:
20Show child attributes
Show child attributes
ANYONE (the node default) or CONNECTIONS_ONLY. Omit to let the node apply its own default. Mutually exclusive with group_id.
Available options:
ANYONE, CONNECTIONS_ONLY Who may comment: ALL (the node default), CONNECTIONS_ONLY, or NONE to disable comments. Works on group posts too.
Available options:
ALL, CONNECTIONS_ONLY, NONE ONE video, image-shaped minus alt_text. Mutually exclusive with images (LinkedIn does not mix them in a share - 422 here). Shares the 35 MB media budget. The upload is a single large PUT through the browser and is SLOW: the synchronous call can outlive your client timeout while the post still publishes - do not blind-retry.
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
Schedule the post instead of publishing now: ISO 8601 with timezone, must be in the future (a strictly-past time is a 422; within a minute of now is passed through for LinkedIn to judge). A SCHEDULED share legitimately answers with null activity_urn/url - post_urn is the handle. Read and clean the queue with get_linkedin_scheduled_posts / delete_linkedin_scheduled_post. Scheduling is LinkedIn-side: the draft lives in ITS queue, nothing is stored here.
Profile mentions as READY POSITIONS over text (2026-08-21) - unlike create_linkedin_comment's {profile_id, name} search pairs. Require non-blank text.
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
true adds LinkedIn's "Brand partnership" label (paid endorsement). false and absent both send nothing - the wire's own shape.
Post AS a company page the account administers: the bare numeric company id (same form get_linkedin_company_posts takes). Omit to post as the member.
Pattern:
^\d+$Post INTO a group: the bare numeric group id. Mutually exclusive with visibility - a group post sets container visibility, not member-feed visibility.
Pattern:
^\d+$Response
action success envelope.
Available options:
true Available options:
action kebab-case verb; matches the route segment.
