Part of the [LinkedIn DMs setup guide](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin) , which covers every agent and how the connection works under the hood. Paste this into your coding agent, or run it yourself in a terminal. Agent prompt easier Terminal faster ## Set up Claude for LinkedIn DMs, step by step - 1 ### Create your SealGate account from this link If you do not already have a SealGate account, sign up at the link below. Starting from it pre-approves the Beeper connector for your new account, so after you install there is nothing to approve by hand. Already have an account? Skip ahead and you will approve Beeper once in the dashboard (last step). https://dashboard.sealgate.ai/start/personal-messaging?utm_source=sealgate.ai&utm_campaign=seo-connect&utm_content=linkedin-claude - 2 ### Install the messaging connector Run the one-line installer for your OS (macOS or Windows). It installs sealgate-stdiod and the Beeper connector, which bridges your messaging accounts through the Beeper desktop app on your own logins, and connects it to your SealGate account. If you signed up through the link above it is approved automatically; otherwise it waits for a one-time approval in your dashboard. macOS / Linux Windows (PowerShell) curl -fsSL https://sealgate.ai/install-beeper.sh | SEALGATE_UTM_CAMPAIGN=seo-connect SEALGATE_UTM_CONTENT=linkedin-claude bash $env:SEALGATE_UTM_CAMPAIGN='seo-connect'; $env:SEALGATE_UTM_CONTENT='linkedin-claude'; powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "irm https://sealgate.ai/install-beeper.ps1 | iex" - 3 ### Add SealGate as a connector in Claude In Claude.ai, the desktop app or Cowork, open Settings, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it SealGate, enter https://mcp.sealgate.ai/mcp as the URL and sign in with OAuth. On Team and Enterprise plans an admin adds it once for the organization. In Claude Code, run the command below, then type /mcp to sign in. claude mcp add --transport http --scope user sealgate https://mcp.sealgate.ai/mcp - 4 ### Approve the connector if you skipped the signup link If you created your account through the signup link above, Beeper is already approved, so you are done. Otherwise, open the SealGate dashboard and approve the Beeper connector once. Either way every call the agent makes is policy-checked and logged, and you can keep it read-only until you want the agent to reply on your behalf. - 5 ### Ask Claude Start a new conversation and say what you need. Claude reads the threads, drafts the replies and waits for your go-ahead before sending anything. Triage my unread messages and draft replies to anyone who asked a question. Please help me connect LinkedIn DMs to Claude through SealGate on my machine. If I do not already have a SealGate account, have me sign up at https://dashboard.sealgate.ai/start/personal-messaging?utm_source=sealgate.ai&utm_campaign=seo-connect&utm_content=linkedin-claude first, since starting there pre-approves the Beeper connector. Then follow the setup steps at https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/claude.md and stop whenever I need to act myself: approving this device in the browser when the installer asks, and, only if I already had an account, approving the Beeper connector in the SealGate dashboard. Requires macOS or Windows (Linux is experimental) with the Beeper desktop app installed. ## Connecting Claude Claude connects to the SealGate gateway as a custom connector, across Claude.ai, the Claude desktop app, and Claude Code. See the [Claude setup guide](https://sealgate.ai/docs/connect-clients/claude-web-cowork) for the exact steps. ## What Claude can do with LinkedIn DMs - Sync your LinkedIn DMs to your CRM so no conversation slips through. - Draft follow-ups to warm replies for you to review and send. - Triage inbound messages and surface the ones that look like real leads. - Pull context on a contact from a thread before your next call. Ready to let Claude handle your LinkedIn DMs? Paste the setup prompt into your coding agent and you are connected in a couple of minutes. Copy setup prompt [New to SealGate?

Claude calls the Beeper tools through SealGate in the order shown, and the founder decides what goes out. You: Triage my unread LinkedIn DMs and draft replies to the warm leads. Do not send anything yet. Claude: beeper_search_chats { unreadOnly: true, limit: 20, query: "linkedin", scope: "titles" } beeper_list_messages { chatID: "linkedin:maya-chen" } and 6 more 7 unread threads. 2 recruiters, 1 agency pitch, 4 replies to your outreach. Two look warm: 1. Maya Chen, Head of Security at a fintech, asked how the pilot is priced. 2. Daniel Okafor, VP Engineering, asked for a 20-minute demo next week. Draft to Maya: "Hi Maya, thanks for coming back to me. The pilot is a flat monthly fee for up to 25 seats, no setup cost. Happy to walk you through it on a 15-minute call. Would Thursday work?" Draft to Daniel: "Hi Daniel, yes, next week works. Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon?" Send both? (yes / edit / skip) You: Send Maya's as is. For Daniel, offer Wednesday only. Claude: beeper_send_message { chatID: "linkedin:maya-chen", text: "Hi Maya, thanks for coming back to me. ..." } beeper_send_message { chatID: "linkedin:daniel-okafor", text: "Hi Daniel, yes, next week works. Wednesday afternoon?" } Both sent. Want me to add these two threads to your CRM? ## Daily LinkedIn DM workflow - Morning triage: ask Claude to list unread threads with beeper_search_chats and sort them into leads, recruiters and noise before you open LinkedIn. - Follow-ups: for each warm reply, Claude pulls the thread with beeper_list_messages and drafts a response in your voice for you to approve. - CRM sync: Claude summarizes each conversation and writes the contact, stage and next step to your CRM, for example HubSpot, Attio or Twenty. - Reminders: for threads waiting on the other side, Claude sets beeper_set_chat_reminder so the chat resurfaces in three days unless they reply first. ## Keeping LinkedIn automation safe Everything runs on your own LinkedIn account through the Beeper desktop app on your Mac. There is no scraping and no session cookie handed to a third-party SaaS: Beeper holds the login, and SealGate only ever sees tool calls. Policies are set per agent in the SealGate dashboard. A common starting point is read-only, where Claude can search and list threads but beeper_send_message is blocked at the gateway, and sends are allowed once you trust the drafts. Every call is logged with the tool name, the time and the agent that made it. The log never stores message content, so you can review what Claude did without your conversations being kept anywhere. Claude drafts, you approve. The transcript above shows the pattern: it asks before calling beeper_send_message, and the send policy enforces the same boundary if a prompt or an incoming message ever tries to skip that step. ## Why connect LinkedIn DMs through SealGate One setup for every app, works with cloud and mobile agents, fully governed and logged, and your messages are never stored. ### One setup, every network The same command connects your whole unified inbox, so you are not wiring up a separate bridge for each app. ### Works with cloud and mobile agents A local daemon tunnels the connector out, so ChatGPT, Claude, and other cloud agents can use it, not just CLI tools. ### Governed and logged Every tool call runs through SealGate policies and lands in an audit trail that records only metadata, never your message content, so access stays under your control. ### SealGate never stores your messages Message content only passes through in transit to be checked against your policies, and is never stored or read by anyone at SealGate. ## Related guides [ChatGPT on LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/chatgpt) [Codex on LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/codex) [LinkedIn DMs to OpenCode](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/opencode) [Use Devin with LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/devin) [Connect GitHub Copilot to LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/copilot) [LinkedIn DMs to Grok](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/grok) [Use Grokbot with LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/grokbot) [Use Hermes with LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/hermes) [OpenClaw on LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/openclaw) [LinkedIn DMs to Lovable](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/lovable) [Use Replit with LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/replit) [Connect Muse to LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/muse) [Connect Town to LinkedIn DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/town) [Use Claude with WhatsApp](https://sealgate.ai/connect/whatsapp/claude) [Connect Claude to iMessage](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/claude) [Telegram to Claude](https://sealgate.ai/connect/telegram/claude) [Connect Claude to Signal](https://sealgate.ai/connect/signal/claude) [Use Claude with Instagram DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/instagram/claude) [Claude on Messenger](https://sealgate.ai/connect/messenger/claude) [Connect Claude to X DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/x/claude) [Connect Claude to Discord DMs](https://sealgate.ai/connect/discord/claude) [Connect Claude to LINE](https://sealgate.ai/connect/line/claude) [All LinkedIn DMs setups](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin) [SealGate vs other MCP gateways](https://sealgate.ai/comparison) ## Connecting LinkedIn DMs to Claude: FAQ Can Claude read and send LinkedIn DMs messages? Yes. Add the SealGate gateway as a connector in Claude and it can work with your LinkedIn DMs messages, whether you use Claude.ai, the desktop app, or Claude Code. Can an AI agent manage my LinkedIn DMs? Yes. Once connected through SealGate, your agent can read, draft, and send LinkedIn direct messages, from local tools or cloud apps like ChatGPT and Claude. Can it sync LinkedIn DMs to my CRM? Yes. Syncing LinkedIn conversations into a CRM is one of the workflows this was built for, so replies and context land next to the right contact automatically. Is automating LinkedIn messages safe? It runs on your own account through the Beeper desktop app, and SealGate logs the metadata of every action (which tool ran, when, and by which agent), never the content of your DMs. Keep a human in the loop for outreach: let the agent draft, and you approve before anything sends. What does SealGate store about my messages? SealGate routes each tool call to your connector and back, holding the request and response in memory only long enough to apply your policies, then discarding them. That check is automated: the gateway inspects the traffic programmatically to enforce your rules, and no one at SealGate can read your messages. They are never persisted and never used to train any model. SealGate keeps only call metadata (which tool ran, when, and which agent ran it), never the tool-call parameters or results, so your conversations and who you are talking to are never stored on SealGate's servers. Does it work with cloud agents, not just CLI tools? Yes. A small local daemon called stdiod tunnels your local LinkedIn connector to any cloud or mobile agent, so apps like ChatGPT and Claude can use it too, not just CLI tools on the same machine.
