Execution
Synchronous MCP tool call

Requirements

Provide one post target: post, post_id, post_url, or urn.

Example

Ask your agent

Extract everyone who commented on this LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/example.

Tool arguments
{
  "post_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/example",
  "preview_limit": 20
}
MCP response envelope
{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "{\n  \"data\": { ... },\n  \"meta\": null\n}"
    }
  ],
  "isError": false
}

Expected: A stored extraction with commenter profiles, an inline preview, and source_paging when LinkedIn has more comments.

Parameters

account_id
string

Connected SalesTouch account id, username, email, handle, or account URL.

postrequired
string

LinkedIn post id, activity URN, social id, or URL.

include_replies
boolean

Also extract people who replied to comments. Defaults to false because each reply thread requires additional LinkedIn requests.

source_cursor
string

Opaque continuation cursor returned by source_paging.next_cursor. Use it to resume LinkedIn comment extraction without starting over.

url
string

LinkedIn source URL.

limit
integer

Maximum items to extract.

preview_limit
integer

Maximum preview items to return inline. Defaults to 20.

Aliases are shown independently because MCP clients send a flat JSON object. Use one alias from each required group, not every alias.
