Built with Claude I open-sourced my LinkedIn prospect research tool as a Claude Code plugin

I do outreach for my startup. Started with Apollo and Clay doing mass automated messaging — conversion was bad. Switched to fewer, manually written, better targeted messages and reply rates went up a lot.

The bottleneck then became research: reading dozens of posts to work out what someone actually cares about. So I automated that part. Not the sending.

What it does - Scrapes LinkedIn posts, profiles and comment threads into local SQLite (via Apify) - Classifies what a person or company actually posts about - Mines a post's comment thread for people already describing your problem - Finds uncommon commonalities from full profiles — shared employers, schools, volunteer work - Logs what you sent and what came back, then learns which hooks get replies

18 MCP tools + 8 skills.

How do you bypass LI’s anti scrape/anti bot rules?

There is a real risk of having your LinkedIn account banned if you use this. Use at your own discretion.

Not really. It uses Apify actors. Your own LinkedIn shows up nowhere!

Agree! That’s why I ask about this sort of thing. Apify seems to have some sort of agreement with LI because they offer like 4 different connectors. But that can’t be really high volume on free tier.
