MCP support
Datamagnet provides a hosted MCP server over Streamable HTTP. MCP clients can use OAuth 2.1 or a Datamagnet API key to call its LinkedIn lookup, search, and signal-monitor tools.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

This repository holds the server's public metadata and setup instructions. It contains no server source code: the server is hosted and maintained by Datamagnet, so there is nothing to install or run.
What it does
Paste a LinkedIn profile, company, post or job URL and your assistant gets structured data fetched at request time, not from a stale snapshot. It can search for people and accounts that match an ideal customer profile using plain-language filters, pull the people who commented on or reacted to a post, and look up a company's funding history.
It also manages standing signal monitors: watch a list of champions for job changes, or find people engaging with posts about a topic, and Datamagnet notifies you by email or webhook. Write tools are annotated so clients ask before they run; deleting a monitor is marked destructive.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
