01// about this endpoint

Find professionals similar to a given LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn's recommendation algorithm surfaces people with comparable roles, industries, skills, and career trajectories. Perfect for talent sourcing, building look-alike audiences, and expanding candidate pipelines from a seed profile.

02// code samples

03// give it to your agent

Copy-paste prompt

Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_linkedin_get_similar_profiles, and runs a first call — with the REST fallback if MCP is unavailable.

You are wiring up the superagnt "LinkedIn" API to use this endpoint: Get Similar Profiles.

1. CONNECT over MCP (preferred). No token to paste either way.
   On Claude (claude.ai, the desktop app, or Claude Code signed in with a Claude
   account), the server is a connector: give the user this link, they click Add
   and approve:
     https://claude.ai/customize/connectors/yours?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=superagnt&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.superagnt.com%2Fmcp&open_in_browser=1
   Any other MCP client (or Claude Code signed in with an API key): add the server
   and let the client run the browser sign-in:
     claude mcp add --scope user --transport http superagnt https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
     claude mcp login superagnt
   MCP endpoint: https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
   After connecting, the tool you want is named exactly:
     data_linkedin_get_similar_profiles
   Call agnt_tools_search or agnt_tools_list_enabled to confirm it is available.

2. REST fallback (if you are not using MCP):
     GET https://api.superagnt.com/similar-profiles
     Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
   Required parameters:
    - url (string, required)
   Optional parameters:
    - (none)

3. COST & KEY. Each successful call costs $0.009 in credits. Only successful calls are charged.
   Get a superagnt API key at https://app.superagnt.com.

4. TEST. Connect the server (or set the key), discover the tool
   (data_linkedin_get_similar_profiles), run one minimal call with just the required parameters,
   and report back the shape of the JSON response (top-level fields).
