Search People
/search-peopleSearch LinkedIn's professional network with keyword, company, title, and location filters. Returns paginated results with profile summaries. This powers talent sourcing, lead discovery, and market research workflows where you need to find people matching specific professional criteria. Combine with profile endpoints for deep enrichment of search results.
Call it over REST
Authenticate with a bearer token against https://api.superagnt.com. Swap the placeholders for your key and parameter values.
curl -s "https://api.superagnt.com/search-people?firstName=<firstName>&geo=<geo>" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>"Copy-paste prompt
Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_linkedin_search_people, 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: Search People.
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_search_people
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/search-people
Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
Required parameters:
- (none)
Optional parameters:
- firstName (string, optional)
- geo (string, optional) — please follow this to find location id
- keywordTitle (string, optional)
- start (string, optional) — it could be one of these; 0, 10, 20, 30, etc.
- lastName (string, optional)
- company (string, optional) — Company name
- keywordSchool (string, optional)
- keywords (string, optional)
- schoolId (string, optional)
3. COST & KEY. Each successful call costs $0.009 in credits. Only successful calls are charged.

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