What can Claude do on LinkedIn?
On LinkedIn, Claude can post long-form text, images and native video to your profile. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text, Image and Video posts
LinkedIn takes text, image and video through ClipSpeed. Text-only posts work today. Video: MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB by public link, or a finished ClipSpeed clip. Image: JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 25 MB by public link.
3,000 characters, checked at booking
LinkedIn's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and Claude books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked LinkedIn post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. Claude shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best as native video on LinkedIn. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Text and image posts on LinkedIn are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 3 a day. Video on LinkedIn is at least 4 hours apart, up to 2 a day under your plan. After a post goes out, Claude can read back views and engagement where LinkedIn provides them.
How does Claude post to LinkedIn through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Claude makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your LinkedIn channel
Ask Claude whether LinkedIn is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what LinkedIn accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. Claude drafts within LinkedIn's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.
LinkedIn settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to LinkedIn. Mention any of them in plain language and Claude sets them; the server checks them at booking.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on LinkedIn |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "linkedin". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
text | string | Yes for a text post | Up to 3,000 characters. The first 210 or so show before 'see more', so the agent is told to put the point first. |
hashtags | string[] | No | Appended and counted toward 3,000. Three to five is the norm. |
media_kind | text | image | video | No | Detected from the file when omitted. |
clip_id or media_url | string | No | A ClipSpeed clip, or a public https link to an image up to 25 MB or a video up to 1 GB. Leave both out for a text post. |
scheduled_at | ISO 8601 | No | Exact or refused with the next open slot. Omit to post as soon as possible. |
preview | boolean | No | Plan only; nothing is booked. |

Ask Claude for any of these and it applies the matching settings.

LinkedIn limits and gotchas to know
LinkedIn enforces a few rules that Claude and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- 3,000 characters including hashtags. Over that, the booking is refused with the exact count, never trimmed.
- LinkedIn shows roughly the first 210 characters before 'see more'. Tell the agent to lead with the point.
- Video on LinkedIn is capped at two posts a day, four hours apart, because more than that reads as spam and hurts your own reach. Text and image posts are capped at three a day, an hour apart.
- Company pages are not part of the agent tools today. Posts go to the profile you connected; this page does not claim pages until they post.
- Carousels and documents are not supported. One image, one video or text only per post.
| Rule | |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text, Image, Video (text-only posts work today) |
| Text limit | 3,000 characters |
| Title | No title field |
| Links in the caption | Kept; LinkedIn turns the first link into a preview card |
| Pacing | Text and image posts on LinkedIn are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 3 a day. Video on LinkedIn is at least 4 hours apart, up to 2 a day under your plan. |
| Formats | Image: JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 25 MB by public link. Video: MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB by public link, or a finished ClipSpeed clip. Aspect: 1:1 or 4:5 for images, 9:16 or 1:1 for video |
| Status | Posting today |
What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Claude does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Claude picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on LinkedIn. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Claude shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on LinkedIn. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image or video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Claude can make an image or a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
What is Claude?
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available in the browser at claude.ai, as a desktop app for Mac and Windows, and on iOS and Android. It reads files, browses, and reaches outside tools through connectors built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With the ClipSpeed connector added, Claude can clip a video, generate an image or a short video, and schedule posts to your connected platforms, all from a normal conversation.
How ClipSpeed works with Claude
- The connector exposes ClipSpeed's tools to Claude:
list_channels,platform_settings,schedule_post, list_scheduled_posts, cancel_scheduled_post, post_analytics, plus clipping and generation - Claude reads each platform's rules before composing, so a 280-character X post and a 100-character YouTube title come out right the first time
- A time you name is booked exactly or refused with the reason and the next open slot; it is never moved quietly
preview: trueshows the plan with every slot and nothing booked; you approve and Claude books- Sign-in is OAuth; Claude never sees a platform password and ClipSpeed never sees your Claude account

LinkedIn and Claude: frequently asked questions
How do I post to LinkedIn from Claude?
Open Claude on the web or desktop, then Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it ClipSpeed and paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp as the URL. Save. Connect LinkedIn in ClipSpeed (or ask Claude for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. Claude reads the LinkedIn rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes.
What can Claude post to LinkedIn through ClipSpeed?
Post long-form text, images and native video to your profile. LinkedIn takes text, image and video posts, and text-only posts work today. Text is limited to 3,000 characters.
Which LinkedIn settings can Claude control?
The fields in the settings reference above: text, hashtags, media_kind, clip_id or media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and Claude sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a LinkedIn API key or developer account?
No. You connect LinkedIn to ClipSpeed once through LinkedIn's own sign-in, and Claude talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No LinkedIn developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many LinkedIn posts a day can Claude schedule?
Text and image posts on LinkedIn are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 3 a day. Video on LinkedIn is at least 4 hours apart, up to 2 a day under your plan. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.
Can posts go out to LinkedIn while I am away?
Yes. Once booked, ClipSpeed publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not Claude is open. For unattended runs that decide what to post, use a headless agent such as Claude Code or Codex with the same account.
Is posting to LinkedIn from Claude different from Claude Desktop?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. Claude: claude.ai, the claude desktop app, ios and android. Claude Desktop: mac and windows app, can read a folder of exports and post from it.
