Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what Iridium is, how it works, and what it costs.
What is Iridium?
Iridium is a Model Context Protocol server that gives an AI agent access to LinkedIn. The agent reads current profiles and posts, takes real actions such as commenting, sending connection requests, and messaging, and writes every action to a log you can read. You review and approve before anything is sent. It runs as a web app and as an MCP server you can use inside Claude.
How do you get LinkedIn data, and are you scraping?
No. Iridium does not scrape LinkedIn and does not operate a crawler or a harvested profile database. All LinkedIn connectivity is brokered by Unipile, a third-party provider that specialises in authenticated account access. You connect your own LinkedIn account through Unipile's hosted flow. Your password is entered on Unipile's page and is never received or stored by Iridium, which only ever holds an opaque account handle. Every search, profile view, message, and comment Iridium performs runs as you, through that authenticated session, inside per-account rate limits. Disconnecting from Settings revokes the session at Unipile immediately.
Can I see what the agent actually did?
Yes. Every attempted action is written to an append-only log: what ran, when, whether it succeeded, and the exact text that was sent. Failed actions are recorded too, with the reason. You can read it in the Activity screen in the web app, or ask your agent directly, since the log is exposed to it as a tool. Asking "did that actually post?" gets an answer from the record rather than from the conversation.
How does LinkedIn MCP outreach work?
Iridium exposes its outreach, commenting, and content tools through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. You connect Iridium as an MCP connector in Claude, then ask Claude to draft, review, or schedule LinkedIn outreach in plain language. Every action produces a draft that waits for your approval. The same tools are available in the Iridium web app.
Is Iridium safe to use with my LinkedIn account?
Iridium is human-in-the-loop by design: nothing is sent until you approve it, and you set the pace. It connects to LinkedIn through Unipile, a third-party session provider, and does not store your LinkedIn password. Automated outreach carries inherent account risk, so Iridium keeps volumes reviewable and gives you control over every send. You remain responsible for using it within LinkedIn's terms.
How much does Iridium cost?
The Solo plan is $20 per month. It includes one LinkedIn account, live profile and post data, commenting, connections and messaging, post drafting and scheduling, the inbox, the full activity log, MCP access for Claude and other clients, and email support. There is a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, and you can cancel anytime.
Do I need Claude to use Iridium?
No. Iridium is a complete web app on its own. The MCP server is an optional second surface for people who prefer driving their outreach from Claude. You can use either or both.
Does Iridium write in my voice?
Yes. You provide example messages and posts, and Iridium uses them to match your tone. Each draft is also scored for how robotic it reads, so low-quality drafts are filtered before they reach your review queue.
What happens to my data?
Profile and post data is retained for a maximum of seven days by default and then deleted on the next processing cycle. When you delete your account, your LinkedIn session is destroyed immediately and your personal data is erased within 30 days. See the Privacy Policy for details.
