Can Cursor post to LinkedIn?

Yes. Connect Cursor to xpost and it can write, schedule and publish LinkedIn posts for your account. Every post it creates lands in your inbox, and you can switch approvals on so they wait for your yes.

Do I have to approve every LinkedIn post it writes?

Only if you want to. Out of the box the post goes out and lands in your inbox; switch approvals on and anything an assistant creates is held for a human. No key, tool or prompt can approve a post.

Does Cursor need my LinkedIn password?

No. You connect your LinkedIn account to xpost yourself, the normal way, and Cursor only ever talks to xpost. It never sees a password or a token.

Does posting to LinkedIn from Cursor cost extra?

No. The connector and the API are included in every xpost plan, with no extra fee and no usage meter. You pay for the accounts you connect; posts are unlimited.

Cursor + LinkedIn

Post to LinkedIn from Cursor.

Connect Cursor to xpost once, and you can ask it for a LinkedIn post — written in the shape LinkedIn takes, and mailed to you before it goes out or the moment it has.

Connecting Cursor

Three steps, about two minutes. Once it is done, every network is available to it, not just LinkedIn.

1
Add the MCP server
In Cursor open Settings → Tools & Integrations → New MCP Server and paste this address.
2
Sign in to xpost
Press Connect beside xpost. Log in once in the browser and the connection is made.
3
Ask for a post
In the agent chat, say what you want, for which accounts and when. It comes back with a link to the post. Switch approvals on and that link is where you approve it.

What Cursor can make for LinkedIn

The same limits the composer checks, so a draft your assistant writes is one LinkedIn will actually take.

Post types	Post from a profile or a Page, PDF document carousel with a title
Pictures and video	Up to 9 photos, 1 video, or 1 PDF (on its own)
Caption length	Up to 3000 characters, counted as you type
First comment	Not yet
Tagging	Not yet
Also	A document title, alt text on pictures

What happens when you ask

It drafts, in LinkedIn's shape

Caption length, post types, what LinkedIn does with pictures — all of it is checked before the draft is saved.

It tells you

The post lands in your inbox with a link, before it reaches LinkedIn or the moment it has. Switch approvals on and nothing reaches LinkedIn until you say yes — and no key can say it for you.

You get a receipt

When it publishes, the LinkedIn account comes back with a link to the live post — and Cursor can read that too.
