How to schedule LinkedIn posts with Claude

Connect Claude to LinkedIn in about a minute, then write, schedule and edit your posts from a conversation. No copying and pasting between tabs.

Claude is good at turning rough notes into a LinkedIn post. The annoying part is what happens next: copy the draft, open LinkedIn, paste it, fix the formatting, pick a time. With a connector, Claude can put the post straight into your posting queue instead, and it goes out on its own.

This guide uses PostHonk, a LinkedIn scheduler with a connector for Claude. It takes about a minute to set up.

What you need

A Claude account. Custom connectors work on claude.ai and in the Claude desktop and mobile apps.
A PostHonk account with your LinkedIn profile connected. Every plan starts with a free week; you can start one here.

Connect Claude to PostHonk

Your connector URL is https://posthonk.com/api/mcp. It's also on the Apps page once you're signed in. Then, in Claude:

1Open Settings, then Connectors.
2Choose Add custom connector and name it PostHonk.
3Paste your PostHonk URL and click Add, then Connect.

Claude opens a PostHonk window and asks you to approve the connection. After that, PostHonk shows up in Claude's list of tools, and you can disconnect it at any time from PostHonk's Apps page or from Claude's settings.

Write and schedule a post

Talk to Claude the way you normally would. When you're happy with a draft, ask for it to be queued:

Turn these notes into a LinkedIn post, keep it under 150 words, and add it to my PostHonk queue.

PostHonk drops the post into the next free slot on your posting schedule and tells Claude when it will go out. If you want a particular time, say so:

Schedule that for Thursday at 8:30am.

Check and change what's queued

Claude can also see your queue, edit posts and remove them:

What's in my PostHonk queue this week?

Make Thursday's post shorter and drop the last line.

Remove the post about the conference from my queue.

Everything Claude does shows up in your queue on posthonk.com too, so you can always check or tweak a post by hand.

Tips for better results

Give Claude your raw material. Notes from a meeting, a voice memo transcript or a half-finished thought make better posts than "write me a LinkedIn post about leadership".
Batch a week at once. Ask for three or four posts in one go, review them together, then queue the ones you like. Your schedule spreads them out.
Keep your voice. Paste in two or three of your past posts and ask Claude to match the tone.

Is it safe?

The connection only lets Claude manage your PostHonk queue: add, list, edit and remove posts. It can't read your LinkedIn messages or anything else on your account. You approve the connection yourself, and you can remove it at any time.
