LINKEDIN CLI · 55 USE CASES

Do 55 jobs on LinkedIn by typing one sentence

You ask in plain English. Your AI assistant — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — runs the LinkedIn CLI for you and brings back the answer. You never type a command.

Works on your own LinkedIn account, from $10/month, with zero ban risk.

Set up once, in about four minutes

Install it, paste your key, pick which LinkedIn account it acts as. After that you only ever write sentences.

your terminal
$ npm install -g @connectsafely/cli$ export CONNECTSAFELY_API_KEY=...$ csly list-linkedin-accounts$ export CONNECTSAFELY_ACCOUNT_ID=...$ csly skill install

The package is @connectsafely/cli on npm. You need Node 20 or newer. Nothing else to install.

Then say this once at the start of a chat, so your assistant uses the CLI instead of trying to read LinkedIn directly and hitting a login wall:

“Use the ConnectSafely CLI (csly) for anything that touches LinkedIn. Run csly commands to see what exists, and csly schema before calling one. Don't guess a command name.”
