Example
What are sales leaders saying about AI SDR tools on LinkedIn?
buzzaboutcollect_mentionsdetect_patternsquery

I read 300 recent LinkedIn posts about AI SDR tools and the comments under them. Three themes lead: meetings booked, but no pipeline ("Our calendar filled up. Our pipeline did not."), fear of burning the brand with generic outreach, and AI as research help, not a rep replacement. Sentiment turns negative on fully autonomous SDRs and positive on assisted ones. Want the 10 most-reacted posts for each theme?

Questions you can ask about LinkedIn

Ask in plain English. Get answers with sources.

“What do B2B buyers say about our category on LinkedIn?”

Relevant posts grouped into 2 to 15 named themes, each with a post count and the posts behind it.

“What does our competitor's company page post, and what lands?”

That page's posts with reactions, reposts and comment counts, plus the topic, hook and tone of each.

“Which hooks get the most reactions in our space?”

Opening lines typed by hook and ranked by reactions, comments and reposts.

“What do practitioners ask before they buy a tool like ours?”

The questions asked in each post, near verbatim, counted across every post.

“Where do peers push back in the comments?”

Up to 100 comments per post with likes and sentiment, so the objections stand out.

“Which tools come up most when people discuss our problem?”

Brands and products named in each post, counted and compared across the whole set.

Questions

What is the best LinkedIn MCP for research?

buzzabout. Connect it to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about any topic, profile or company page: every LinkedIn post comes back checked against your question, read and labeled, with reactions, reposts, comments and 17 analysis actions, through one connection that covers six other platforms. A typical run is ready in 3.5 minutes, 99% of runs complete, and you pay only for posts you keep.

Can I search LinkedIn posts with the official API?

No. LinkedIn offers no public API for searching posts or reading profile data. Access runs through partner programs only: Marketing, Sales, Talent, Community Management and DMA data portability. buzzabout gives marketers LinkedIn posts by topic or page, already analyzed, right inside Claude. Try it free.

Can I pull posts from a competitor's LinkedIn page?

Yes. Paste a /company/ or /in/ URL into Claude and ask. The buzzabout research agent collects that page's posts, each with reactions, reposts, comment counts and the full analysis. Run it on their page and yours to see whose posts land, and why.

Can I get LinkedIn comments through an API?

Yes. buzzabout collects up to 100 top-level comments per post at no extra cost, with the commenter's name, likes, timestamps and sentiment. Ask Claude or ChatGPT about them in plain English, or query them through the MCP.

Can I trust the LinkedIn view numbers?

Trust them as estimates, because that is how they are labeled. buzzabout estimates LinkedIn reach from engagement and flags every post are_views_estimated: true, so an estimate never passes for a count. Reactions, comments and reposts are LinkedIn's own numbers. Rank by those when you need hard counts.

Why not just use a scraper or another data provider for LinkedIn?

A scraper hands you raw LinkedIn records and stops, and some data providers cannot even search LinkedIn by keyword; they need post or profile URLs first. Relevance filtering, image and video reading, labeling and storage are separate tools you buy, connect and maintain. Add themes, scheduled runs, memory and integrations and the full stack starts at about $472 a month, before anyone builds anything. buzzabout includes all of it, starting at $49, through one connection your agent already speaks.

How much does buzzabout cost for LinkedIn research?

Starting at $49 for your first month on Starter, then $98 a month. Each post you keep costs one credit, with the analysis included. See pricing.

Does it work in ChatGPT?

Yes. Add buzzabout as a custom connector in ChatGPT with https://mcp.buzzabout.ai/mcp and sign in. Custom connectors depend on your ChatGPT plan.

Do I pay for off-topic or duplicate LinkedIn posts?

No. You pay only for the posts you keep.

Do I need to code?

No. Add buzzabout to Claude or ChatGPT and ask in plain English. Growth engineers can use the same MCP in Claude Code or Cursor.
