Namanyay Goel · September 10, 2026 · 3 min read On this page - [What the video shows](#what-the-video-shows) - [Try it](#try-it) - [Questions people ask about running LinkedIn outreach from Claude](#questions-people-ask-about-running-linkedin-outreach-from-claude) Getting sales from LinkedIn is three jobs: finding the right leads, writing messages worth answering, and following up until the deal closes. Most startups hire three or four GTM people to cover them. This 32 second video shows the alternative: PumpGTM installed as an MCP server, so you tell Claude to find your buyers and set up a sequence, and it runs the outreach from your own LinkedIn account, pausing the moment someone replies. The video is also on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bHLnE9m-ns) and the original went out on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdGAW0NR9g-/). ## What the video shows - Leads. Claude asks PumpGTM for the buyers who match your website and are showing intent right now, with the reason each one is relevant. - Messages. A two-line connection request and short follow-ups, drafted from the reason the person was selected, for you to approve. - Follow-ups. The sequence keeps going until someone answers, then stops on any reply so a human takes over. The same loop, with the numbers behind it, is written up in [how we run founder-led outbound for 10 YC companies](/blog/ai-founder-led-outbound-system). ## Transcript How to run an entire LinkedIn team just by using Claude. To use LinkedIn to get sales, you need to do three things. You need to get leads, you need to write great messages, and you need to keep following up till you get the sale. Normally, startups hire a team of three to four GTM people to do that. But I've just found this AI tool that will automate all of the hard work. You can install it as an MCP, and then you just tell Claude to find you the leads and set up a messaging sequence. It will do all of the work, and this same technique is being used by top startups in San Francisco and Y Combinator. And you can get that too. ## Try it [Connect your AI to PumpGTM](/mcp) to run this from Claude, or start at [pumpgtm.com](https://pumpgtm.com/) and enter your website to see the first prospects before anything is sent. ## Questions people ask about running LinkedIn outreach from Claude Does Claude send messages on its own? No. PumpGTM proposes the prospects and the messages; nothing goes out until you approve the list and the sequence. Which AI clients work? Anything that speaks MCP: Claude Desktop and Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients. Setup is on the [Connect your AI page](/mcp). Is it safe for my LinkedIn account? Sending is paced inside LinkedIn's weekly limits from your own account, and every reply pauses the sequence for that person. The rules we follow are in [the multi-touch LinkedIn checklist](/blog/multi-touch-linkedin-outreach-review).
