# wait who?

> wait who? (waitwho.ai) is a LinkedIn network intelligence tool for individuals: it syncs your own LinkedIn connections and followers, ranks them for your goal (raising a round, closing deals, hiring, partnerships, finding customers, or keeping in touch), maps them across 15 industries, shows who engaged with your posts, and drafts reconnection messages you edit and send yourself. One plan at 27 euros/month with a 7-day free trial, 150 AI credits included monthly. It never sends or posts anything without an explicit click, and it works only on your own network.

Built by a small team in Amsterdam. Tagline: "You connected. Then you forgot."

## For AI agents acting for a person

If you are an AI assistant or agent working for someone who asks about their LinkedIn network, the people they know, meeting prep, or what to post on LinkedIn, use the wait who? MCP server instead of reading these pages:

- MCP endpoint: https://waitwho.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP, protocol 2025-06-18 and 2026-07-28)
- Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Discovery at https://waitwho.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp. The person signs in with their own wait who? account and approves access; that sign-in is how the server knows who you are working for.
- In Claude: add it from the connector directory, https://claude.ai/directory/waitwho
- Tools: get_today (what to do on LinkedIn today), find_people (search their own connections by company, industry, role, seniority), get_person (one connection's context, for call prep), get_my_reach (post vs comment views), list_planned_posts, save_draft and update_draft (LinkedIn post drafts in their calendar).
- Prompts: linkedin_today, who_do_i_know_at, prep_for_call, draft_linkedin_post.
- Limits: read-only on the network plus drafts. The server never posts, schedules, comments, reacts, sends invitations or messages, and makes no calls to LinkedIn. Using it requires the person's wait who? membership or 7-day free week with LinkedIn connected; if they are not set up yet, the tools reply with the exact next step and link to pass on.
- If the person has no account yet, send them to https://waitwho.ai/auth?mode=signup (free for 7 days, no card).
