# LinkedIn Post Preview

> Generate a shareable LinkedIn post preview link from any AI tool — using the anchors MCP.

<Note>
  The anchors MCP lets any AI tool save a LinkedIn post draft and instantly return a shareable preview link — no browser, no login, no copy-pasting. The link opens a pixel-perfect preview that looks exactly like LinkedIn, with mobile and desktop toggle built in.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your AI tool">
    Add the anchors MCP server to your AI tool using the URL above.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI writes the post">
    Your AI drafts the LinkedIn post content — text, author name, tagline, images.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call save_linkedin_post">
    The AI calls `save_linkedin_post` with the post data. anchors stores it and returns a `uniqueString`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get the preview link">
    The shareable preview URL is constructed using the `uniqueString`:

    ```
    https://collab.anchors.in/linkedin-post-preview?id={uniqueString}
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review before publishing">
    Anyone with the link can open it — no login needed. Toggle between mobile and desktop to review exactly how it will look on LinkedIn.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Retrieve later if needed">
    Call `get_linkedin_post` with the `uniqueString` to fetch the saved post data at any time.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The preview link

```
https://collab.anchors.in/linkedin-post-preview?id={uniqueString}
```

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="No login required" icon="lock-open">
    Anyone with the link can view the preview — no anchors account needed.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mobile + desktop toggle" icon="mobile">
    Switch between both views to review exactly how the post reads across devices.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pixel-perfect preview" icon="eye">
    Looks exactly like a real LinkedIn post — not a raw text block.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Instantly shareable" icon="share">
    Send to brands, creators, or clients directly from your AI tool output.
  </Card>

<Warning>
  Replace `{uniqueString}` with the value returned by `save_linkedin_post`. The link is accessible to anyone who has it — do not share drafts with confidential content broadly.
</Warning>

## Use cases

### Brand–creator approval flow

A brand briefs a creator via AI. The AI drafts the post, saves a preview, and returns a link. The brand reviews and approves before anything goes live — no more reviewing raw text in a doc or email thread.

```
User:  Draft a LinkedIn post for Priya announcing our product launch.
       Add my brand feedback and save a preview link.

AI:    [calls save_linkedin_post with content, influencerName: "Priya Sharma",
        tagline: "Founder · HR Tech", suggestionComment: "Add the pricing CTA in line 3"]

       Preview link:
       https://collab.anchors.in/linkedin-post-preview?id=abc123xyz

       Toggle mobile/desktop to review before sharing with Priya.
```

***

### LinkedIn ghostwriting

Write a post in any AI tool — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT with MCP — and instantly share a visual preview with your client. They see exactly how it will look before you hit publish. No more "can you paste it somewhere I can read it properly."

***

### Content agencies at scale

Loop through multiple creator drafts in a workflow. Generate one preview link per creator. Send each link for individual sign-off. All automated — no manual copy-pasting between tools.

***

### No-code workflows via Make or n8n

A form submission triggers a post draft. The anchors MCP saves it. The preview link is sent via email or Slack for human review — all without writing any code beyond the workflow config.

***

### Full approval loop via AI agent

An agent writes the draft, saves a preview, attaches `suggestionComment` from the brand, and sets `isApproved: false`. The creator gets the link, reviews feedback, revises, and the loop continues — all tracked through the MCP.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need an anchors account to use this?">
    No. The MCP handles the save operation. Anyone with the preview link can view it without logging in.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I edit a saved post?">
    Not directly. Save a new post with the updated content using `save_linkedin_post` and share the new link.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is the preview link public?">
    Anyone who has the link can view it. It is not publicly indexed or listed anywhere — only people you share the link with can access it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which AI tools does this work with?">
    Any tool that supports MCP — including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, n8n, Make, and more.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does isApproved actually do?">
    It is a metadata flag stored with the post. It does not automatically trigger any action on anchors — your workflow decides how to use it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I retrieve a post I saved earlier?">
    Yes. Call `get_linkedin_post` with the `uniqueString` returned at save time to retrieve the full post data.
