Building a daily outreach agent with Claude + MCP

From zero to a Claude Desktop MCP connection running every morning at 09:00 CET. The exact config, the exact prompt.

The "Tell Claude once, wake up to warm replies" pitch on our landing page is real — this post is exactly how to wire it. MCP config, the standing prompt, the Claude Skill, and a 5-minute morning review workflow.

Step 1 — install the LinkFetch MCP server

In Claude Desktop, add the LinkFetch MCP server to your config and drop in your API key. The server exposes linkfetch.profiles, linkfetch.companies, and linkfetch.outreach.queue as tools. No custom glue — Claude calls them directly.

Step 2 — write the standing prompt

One paragraph. Describe the ICP (role, seniority, company stage), the cadence, and the invite style. Claude uses this prompt every morning as the seed for the day's run. Example: "Every morning at 09:00, find 10 new VP Engineering hires at Series-B fintechs and queue a 2-line warm intro for each that names their last role."

Step 3 — review in 5 minutes

Queued invites sit in your LinkedIn outbox as drafts until you hit send. Coffee, scroll, approve. That's the whole loop.

The outbound half of the pipeline finds new prospects every morning. For the inbound half — scoring every new signup against your ICP before your first call — see ICP enrichment on inbound signups.
