Setup Detection Protocol

1. Call list_connected_integrations.

   • Tool not available → MCP not connected. Present these steps inline to the user:
     1. Sign in at rarefriend.com → Settings → Integrations → MCP → copy the Client ID and Client Secret
     2. Claude Code / Codex: run claude mcp add rarefriend -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_ID=your_id -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret -- npx -y @rarefriend-ai/mcp
     3. Cursor: add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json under mcpServers.rarefriend with command: npx, args: ["-y", "@rarefriend-ai/mcp"], and the two env vars
     4. Claude Desktop: add the same block to claude_desktop_config.json
     5. Restart the client, then try again

2. Check if LinkedIn contacts are in the CRM:

   search_contacts("", source="linkedin", limit=1)
   

   • Results found → LinkedIn is synced. Proceed to the user's request.
   • No results → Don't assume it hasn't been synced. Continue to step 3.

3. Call get_integration_sync_status("linkedin") to check the actual sync state:

   • connected: false → LinkedIn has never been set up. Run the LinkedIn Sync Setup below.
   • lastJob.status: "running" or "pending" → Sync is currently in progress. Tell the user:

     "Your LinkedIn sync is running right now — contacts will appear once it finishes. Large networks can take a few minutes. Try again shortly." Do NOT show the sync setup instructions.

   • lastJob.status: "completed" with lastSyncAt set, but no contacts → Sync completed but found 0 contacts (network was empty or all were filtered). Tell the user and suggest checking LinkedIn in the web app.
