Run your LinkedIn outreach through Claude . You send from your own account, with your approval.
Cadenza learns how you write from messages and posts you already shared, then drafts in your phrasing and opens with genuine common ground.
Built on linkedin-mcp-server
Cadenza is a hosted remote MCP server built on the open-source project. Connect it directly in Claude; self-hosting remains the free optional path. Every message goes out from your own account, only after you approve it.
You know exactly who to message. The note is still in your drafts.
There is a list in your head of people worth reaching: the founder who would make a great partner, the candidate who would say yes to the right note, the prospect one good message away from a reply. You open the chat to write the first line, and it goes nowhere.
So you ask an AI to draft it, and it hands you a press release with your name on top. You rewrite the whole thing, which is slower than writing it yourself. Generic openers are the ones people scroll past, and you can feel it before you hit send.
Then the week gets busy, and outreach is the first thing you drop. The warm intro cools, the candidate signs somewhere else, and the thread you meant to restart is three months old.
Your outreach, handled inside Claude.
The open-source server reads profiles, companies, jobs, and your inbox. Cadenza is the premium server: it writes in your voice, posts and comments, reaches people outside your network, edits your profile, and works with Sales Navigator and Recruiter.
No new tool to adopt
Drafting and review run as tool calls inside the Claude you already use. There is no separate app to learn.
More than the basics
The open-source server covers the basics for free. Cadenza adds the actions it lacks, in your voice and from your own account.
Sounds like you.
Your Writing Profile learns from messages, posts, and the drafts you approve. New drafts carry your phrasing, including how you open and sign off.
From draft to sent
You approve every draft, then Cadenza sends it through your own connected account.
Stay close to the people who matter
The contacts who move your work forward deserve more than a template. Cadenza drafts in your voice, and you stay the sender.
What you actually get
Five things stay with you: your Writing Profile, first notes beyond your connections, approval before every send, your limits, and a morning brief on replies.
Get CadenzaIt starts with messages and posts you already shared, then keeps learning from the drafts you approve. Your openers, sign-offs, and message rhythm carry across every session.
The free server stays free. Here is what the paid layer adds.
Cadenza is a hosted remote MCP server built on the open-source project. All current open-source tools stay free and maintained under Apache 2.0. Self-hosting remains an optional free path where you keep your own session and can read every line. Nothing ever moves from free to paid.
So why pay? You can rebuild the drafting yourself with the free read tools and your own prompts. What a prompt cannot give you is a Writing Profile that persists. The free way means re-explaining how you write in every new chat, and it still reads like a press release.
The paid layer hosts the parts you do not need to stand up yourself: a Writing Profile that lives between sessions, Sales Navigator search and lead lists, a first message to people you are not yet connected to, and delivery through your own connected account. An ordinary draft waits for one-tap send; exact follow-up texts can be approved together as a delivery plan. When one is due, Cadenza checks the live thread before preparing it and stops on a reply or a failed check. Reply tracking tells you who answered. Your subscription also funds maintenance of the free server.
Connect Cadenza
Cadenza runs as a hosted remote MCP server. Connect it in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok and use it from the assistant you already have open.
The hosted professional layer built on open source
Cadenza Premium is the hosted layer: premium tools and a managed connection, with no server for you to install or manage.
