Will this get my LinkedIn account restricted?

Needle enforces per-account daily limits, human-like cadence and a warm-up schedule for new senders, and it will refuse to exceed them. Suppression lists keep you from messaging customers, open deals, or people a colleague already contacted. The guardrails are on by default.

Which channels are supported?

LinkedIn, Instagram and email today, with WhatsApp and SMS coming soon. A single campaign can mix channels in one sequence.

No. You build lists from LinkedIn, Instagram and Places on the accounts you connect, with no credit meter, per-lead charge or top-ups. Your sending limits are the only ceiling.

How is messaging personalized?

Your agent drafts from the lead profile, the signals that made them match your ICP, and your own past conversations with them. You review the angle once per segment; Needle applies it per lead.

Needle — The agent-native outbound engine for GTM teams

Needle is an agent-native outbound engine for go-to-market teams. It ships as an MCP server, so you run lead generation and outreach campaigns directly from AI agents you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, or Needle Agents in Slack). You build ICP-targeted lead lists from LinkedIn, Instagram and Places signals, then launch multi-channel sequences that your agent drafts and personalizes — with built-in safety guardrails like daily send limits, warm-up schedules, and suppression lists. Most teams can have a campaign running within 15 minutes.

Key Features

MCP-native agent control

Needle ships as an MCP server you connect once, letting you run outbound from Claude (web, Cowork, Claude Code), ChatGPT (web, desktop, Codex), Grok Bot, Cursor, or Needle Agents in Slack — e.g., ask your agent for a list of European SaaS founders and start a LinkedIn sequence in one prompt.

Signal-based lead lists

Build targeted lists from LinkedIn people and companies, post reactions, Instagram likes, comments and followers, and Maps-style business search by category and city — with no credits, no per-lead charges, and no top-ups.

Multi-channel sequences

Run campaigns across LinkedIn, Instagram and email in a single sequence, with steps like send message, wait, and reply detection. WhatsApp and SMS are on the roadmap.

Agent-drafted, human-approved personalization

Messages are drafted from the lead profile, the signals that matched your ICP, and your past conversations with them. You review the angle once per segment and Needle applies it per lead; your agent can also prioritize replies and draft responses for approval.

Built-in safety guardrails

Per-account daily limits, human-like cadence, and a warm-up schedule for new senders — the tool refuses to exceed its own limits. Suppression lists automatically skip customers, open deals, and recently contacted people.

Campaign analytics and insights

A campaign funnel (sent → accepted → replied → booked) plus actionable insights, such as which segments reply more to case studies vs. feature lists and whether leads who engaged with your posts accept more invites.

How It Works

Connect an MCP client and a sender account

Start with an MCP client you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Needle Agents in Slack) and one LinkedIn, Instagram or email account to send from.

Ask your agent for a lead list

Describe your ICP and the agent searches Needle's sources (LinkedIn, Instagram, Places) to build the list, skipping people already in your CRM.

Launch and monitor the campaign

The agent creates a campaign, enrolls senders, and starts sending on a schedule. Needle tracks the funnel, prioritizes replies, drafts responses for your approval, and surfaces insights to improve each step.
