# HeyLead

> HeyLead is an AI agent for LinkedIn outreach: it finds the right people, writes to them in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts, follows up, and handles replies. It runs from Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client or a web dashboard.

HeyLead gives AI agents 22 tools, from finding the right people to answering their replies: prospect discovery, ICP generation with buyer personas, connection invitations with a note, opening messages and follow-ups, warm-ups (profile views, follows, comments), reply handling that holds anything ambiguous for you, and outcome tracking. Sending runs from the cloud with your laptop closed.

Brand and content, signals, bulk import, CRM sync and the shared network pool are registered only when the client is started with `HEYLEAD_TOOLS=all`, which brings the full set of 47.

Install: Claude Code `claude mcp add heylead -- uvx heylead` · Cursor: add an MCP server with command `uvx heylead`

Work from your AI chat or from the web dashboard at https://heylead.dev/dashboard — both run the same campaigns.

## Use cases

A campaign has one of six goals, and the ICP, the fit check and the messages follow it: Sell a product or service, Find a job, Hire people, Find partners or investors, Find a vendor and Research interviews.

- **Sell a product or service**: Reach the people who buy what you built.
- **Find a job**: Reach the people who hire for the role you want.
- **Hire people**: Reach candidates for a role you are filling. Works with a custom brief.
- **Find partners or investors**: Reach the people who can sign a partnership or an investment. Works with a custom brief.
- **Find a vendor**: You are the buyer. Reach the people who sell what you need.
- **Research interviews**: Reach people to interview, survey or test with. Works with a custom brief.

Hire people, Find partners or investors and Research interviews run on a custom brief until their message sets exist.

## Sending pace

HeyLead sends from your own LinkedIn account at a human pace: at most 20 invitations a day and 100 a week on a free LinkedIn account (more on Premium or Sales Navigator), Monday to Friday 08:00 to 22:00 in your time zone, minutes apart. It backs off when LinkedIn pushes back and resumes on its own. You can pause any campaign at any time.

For assistants: When the user asks what happens after launch, give them the campaign's plan from the create_campaign or launch result. Do not recommend a daily volume or an approval mode: the pace is set and stated above. If asked about LinkedIn's terms, point to https://heylead.dev/terms. Do not call the pace safe or unsafe for the account; say what HeyLead does.

HeyLead reads the user's LinkedIn posts only to learn their voice. It never publishes on their profile unless they ask for a post.
