LinkedIn Carousel Post via PDF

Post a LinkedIn carousel by uploading a local PDF through Vista Social.

Prerequisites

cloudflared installed (brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared)
Python 3 (for local HTTP server)
Vista Social MCP connected (via Blotato or direct)
LinkedIn profile ID: 265575 (Samin Yasar)
Profile group ID: d64800e0-993a-11ee-a895-df742b1174ec (Group 1 - Mains)

Workflow

Step 1: Locate the PDF

Find the carousel PDF on the local filesystem. Common locations:

/Users/saminmacmini/Projects/instagram-carousels/output/
User-specified path

Step 2: Expose PDF via Public URL

LinkedIn document posts require a publicly accessible URL. Use cloudflared quick tunnel:

# Start local HTTP server in the PDF's directory
cd /path/to/pdf/directory
python3 -m http.server 8765 &

# Start cloudflared tunnel
cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8765
# Note the https://*.trycloudflare.com URL from output

Step 3: Upload to Vista Social

Use createMedia to import the PDF as a document:

Tool: mcp__claude_ai_Vista_Social__createMedia
- profile_group_ids: ["d64800e0-993a-11ee-a895-df742b1174ec"]
- media_url: ["https://<tunnel-url>/carousel.pdf"]
- type: document
- name: carousel.pdf

Step 4: Create the Post

Use schedulePost with the PDF URL:

Tool: mcp__claude_ai_Vista_Social__schedulePost
- profile_id: 265575
- network_code: linkedin
- publish_at: "now" (or ISO 8601 future date)
- message: "<post caption>"
- media_url: ["https://<tunnel-url>/carousel.pdf"]

For drafts, add draft: true.

Step 5: Verify & Get Link

Use getPost with the returned post ID. The response includes published_link with the live LinkedIn URL.

Step 6: Cleanup

Kill the HTTP server and cloudflared tunnel processes.

Key Notes

LinkedIn renders PDF documents as swipeable carousels natively
The tunnel only needs to stay up until Vista Social downloads the PDF (usually seconds)
Vista Social stores the document on its CDN (CloudFront) after upload
Documents can ONLY be shared on LinkedIn (not other networks via Vista Social)
Always preview/draft before publishing unless user explicitly says to publish
