“Hey do you mind if I take down your contact info, it was great speaking with you today and I’d love to stay connected”
For McKinsey, the format is first_last@mckinsey.com

That’s exactly what you do (ask your recruiting contact). But honestly, we don’t care - it’s a nice gesture but just another email taking up space in the inbox
We don't care about thank you notes, It doesn't move the needle at all on our decision. I get a ton of them, and frankly I don't even remember who sent them to me. Sure, it's nice, but there's no reason for you to stress out over them. And anecdotally, when I was getting my MBA I didn't send a single thank you note and I did quite well in recruiting.
LinkedIn, but honestly thank you notes are overdone. Don’t bother

It's irrelevant unless it's a really small company and you personally interviewed with someone very senior. It won't make any difference to the result (there's no scoring metric for - did they send a thankyou note?).
I asked my recruiter to thank them on my behalf
