What the publisher says
From the Linkedin repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
🔗 LinkedIn MCP
LinkedIn for AI assistants — structured data via a real, stealth browser session
Give Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client access to LinkedIn — profiles, people/job/company search, feed, messaging, and your network — as clean structured JSON.
22 tools · reads + gated writes (connect, message, post, react, comment) · a real safety layer (daily caps, human pacing, circuit breaker) · 166 tests.
⚠️ Automating LinkedIn violates its User Agreement and can get an account restricted. No tool is ban-proof — and this one says so up front. Use a secondary account; read Account safety and DISCLAIMER.md first.
Why this exists
LinkedIn's internal Voyager API (the one its own web app uses) returns rich, structured JSON — but it sits behind Cloudflare bot-management, which rejects plain HTTP requests (a stateless fetch or curl gets stuck in an endless redirect, even with a valid cookie). The only reliable way to read LinkedIn data programmatically in 2026 is from inside a real browser that clears the challenge.
This project's approach:
- Drive a real Chrome via patchright (an undetected Playwright fork) so Cloudflare's challenge is solved with a genuine browser fingerprint.
- Query Voyager from inside the authenticated page — same-origin, the exact network path LinkedIn's own SPA uses → structured JSON, not scraped DOM text.
That last point is the edge over DOM-scraping tools: in-page API calls are locale-independent and resilient to UI redesigns, so they don't break on a moved CSS selector or a translated label.
