What the publisher says

From the LinkedIn repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.JohannsenLum/linkedin-api-mcp -->

linkedin-api-mcp

Disclaimer: This is an independent, community project. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or sponsored by LinkedIn Corporation or Microsoft. "LinkedIn" is a registered trademark of LinkedIn Corporation and is used here only descriptively to identify the third-party service this software interoperates with.

An MCP server for LinkedIn. It drives a real, headless browser (patchright, an undetected fork of Playwright) using your own logged-in LinkedIn session cookie. There is no scraping API, no credential stuffing, no bypass of LinkedIn's login. Your agent gets 12 read tools (profiles, companies, jobs, posts, your inbox) and two write tools, kept deliberately separate: sending a message and sending a connection request. Every action goes through a single browser session, one at a time, paced against limits you control. See Safety below.

Documentation: mcp.johannsenlum.com/linkedin

Install (one-click)

Deeplinks exist for Cursor and VS Code only; no other client has a documented install-link format. These prefill the command below, nothing else needs filling in since the cookie lives in your OS keyring, not an environment variable.

All clients

Claude Code

claude mcp add linkedin -- uvx linkedin-api-mcp

Claude Desktop: claudedesktopconfig.json

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json

No one-click install exists for Claude Desktop (it installs .mcpb bundles, not deeplinks). Copy this JSON in via Settings → Developer → Edit Config:
