Overview

What is LinkedInMCP?

LinkedInMCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a flexible, context-rich interface for interacting with the LinkedIn API. It is built for developers and LLMs (like Claude or OpenAI) to enable intelligent, type-safe LinkedIn data retrieval and operations.

How to use LinkedInMCP?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm, create a .env file with your LinkedIn Client ID and Client Secret, then build and start the server (npm run build, npm start). Integrate with Claude Desktop by adding a tool configuration that points to the server’s executable and provides the same environment variables. The LLM can then use tools such as search-people and get-profile to query LinkedIn.

  • Intelligent context management for API interactions
  • Secure, typed interactions using TypeScript and Zod
  • Extensible architecture for custom integrations
