MCP Server Linkedin

🚀 LinkedIn MCP Server

A LinkedIn MCP server that interacts with the LinkedIn Community Management API.

This MCP server:

• Can run on a local or remote host, using the HTTP + SSE transport defined in MCP.
• Implements the Draft Third-Party Authorization Flow in the MCP Standard, delegating authorization to LinkedIn's OAuth authorization server.

⚠️ Important Note

Currently, the status of the third-party authorization flow proposal is draft. As far as I know, the only MCP client that implements this protocol specification is MCP Inspector.

✨ Features

Tools

• user-info - Retrieve information (name, profile, and avatar) of the currently logged-in user.
• create-post - Create a new post on LinkedIn.

📦 Installation

Follow these steps to run the LinkedIn MCP server on your host. You need to provide your own LinkedIn client.

Requirements

• Node 22 (lts/jod)
• pnpm 10
• A LinkedIn client with the Community Management API product, and add http://localhost:3001/callback to the authorized redirect URLs.

Steps

• Install dependencies:

pnpm install

• Create an environment file and fill in your LinkedIn client credentials and a random string key for JWT_SECRET:

cp .env.template .env && vi .env

• Start the server:

pnpm run dev

• Configure your favorite MCP client to use this new server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/sse"
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Start MCP Inspector to debug this server. This command can be run via the package manager script:

pnpm run inspector

Access the inspector at http://localhost:5173 in your browser.
