Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check LinkedIn every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add linkedin-api-mcp -- uvx linkedin-api-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-api-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "linkedin-api-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

[mcp_servers.linkedin-api-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["linkedin-api-mcp"]

  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-api-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "linkedin-api-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: LINKEDIN_COOKIE (Your LinkedIn li_at session cookie. Optional if you have already stored it in the OS keyring with `linkedin-api-mcp auth`, which is the recommended route: this cookie is equivalent to being logged in as you.), LINKEDIN_HEADLESS (Run the browser headless. Defaults to true; set to 0 to watch what it does.), LINKEDIN_MIN_INTERVAL (Minimum seconds between LinkedIn actions. Defaults to 2.), LINKEDIN_MAX_PER_HOUR (Hard ceiling on LinkedIn actions per rolling hour. Defaults to 120. The server refuses past this rather than sleeping, so an agent in a loop is told to stop.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

LinkedIn — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for LinkedIn?
LinkedIn runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package linkedin-api-mcp was installed 166 times last week.
How do I connect LinkedIn?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls linkedin-api-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use LinkedIn?
The pypi package linkedin-api-mcp was installed 166 times in the last week. Week over week that is +18%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is LinkedIn open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 2 stars on GitHub and 10 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
