Skill content
View source on GitHublinkedin-mcp-server
An MCP server that gives your LLM your own LinkedIn session. LinkedIn has no usable public API for reading profiles, companies, or jobs. This drives your own logged-in browser instead, so the model sees LinkedIn exactly as you do — no scraping API keys, no third-party data broker.
Under the hood it's one Python process. It reuses a real, persistent Chromium
profile (Patchright) that you log into once; from there the LLM gets 17 tools
to read profiles and companies, search people and jobs, browse your feed, and
read or send messages. Extraction reads rendered innerText and URL patterns
rather than brittle CSS classes, and connection/message state is detected from
locale-independent signals, so it survives LinkedIn's constant layout churn.
In short:
- Log in once — a QR-free browser sign-in stores a persistent session, or import an existing one from a browser you're already logged into.
- Point your MCP client at the server.
- Ask things like "what does williamhgates list under experience?" or "find backend jobs in Amsterdam posted this week".
Everything runs locally against your own account: the session lives in a local browser profile, the model only sees what a tool call returns. The usual caution applies — automating your own logged-in LinkedIn session carries account risk and an LLM that can send messages for you is a prompt-injection target, so use it with awareness.
