Installation

Client Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "--rm", "-i",
        "-e", "LINKEDIN_COOKIE",

      "env": {
        "LINKEDIN_COOKIE": "li_at=YOUR_COOKIE_VALUE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Getting the LinkedIn Cookie

<details> <summary><b> Chrome DevTools Guide</b></summary>

1. Open LinkedIn and login
2. Open Chrome DevTools (F12 or right-click Inspect)
3. Go to Application > Storage > Cookies > https://www.linkedin.com
4. Find the cookie named li_at
5. Copy the Value field (this is your LinkedIn session cookie)
6. Use this value as your LINKEDIN_COOKIE in the configuration

</details> <details> <summary><b> Docker get-cookie method</b></summary>

Run the server with the --get-cookie flag:

docker run -it --rm \
  stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server:latest \
  --get-cookie

Copy the cookie from the output and set it as LINKEDIN_COOKIE in your client configuration. If this fails with a captcha challenge, use the method above.

[!NOTE] The cookie will expire during the next 30 days. Just get the new cookie and update your client config. There are also many cookie manager extensions that you can use to quickly copy the cookie.
