About linkedin-mcp-server
stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server
This MCP server allows Claude and other AI assistants to access your LinkedIn. Scrape LinkedIn profiles, companies and jobs, and perform job searches.
Implements browser automation with Patchright (a Playwright fork) and persistent profiles to bypass LinkedIn's anti-scraping measures, replacing deprecated cookie-based authentication. Exposes seven MCP tools for granular profile/job data extraction with explicit section selection, supports both stdio and HTTP transports, and serializes concurrent requests through a shared browser session to maintain LinkedIn login state.
