Provides a specialized REST API client with Swagger documentation for development and testing of LinkedIn functionality, offering endpoints for profile management, content creation, and networking.
Enables deployment of the MCP server as serverless functions on Netlify's hosting platform, making the LinkedIn integration available at a public URL.
Offers interactive API documentation through Swagger UI at the /docs endpoint of the FastAPI client, making it easier to explore and test LinkedIn integration capabilities.

Using with Claude Desktop
To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop:
- Go to Claude Desktop settings
- Enable the MCP Server configuration
- Edit the configuration file:
- Restart Claude Desktop
Using the MCP Client
The MCP client provides a REST API interface for interacting with the MCP server. It's built with FastAPI and offers a clean, modern API with automatic documentation.
Starting the Client
This will start the FastAPI server at http://localhost:8001. You can access the API documentation at http://localhost:8001/docs.
Managing the MCP Server and FastAPI Client
The template includes several scripts to manage both the MCP server and FastAPI client:
These scripts ensure processes keep running in the background even after you close your terminal, properly manage log files, and provide clear status information.
Testing the Client
You can test the client using the provided test script:
This will run a series of tests against the API endpoints and display the results.
