LinkedIn MCP Server

🌐 LinkedIn MCP Server

A powerful Model Context Protocol server for LinkedIn API integration

📋 Overview

LinkedIn MCP Server brings the power of the LinkedIn API to your AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This TypeScript server empowers AI agents to interact with LinkedIn data, search profiles, find jobs, and even send messages.
