LinkedIn Post MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets an MCP client (e.g. Claude) publish posts to a LinkedIn profile via the official LinkedIn API.

How it works

• 3-legged OAuth (member token) against LinkedIn (openid profile w_member_social) — the member authorizes once, the resulting access/refresh token is persisted locally and refreshed automatically.

• FastMCP server, HTTP transport on /sse. Authentication towards the MCP client is expected to be handled upstream (e.g. by an MCP gateway); here OAuth is only towards LinkedIn.

• Tools: import an existing token, run the interactive OAuth flow, post a text post (supports markdown formatting → LinkedIn richtext), inspect token state.

Setup

See SETUP.md for the full LinkedIn app configuration (credentials, redirect URI, scopes) and server deployment.

Quick start

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env   # then fill in LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID / LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET
python oauth_cli.py auth   # interactive 3-legged OAuth
python server.py            # start the MCP server

Configuration

All settings come from environment variables (see .env.example):
