How do I use LinkedIn MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@LinkedIn MCP Server Post on LinkedIn: Excited to launch our new product!" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

LinkedIn MCP Server

Full-stack MCP server that lets your AI agent (batabeto/OpenClaw) control LinkedIn as you — post, comment, like, manage your network.

Architecture

AI Agent (batabeto) ──MCP/HTTP──► LinkedIn MCP Server ──REST──► LinkedIn API
                                         │
                                   OAuth2 + Token Store
                                         │
                                    Dashboard UI

Setup Guide

1. Create a LinkedIn App

Go to LinkedIn Developers
Click Create App
Fill in: App Name, LinkedIn Page, Logo
Under Auth tab → Add Authorized redirect URLs:
```
http://YOUR_EC2_IP:3000/auth/callback
```
(or your domain if using nginx)
Under Products tab → Request:
- Share on LinkedIn (gives w_member_social scope)
- Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect (gives openid profile email)
Copy your Client ID and Client Secret

2. Install & Configure

git clone <your-repo> linkedin-mcp
cd linkedin-mcp
npm install

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Fill in .env:

LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
BASE_URL=http://YOUR_EC2_IP:3000
PORT=3000
MCP_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)

3. Run the Server

# Production
npm start

# Development (auto-restart)
npm run dev

# As a systemd service (recommended for EC2)
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/linkedin-mcp.service

systemd service file:

[Unit]
Description=LinkedIn MCP Server
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=ubuntu
WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/linkedin-mcp
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node server.js
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
EnvironmentFile=/home/ubuntu/linkedin-mcp/.env

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl enable linkedin-mcp
sudo systemctl start linkedin-mcp
sudo systemctl status linkedin-mcp

4. Authenticate LinkedIn

Open: http://YOUR_EC2_IP:3000
Click Connect LinkedIn
Authorize the app on LinkedIn
You'll be redirected back — status shows ✅ Connected

5. Connect to Your AI Agent

For OpenClaw (batabeto):

Add to your agent's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "url": "http://YOUR_EC2_IP:3000/mcp",
      "transport": "http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_SECRET_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "http://YOUR_EC2_IP:3000/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_SECRET_KEY"]
    }
  }
}

API Limitations (LinkedIn)

LinkedIn's public API is restricted. Here's what works vs what doesn't:

Feature	Status	Notes
Create posts	✅ Works	Text, articles, links
Delete posts	✅ Works	Your posts only
Like posts	✅ Works	Any visible post
Comment	✅ Works	Any visible post
Get your posts	✅ Works	Via UGC Posts API
Get connections	⚠️ Needs scope	`r_network_size` required
Search people	❌ Restricted	Needs Partner API
Send messages	❌ Restricted	Needs Partner Program
Image posts	🔜 Possible	Needs media upload flow

Security

The MCP endpoint is protected by MCP_SECRET_KEY — keep it secret
OAuth tokens are stored locally in data/tokens.json — don't commit this file
LinkedIn tokens expire in 60 days; refresh tokens last 365 days
The server auto-refreshes tokens when < 5 days remain

Open EC2 Port

# In AWS Security Group, allow inbound:
# Port 3000, TCP, from your agent's IP (or 0.0.0.0/0 for testing)

Or use nginx to proxy yourdomain.com/mcp → localhost:3000/mcp.

This server cannot be installed

license - permissive license

quality - not tested
