LinkedIn MCP Server
An open-source LinkedIn MCP server that lets your AI read profiles, company pages, and job postings — useful for candidate research and competitor team analysis.
A typical use is bulk research before hiring: hand it a set of candidate links and have the AI summarise what their backgrounds have in common. Or look at what roles a company is hiring for to infer where they're investing.

Why use it
Good for: recruiters, sales prospecting, and competitive analysis.
**Read this before connecting:** it scrapes using your logged-in session. LinkedIn's terms restrict automated scraping, and heavy use risks account limitation. It also returns real personal data, so how you store and use it must satisfy your local privacy laws.

Frequently Asked Questions
Could my account get banned?
It's a real risk. LinkedIn detects and limits automated access — keep usage light and don't run bulk jobs from your main account.
Does it use LinkedIn's official API?
No. The official API exposes very little of this data, so this server works through your logged-in session — which is exactly why the cautions above apply.
