A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to LinkedIn. Access profiles, companies, and job postings through a Docker container.

Quick Start

Create a browser profile locally, then mount it into Docker. You still need uv installed on the host for the one-time uvx mcp-server-linkedin@latest --login step. Docker already includes its own Chromium runtime, so the managed Patchright Chromium browser download used by MCPB/uvx is not needed here.

Step 1: Create profile on the host (one-time setup)

bash
uvx mcp-server-linkedin@latest --login

This opens a browser window where you log in manually (5 minute timeout for 2FA, captcha, etc.). The browser profile and cookies are saved under ~/.linkedin-mcp/. On startup, Docker derives a Linux browser profile from your host cookies and creates a fresh session each time. For better stability, *** the https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server#-uvx-setup-recommended---universal.

Already signed into LinkedIn in a browser on the host? Run uvx mcp-server-linkedin@latest --import-from-browser on the host to reuse that session instead of --login. It supports Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi, ***, Yandex, and Naver Whale, auto-picks the most recently used browser with a live LinkedIn session (pass a browser name to target one), writes the same ~/.linkedin-mcp/ profile Docker mounts, and the Docker bridge still narrows to the minimal auth cookie subset it uses for a normal session. Cookies under Chrome 127+ app-bound encryption cannot be imported; use --login in that case.

Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop with Docker

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "--rm", "-i",
        "-v", "~/.linkedin-mcp:/home/pwuser/.linkedin-mcp",
        "stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Docker containers don't have a display server, so you can't use the --login command in Docker. Create a source profile on your host first.

Note: stdio is the default transport. Add --transport streamable-http only when you specifically want HTTP mode.

Note: Tool calls are serialized within one server process to protect the shared LinkedIn browser session. Concurrent client requests queue instead of running in parallel. Use LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG to see scraper lock logs.

Environment Variables

Example with custom timeouts:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-v", "~/.linkedin-mcp:/home/pwuser/.linkedin-mcp",
        "-e", "TIMEOUT=10000",
        "-e", "TOOL_TIMEOUT=300",
        "stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
