This MCP server lets you interact with LinkedIn’s Community Management API from your own environment. It supports hosting locally or remotely over HTTP+SSE and handles authorization delegation through the Draft Third-Party Authorization Flow, enabling you to fetch user info and create posts on LinkedIn.

How to use

You connect a client to this server to access LinkedIn features. Use the HTTP endpoint to stream events and the local runtime to run the server directly on your machine. Available actions include retrieving the currently logged-in user’s profile information and creating new LinkedIn posts.

How to install

pnpm install
```

```bash
cp .env.template .env && vi .env
```

```bash
pnpm run dev

Additional notes
