Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

Name	Description
`LINKEDIN_COOKIE` Optional, secret	Your LinkedIn li_at session cookie. Optional if you have already stored it in the OS keyring with `linkedin-api-mcp auth`, which is the recommended route: this cookie is equivalent to being logged in as you.
`LINKEDIN_HEADLESS` Optional	Run the browser headless. Defaults to true; set to 0 to watch what it does.
`LINKEDIN_MIN_INTERVAL` Optional	Minimum seconds between LinkedIn actions. Defaults to 2.
`LINKEDIN_MAX_PER_HOUR` Optional	Hard ceiling on LinkedIn actions per rolling hour. Defaults to 120. The server refuses past this rather than sleeping, so an agent in a loop is told to stop.
