Post to LinkedIn directly from Claude Desktop with support for text and media attachments.
Linkedin mcp mcp server connects Linkedin MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Post to LinkedIn directly from Claude Desktop with support for text and media attachments.
Post to LinkedIn directly from Claude Desktop with support for text and media attachments.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:
authenticate — Authenticate with LinkedIncreate_post — Create and share posts optionally with media attachmentsThe server is distributed via PyPI as pipx, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 3 environment variables: LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID, LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET, LINKEDIN_REDIRECT_URI. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
File and storage servers are what separate an assistant that talks about your documents from one that actually works with them. Linkedin MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — authenticate, create_post — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other file systems servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| authenticate | Authenticate with LinkedIn |
| create_post | Create and share posts optionally with media attachments |
