# LinkedIn MCP — profiles, companies, jobs via own-account session

Queries LinkedIn directly using your own authenticated session cookie. Profile retrieval, company employee counts, and job postings.

## Install

```
pip install linkedin-mcp-server
```

## Configuration

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "linkedin-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "LINKEDIN_SESSION_COOKIE": "YOUR_LI_AT_COOKIE_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Extract your `li_at` session cookie from browser DevTools after logging into LinkedIn.

## What it adds

Claude queries LinkedIn mid-investigation — profile retrieval including employment history and education, company org-chart enumeration via employee lists, job postings for identifying key personnel. Critical for corporate due diligence and for building subject profiles without manual browsing.

**Important:** Automation against your own LinkedIn account carries account-suspension risk. For engagements with legal teeth, use sanctioned data brokers (LexisNexis, IRB Search) instead of this MCP. Use for preliminary profiling only.
