Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "linkedin-mcp-server-2",
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server-2": {
      "command": {
        "path": "TODO",
        "args": [
          "See README: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

claude mcp add linkedin-mcp-server-2 -- TODO 'See README: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server'

Einzeiler. Prüfen mit claude mcp list. Entfernen mit claude mcp remove.

Sicherheit

Rechte, Secrets, Reichweite

Credential-Speicherung: Uses your LinkedIn browser session. Authentication happens via Chromium browser login.

Datenabfluss: All traffic goes through Chromium to linkedin.com

Uses browser automation to access LinkedIn — ensure your usage complies with LinkedIn's Terms of Service.
Your LinkedIn account is used for all actions — connection requests and messages are sent as you.
Excessive automated activity may trigger LinkedIn account restrictions.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Login prompt keeps appearing

Complete the LinkedIn login in the Chromium browser. For Docker, authenticate via uvx first.

Prüfen: Check that you can manually access linkedin.com in the automated browser

Profile returns empty data

The profile may be outside your network. LinkedIn restricts data visibility based on connection degree.

Prüfen: Try viewing the profile manually in a browser

Rate limited by LinkedIn

Reduce request frequency. LinkedIn may temporarily restrict access after too many automated requests.

Prüfen: Wait 30 minutes and try a single request

Alternativen

linkedin-mcp-server vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
fetch MCP	You only need to read public LinkedIn data visible without login	Very limited data — most LinkedIn content requires authentication
