Linkedin MCP Server
MCP server for interacting with Linkedin Community Management API.
This MCP server:
- Can be hosted locally or remotely : uses HTTP+SSE transport defined in MCP
- Implements the Draft Third-Party Authorization Flow from MCP specs to delegate authorization to LinkedIn’s OAuth authorization server
⚠️ Disclaimer: The Third-Party Authorization Flow proposal status is currently in draft. The only MCP client, to my knowledge, that currently implements this specification of the protocol is the MCP Inspector
