In simple English
This tool lets an AI assistant read and write on LinkedIn using your own account. You can ask your AI to research a company, find open jobs, or draft messages to contacts. It runs locally on your computer and connects to programs like Claude Desktop. You need a normal LinkedIn account and a supported AI application to make it work. The project is free and open-source, but LinkedIn may flag automated browsing if you use it too heavily.
What it is
An MCP (Model Context Protocol, a standard way for AI assistants to talk to external tools and data sources) server that automates a headless web browser (a web browser running on a server without a graphical user interface) to interact with LinkedIn.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want to automate candidate sourcing, job hunting, or customer research on LinkedIn without paying for expensive enterprise software.
- Integrates directly with popular AI desktop apps and code editors.
- Reuses your existing browser session so you do not have to set up API keys.
- Supports reading profiles, sending messages, and searching for jobs.
- Risk of getting your LinkedIn account temporarily restricted for automated activity.
- Setup requires configuring JSON files for your AI client.
- Relies on browser automation, which can break when LinkedIn changes its website design.
