The best LinkedIn MCP servers
As far as we can find, LinkedIn does not publish an official MCP server. When your agent needs LinkedIn, a third-party MCP server connects it either to LinkedIn data (posts, profiles and company pages) or to a content tool that drafts and schedules posts for you. Some are hosted and handle sign-in for you. Others run on your machine and use your own LinkedIn session. Each charges in its own way and does a different job.
Here are the main options, what they cost, and which one fits your workflow.

stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server
stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server is a free, open-source server (Apache 2.0) that connects your agent to LinkedIn through your own logged-in browser session, with the browser running on your machine. You install it with uvx (it needs uv), Docker or a Claude Desktop bundle, then sign in through a login browser or import the session from a browser where you are already signed in.
Its tools read profiles and company pages, search people, companies, posts and jobs, read your feed and inbox, and, after confirmation, send messages and connection requests. It is an independent project, not affiliated with LinkedIn, and it acts as your own account.
Best for: Research and outreach through your own LinkedIn account when you are happy to run a local server.

Postiv says it does not scrape profiles or automate DMs and connection requests.
Postiv's pricing page lists MCP access on Creator Pro, from $49.50/mo billed yearly, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Plans and prices on the page vary, so check it for the current offer.

The tools cover drafts in your voice from ContentIn's ghostwriter, publishing and scheduling (each waits for your confirmation), post analytics, and the people engaging with your posts. Pro is $59/mo, or $48/mo billed annually, with a 7-day free trial.
Best for: Creators already on ContentIn Pro who want their ghostwriter and calendar in Claude or Cursor.
