1

Install uv (Python Package Runner)

uv runs the LinkedIn MCP server without manual setup. Skip if uv --version works.

macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
2

Install LinkedIn MCP Server

Clone the MCP server repository to any directory on your system. Remember this path — you'll need it in Step 3.

GitHub Repository
https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server
macOS / Linux (example: Desktop)
cd ~/Desktop
git clone https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server.git
Windows (example: Desktop)
cd $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop
git clone https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server.git

Note your installation path (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\linkedin-mcp-server). You'll use it in the next step.

3

Connect MCP Server to Claude

Configure Claude to use your locally installed MCP server. Replace the path with where you cloned it in Step 2.

Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit Config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/Users/YourName/Desktop/linkedin-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "C:\\Users\\YourName\\Desktop\\linkedin-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "linkedin-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Important: Replace YourName with your actual username, and update the path if you installed elsewhere.

Claude Code: One Command
claude mcp add linkedin -- uv --directory ~/Desktop/linkedin-mcp-server run linkedin-mcp-server
claude mcp add linkedin -- uv --directory $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\linkedin-mcp-server run linkedin-mcp-server

Save config and restart Claude completely (quit and reopen). LinkedIn login will happen automatically when Claude first uses the MCP tools.

Import the Agent's Skills

Option A: Claude Desktop (Upload Zips)
  • Open Settings → Capabilities, enable "Code execution"
  • Under Skills, click Upload skill
  • Choose zips from skills-zips/ folder
  • Repeat for all 10 zips, ensure each is toggled on
Option B: Claude Code (macOS/Linux)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r plugin/linkedin-apply-assistant/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
Option B: Claude Code (Windows)
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force $HOME\.claude\skills
Copy-Item -Recurse plugin\linkedin-apply-assistant\skills\* $HOME\.claude\skills\

Test Your Setup

Restart Claude, verify LinkedIn tools appear, then try:

Search LinkedIn jobs for Laravel developer in Ahmedabad, posted in the last week

Then try: /analyze-resume, /find-jobs, /match-jobs, /prepare-application

The agent never auto-submits — it only prepares applications for review.

Lab: Build Your Own /find-jobs Skill

  • Create skills/find-jobs/SKILL.md
  • Steps: parse keywords, search, rank, show table
  • Rule: don't apply automatically
  • Test on a real search

Troubleshooting

uv or uvx not found

Close and reopen terminal after installing uv.

LinkedIn login popup not appearing

The login popup appears when Claude first uses the LinkedIn tools. Make sure you've configured the MCP server in Claude and restarted it.

Skill upload fails

Upload one at a time. Check SKILL.md exists and "Code execution" is on.

No LinkedIn tools in Claude

Check JSON config, save it, restart Claude fully.

Errors after it worked

Session expired. Claude will prompt for login again when you use LinkedIn tools.

Use Responsibly. The server drives a real browser session on your account. Use low volume, read-only searches. Never auto-submit. Never share ~/.linkedin-mcp/
