LinkedIn Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

LinkedIn Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

A powerful Model Context Protocol server for LinkedIn interactions that enables AI assistants to search for jobs, generate resumes and cover letters, and manage job applications programmatically.

Features

• Authentication: Secure OAuth 2.0 authentication with token refresh
• Profile Management: Access and update LinkedIn profile information
• Job Search: Advanced job search with filtering and pagination
• Resume & Cover Letters: Generate tailored resumes and cover letters
• Messaging: Send messages and connection requests
• Analytics: Track job applications and engagement metrics
• Async API: Built with asyncio for high performance
• Modular Design: Clean, maintainable code with separation of concerns

Architecture

This project implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification, allowing AI assistants to interact with LinkedIn through standardized JSON-RPC style requests and responses.
