Manage LinkedIn messages, connections, posts, and profile data through Linked API.
How do I install Linked API?
It runs as a remote server.

For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Linked API need an API key?
Yes. It expects LINKED_API_TOKEN, IDENTIFICATION_TOKEN, linked-api-token, identification-token, which you set in its configuration.
Is Linked API open source?
Its code is public on GitHub, but the repository does not declare a standard license.
Who maintains Linked API?
It is published by Linked-API. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
