LinkedIn Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

*License: MIT*

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 LinkedIn authentication with session management
  • Profile Management: Access and update LinkedIn profile information
  • Job Search: Search for jobs with flexible filtering options
  • Resume Generation: Create customized resumes from LinkedIn profiles
  • Cover Letter Generation: Generate tailored cover letters for specific job applications
  • Job Applications: Submit and track job applications

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.

Components:

  • MCP Handler: Routes requests to appropriate service handlers
  • API Modules: Specialized modules for LinkedIn interactions (auth, job search, profile, etc.)
  • Core Protocol: Defines request/response structures and data models
  • Utilities: Configuration management and helper functions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
