## Description

This MCP server provides comprehensive access to LinkedIn automation and data extraction through the Linked API service. Built with TypeScript and the Model Context Protocol SDK, it offers 25+ tools covering standard LinkedIn operations (messaging, connections, posts, searches) and Sales Navigator functionality, with built-in support for background workflow processing that keeps clients responsive during long-running operations. The implementation handles authentication via API tokens, includes progress tracking for multi-minute LinkedIn workflows, and provides both HTTP and stdio transport options with Docker deployment support. Designed for sales professionals, recruiters, and developers building LinkedIn automation workflows, it enables use cases like lead generation, relationship management, content engagement, and data extraction without directly interfacing with LinkedIn's complex automation requirements.
