Environment variables
Defined in the server's official registry manifest. Required secrets are shown as <YOUR_…> placeholders in the configs above.
LINKEDIN_COOKIEsecret — Your LinkedIn li_at session cookie. Optional if you have already stored it in the OS keyring with `linkedin-api-mcp auth`, which is the recommended route: this cookie is equivalent to being logged in as you.LINKEDIN_HEADLESS— Run the browser headless. Defaults to true; set to 0 to watch what it does.LINKEDIN_MIN_INTERVAL— Minimum seconds between LinkedIn actions. Defaults to 2.LINKEDIN_MAX_PER_HOUR— Hard ceiling on LinkedIn actions per rolling hour. Defaults to 120. The server refuses past this rather than sleeping, so an agent in a loop is told to stop.
