Verdict

Pick joinly if you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install.

Pick LinkedIn MCP Server if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Add joinly

Install / run

docker pull ghcr.io/joinly-ai/joinly:latest

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "joinly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:8000/mcp/"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Add LinkedIn MCP Server

Install / run

uvx mcp-server-linkedin@latest

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-linkedin@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT": "300"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.
