### Description (declared)

# linkedin-ads-mcp

MCP server for the LinkedIn Marketing API, with built-in MCC-style client switching across every
ad account your LinkedIn login can access.

## Installation

Once published to PyPI:

```bash
uv tool install linkedin-ads-mcp-py
```

This installs the `linkedin-ads-mcp` and `linkedin-ads-auth` commands. Or run it directly without
installing:

```bash
uvx --from linkedin-ads-mcp-py linkedin-ads-mcp
```

Point your MCP client (e.g. `.mcp.json` or Claude Desktop's config) at the `linkedin-ads-mcp`
command.

## Setup

1. Create an app at [LinkedIn Developers](https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps) with access to
   the **Advertising API** product (requires LinkedIn's approval — see their docs, no published
   SLA).
2. Add `http://localhost:3000/callback` (or your own `LINKEDIN_REDIRECT_URI`) to the app's
   authorized redirect URLs.
3. Set the following environment variables (e.g. in a `.env` file in your working directory, or
   directly in your MCP client's server config):

   ```bash
   LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
   LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
   # Optional overrides:
   # LINKEDIN_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/callback
   # LINKEDIN_TOKEN_PATH=/path/to/tokens.json
   ```

4. Authenticate (opens a browser for the LinkedIn OAuth consent screen):

   ```bash
   uvx --from linkedin-ads-mcp-py linkedin-ads-auth
   ```

   Tokens are saved to `~/.linkedin-ads-mcp/tokens.json` by default and refreshed automatically
   when a refresh token is available.

5. Run the server:

   ```bash
   uvx --from linkedin-ads-mcp-py linkedin-ads-mcp
   ```

### Headless / remote deployments

Hosts that can't open a browser or receive the local OAuth callback (e.g. MCP Anywhere) can't run
`linkedin-ads-auth` themselves. Instead, run it once locally as above, then read the `refresh_token`
value out of the saved token file (`~/.linkedin-ads-mcp/tokens.json` by default) and set it as
`LINKEDIN_REFRESH_TOKEN` alongside `LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID`/`LINKE…
