Authenticate with LinkedIn using OAuth PKCE flow.

Opens your browser to LinkedIn's authorization page, captures the callback, exchanges the authorization code for an access token, and saves it to the config file for future use.

This is the recommended way to authenticate. Once complete, all other tools can use the saved token automatically.

Prerequisites:

• LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID environment variable set

• LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET environment variable set

• A LinkedIn Developer App with "Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect" and "Share on LinkedIn" products configured

Args:

• port (number, 1024-65535): Localhost port for the OAuth callback (default: 8080)

• open_browser (boolean): Auto-open browser (default: true). Set false for headless.

• timeout (number, 30000-600000): Max wait for callback in ms (default: 120000)

Returns: Confirmation message with token expiry and granted scopes.

Get the authenticated user's LinkedIn profile information.

Returns your full profile details including name, headline, vanity URL, profile picture, email, and locale. Combines both the OpenID Connect userinfo endpoint and the LinkedIn profile API.

Args:

• response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): Output format (default: 'markdown')

Returns (JSON format): { "id": string, // LinkedIn member ID "firstName": string, // First name "lastName": string, // Last name "fullName": string, // Full display name "headline": string, // Professional headline "vanityName": string, // Custom URL identifier "profileUrl": string, // Full LinkedIn URL "email": string, // Email address (if available) "pictureUrl": string, // Profile picture URL "locale": string // Locale setting }

Requires scope: openid + r_liteprofile (or r_basicprofile)

Get basic user identity information via OpenID Connect.

This works with the minimal "openid" scope and returns:

• sub (unique member ID for your app)

• locale

Unlike getMyProfile, this always works even with minimal scopes.
