How to Use the LinkedIn MCP in Cursor

Q: How does Cursor protect my LinkedIn organization admin data?

Your admin organization list retrieved via listorganizations is never stored on Cursor servers. All data transactions flow directly through your local editor session using secure OAuth tokens managed by Vinkius.

Generate code that interacts with your LinkedIn feed and organizations directly inside Cursor using this MCP Server.

Generate live LinkedIn feed integrations in Cursor

The `list_posts` tool pulls your latest feed updates directly into your Cursor editor. This lets the Cursor agent analyze real post performance data instead of relying on outdated static mock files. You can use this live LinkedIn post data to write, test, and refine custom analytics scripts on the fly in Cursor. The editor reads the actual JSON output, making your code highly accurate from the first run.

Manage LinkedIn company pages programmatically inside Cursor

The `list_organizations` tool retrieves the company pages you manage directly inside your active Cursor workspace. The AI agent uses this list to write custom functions that target the correct business entities. By pairing this with `get_organization`, you can build internal dashboards that display your LinkedIn company details in Cursor. You don't have to leave your code editor to check API payloads.

Test LinkedIn post creation workflows directly from Cursor

The `create_post` tool allows your Cursor agent to publish test updates to your feed while you write your distribution code. This shortens your feedback loop because you see the live API results immediately in your terminal output. You can also run `get_me` to verify that your active LinkedIn developer token points to the correct profile in Cursor. That prevents you from accidentally running MCP Server tests on the wrong production account.

Setup guide

Set up LinkedIn MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the LinkedIn MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent LinkedIn transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the LinkedIn tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
