Unable to setup with claude

[swadib]

I'm struggling to connect Claude CLI with this MCP.

I ran docker using this:

docker run --rm -i
-e LINKEDIN_COOKIE="li_at=YOUR_COOKIE_VALUE"
stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server:latest

(using my cookie ofcourse)

then installed the DXT
which asked me to set up the li_at in the UI
then I setup the claude config file
then I quit and reopened claude

It's not able to do anything because it says it can't be authenticated:

"Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same authentication error. The LinkedIn tool requires a valid session cookie to access profile information, and it appears the authentication isn't working currently.
Here are your options:

Check the LinkedIn MCP Server settings - You may need to re-authenticate or update the session cookie in the tool configuration
Share your profile manually - You could copy sections of your LinkedIn profile and paste them here
Share what you need - Let me know what you're trying to accomplish (resume building, profile optimization, job search, etc.) and I can help guide you"

I'm an absolute novice so I'm probably missing something, can you help me?

@stickerdaniel can you support in this regard?

Hey, did you set the cookie? Don't access the website from the browser you got the cookie from at the same time, this might kick out the scraper's session

Oh, I always access it from the same browser, maybe that's the issue, let me try. I did set the cookie, but I set it on Claude's configuration file as well as in the UI when it's prompted.
