Installation

npm install mcp-linkedin-ads

Configuration

Security: Never share your .mcp.json file or commit it to git -- it may contain API credentials. Add .mcp.json to your .gitignore.

Get OAuth credentials:
- Go to LinkedIn Developer Portal
- Create a new app with "Sign In with LinkedIn" + "Marketing Developer Platform"
- Scopes: r_ads, rw_ads, w_member_social, r_organization_social, w_organization_social
Create config.json:
```
cp config.example.json config.json
```

Fill in your credentials:

{
  "oauth": {
    "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
  },
  "clients": {
    "default": {
      "account_id": "YOUR_AD_ACCOUNT_ID",
      "name": "My Account"
    }
  }
}

Set environment variables (recommended for production):

export LINKEDIN_ADS_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export LINKEDIN_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
export LINKEDIN_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token"

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Default	Purpose
`LINKEDIN_ADS_CLIENT_ID`	yes	--	OAuth client ID
`LINKEDIN_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET`	yes	--	OAuth client secret
`LINKEDIN_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN`	yes	--	OAuth access token
`LINKEDIN_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN`	optional	--	OAuth refresh token (rotated automatically when set)
`LINKEDIN_ADS_MCP_WRITE`	optional	`false`	Set to `true` to expose mutating tools. Read-only by default.

Read-only by default

The LinkedIn Ads MCP currently ships with read-only tools only. The write-mode gate is already in place so that any future create/update/pause/enable/remove tool is hidden from ListTools and refused at call time unless LINKEDIN_ADS_MCP_WRITE=true is set in the MCP server environment. This mirrors the Google Ads MCP gate and matches the pattern being rolled out to Bing / Reddit / Meta. Motivation: prevent a casual LLM request from mutating production ad accounts without the operator explicitly opting in.
