+# LinkedIn MCP Quick Start
+
+## What Changed
+
+The LinkedIn MCP server is **Python-based**, not Node.js. The Dockerfile has been updated accordingly.
+
+## Quick Steps
+
+### 1. Create LinkedIn Profile (Do This FIRST)
+
+On your **Docker host machine** (TrueNAS):
+
+```bash
+# Install the package
+pip install linkedin-scraper-mcp
+
+# Create profile by logging in
+linkedin-mcp-server --login
+# Or: linkedin-scraper-mcp --login
+```
+
+This creates `~/.linkedin-mcp/profile/` with your authenticated session.
+
+### 2. Build the Docker Image
+
+From your gateway directory:
+
+```bash
+cd /mnt/NVME/Docker/mcp-gateway
+docker compose build linkedin-mcp
+```
+
+### 3. Start the Service
+
+```bash
+docker compose up linkedin-mcp
+```
+
+### 4. Verify It's Running
+
+```bash
+docker ps | grep mcp-linkedin
+docker logs mcp-linkedin
+```
+
+## Important Files
+
+- **Dockerfile** — Python 3.12 with LinkedIn MCP installed from GitHub
+- **SETUP.md** — Detailed setup guide
+- **.env** — Contains LINKEDIN_LOG_LEVEL and other config
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Already configured in your `.env`:
+
+```env
+LINKEDIN_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+LINKEDIN_TIMEOUT=10000
+LINKEDIN_CHROME_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
+```
+
+## Docker Compose Entry
+
+Already added to your `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+linkedin-mcp:
+  build:
+    context: ./linkedin-mcp
+    dockerfile: Dockerfile
+  container_name: mcp-linkedin
+  restart: unless-stopped
+  environment:
+    - LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+    - CHROME_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
+    - TIMEOUT=10000
+  volumes:
+    - ~/.linkedin-mcp/profile:/root/.linkedin-mcp/profile
+  networks: [mcpnet]
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails
+
+Ensure you have:
+- Git installed
+- Internet access
+- Python 3.12+ on Docker host
+
+### Profile Issues
+
+```bash
+# Remove old profile
+rm -rf ~/.linkedin-mcp/profile
+
+# Create new one
+linkedin-mcp-server --login
+
+# Restart Docker service
+docker compose restart linkedin-mcp
+```
+
+### Check Logs
+
+```bash
+docker logs mcp-linkedin -f
+```
+
+## Full Stack Start
+
+Now you can start everything with one command:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up
+```
+
+This will start:
+- Gateway proxy (port 4444)
+- ERPNext MCP
+- TrueNAS MCP
+- Home Assistant MCP
+- Wave Finance MCP
+- **LinkedIn MCP** ✨
+
+## Next: Dashboard
+
+Once all services are running, access the dashboard at:
+
+```
+http://localhost:4444/dashboard
+```
+
+Or on your remote instance:
+
+```
+https://mcp.wilddragon.net/dashboard
+```
