# 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:
