Management Endpoints

The AnySite Management API enables you to interact with your own LinkedIn account programmatically. These endpoints allow you to manage posts, connections, conversations, and access your profile data securely.

Account Security First: We never use user accounts for data collection. Our management endpoints are designed with robust anti-blocking protection to safeguard your LinkedIn account.

Have an active LinkedIn account

Step-by-Step Instructions

Install Cookie Editor Extension
- Go to the Chrome Web Store and install the Cookie Editor extension
Log in to LinkedIn
- Open LinkedIn.com in your browser and sign in to your LinkedIn account
Export Your LinkedIn Cookies
- Click on the Cookie Editor extension icon in your browser
- In the Cookie Editor panel, click the “Export” button
- Select “JSON” format from the export options
Add the LinkedIn Account in the Dashboard
- Navigate to the Accounts section
- Click “Add Account” button
- Paste the JSON cookies you exported from LinkedIn into the text field
- Click “Save” to add your account

Important Notes

Do not click the ‘Logout’ button on LinkedIn after exporting cookies
Simply close your browser instead
Your Account ID will appear in the accounts table after successful addition

Verification

Check that your account appears in the accounts list
Your account is now ready to use for LinkedIn management operations

Integration Options

MCP Server Integration

Option 1: NPM Package (Recommended)

Use the AnySite MCP server via NPM for AI-powered LinkedIn automation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anysite": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anysite/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANYSITE_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "ANYSITE_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-linkedin-account-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: SSE Transport (Claude Desktop/Code)

For Claude Desktop and Claude Code, use the SSE transport method:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport sse anysite "https://mcp.anysite.io/mcp" \
  --header "access-token: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --header "account-id: YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"

# Claude Desktop
# Add the OAuth URL in MCP settings: https://mcp.anysite.io/mcp
# Then provide your API key and Account ID in the configuration dialog

See the MCP Server documentation for detailed setup instructions.
