Environment / auth

LINKEDIN_COOKIE
secret
Your LinkedIn li_at session cookie. Optional if you have already stored it in the OS keyring with `linkedin-api-mcp auth`, which is the recommended route: this cookie is equivalent to being logged in as you.
LINKEDIN_HEADLESS
Run the browser headless. Defaults to true; set to 0 to watch what it does.
LINKEDIN_MIN_INTERVAL
Minimum seconds between LinkedIn actions. Defaults to 2.
LINKEDIN_MAX_PER_HOUR
Hard ceiling on LinkedIn actions per rolling hour. Defaults to 120. The server refuses past this rather than sleeping, so an agent in a loop is told to stop.
