Install LinkedIn MCP Server in oterm

What you need first

• oterm, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.

Steps

1. Open ~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file.
2. Add this table at the end of the file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/prakharagarwal-dev/linkedin-mcp-server:0.16.0", "serve", "--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file and restart oterm.

Check it worked

Ask oterm: List the tools of linkedin-mcp-server.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

Docker is not running. Start it, then restart oterm.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
