MCP quickstart

From LinkedIn saves to Claude context in four steps.

PostMind runs locally: the Chrome extension exports your saved posts as JSON, and the MCP server reads that local file so Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client can search it.

1

Export your saved posts

Install the Chrome extension, open LinkedIn saved posts, collect visible saves, then download the JSON export.

https://www.linkedin.com/my-items/saved-posts/
2

Put the JSON somewhere stable

Move the downloaded file out of Downloads so your MCP client can read the same path every time.

mkdir -p ~/.postmind
mv ~/Downloads/postmind-saved-posts.json ~/.postmind/saved-posts.json
3

Run the local MCP server

Download the MCP server package, install dependencies, build it, and point POSTMIND_DATA at your export.

unzip postmind-mcp-server.zip
cd postmind-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
POSTMIND_DATA=~/.postmind/saved-posts.json node dist/index.js
4

Connect Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to your Claude Desktop MCP config, replacing both paths with absolute paths on your computer.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postmind": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/postmind-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "POSTMIND_DATA": "/absolute/path/to/saved-posts.json"
      }
    }
  }
}
