In this tutorial, we will learn to exploit the power of Ex-MCP-Server Alongside Claude Desktop to access any LinkedIn page by program. The EX-MCP-Server provides a light and high performance implementation of the model's context protocol, allowing Claude Desktop to publish HTTP requests and return HTML Gross or structured data on demand. Throughout this guide, we will install and configure Ex-MCP-Server, connect it to your Local Claude Office Instance and develop precise protocol messages necessary to recover and display LinkedIn profiles, all without writing a single range of code manual web cramps. At the end, we will have a reusable workflow that operates an agent focused on LLM to recover and treat the LinkedIn content transparently.

Step 1: Download the Claude Desktop

It will be something like that shared below.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exa": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": (
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "exa",
        "--key",
        "Your Key",
        "--config",
        "\"{\\\"exaApiKey\\\":\\\"Your exa API Key\\\"}\""
      )
    }
  }
}

Step 7: Finally, close the Claude office and reopen it. Check by looking for a LinkedIn page. Here we searched for our own LinkedIn page for MarkTechpost.com.

In conclusion, we have configured Ex-MCP-Server, it linked it to Claude Desktop and successfully published models of model context protocol to recover the LinkedIn pages on demand. This approach rationalizes access to protected web content or dynamically rendered while laying the basics of automation powered by LLM on any site that is based on authenticated or JavaScript pages. From here, you can extend your configuration for web_search_exa, research_paper_search, twitter_search, company_research, ramp and competitor_finder.
