  ]}

## Auth

The Arcade LinkedIn MCP Sever uses the [LinkedIn auth provider](/references/auth-providers/linkedin) to connect to users' LinkedIn accounts.

With the Arcade Cloud Platform, there's nothing to configure. Your users will see `Arcade` as the name of the application that's requesting permission.

With a self-hosted installation of Arcade, you need to [configure the LinkedIn auth provider](/references/auth-providers/linkedin#configuring-linkedin-auth) with your own LinkedIn app credentials.
