Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

linkedin-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Development Commands

This project uses Pixi for dependency management and task execution. Key commands:

# Install dependencies
pixi install

# Run MCP server
pixi run mcps --transport stdio           # For local development
pixi run mcps --transport streamable-http # For remote/HTTP access

# Development tasks
pixi run test      # Run tests (117 tests, pytest configured)
pixi run lint      # Check linting
pixi run format    # Apply formatting and fix lint issues
pixi run build     # Build package (creates sdist/wheel in dist/)

Alternative execution methods:

# Direct execution with uv
uv run --with "mcp[cli]" mcp run src/linkedin_mcp_server/main.py --transport streamable-http

# MCP inspection mode
DANGEROUSLY_OMIT_AUTH=true npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector pixi run mcps --transport stdio

Architecture Overview

This is a LinkedIn MCP Server with autonomous background scraping that exposes LinkedIn job data via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The system has four main architectural components:

1. MCP Server (main.py)

  • Built with FastMCP framework
  • Configurable transport modes: stdio, streamable-http
  • Exposes 11 tools for job querying, profile management, application tracking, and analytics
  • Cache-first serving: queries return instantly from SQLite database
  • Auto-detects transport mode from environment variables (TRANSPORT, HOST, PORT)

2. Database Layer (db.py)

  • SQLite with WAL mode for concurrent reads/writes
  • FTS5 full-text search on job descriptions and titles
  • 5 tables: jobs, scraping_profiles, applications, company_enrichment, job_changes
  • Default location: ~/.linkedin-mcp/jobs.db
  • Composable queries with multiple filters
  • Performance: <100ms for typical queries

3. Background Scraper Service (background_scraper.py)

  • Runs continuously in MCP server process (async tasks)
  • One worker per scraping profile (configurable via MCP tools)
  • Default profile: San Francisco, CA, 25mi, "AI Engineer or ML Engineer or Principal Research Engineer", 2h refresh
  • Semaphore(10) for job detail scraping, Semaphore(2) for company enrichment
  • Adaptive rate limiting with exponential backoff on 429/503 errors
  • Graceful startup/shutdown with asyncio task coordination

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
