linkedin-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

linkedin-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from gacabartosz/linkedin-mcp-server. It costs 1,776 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for developing a LinkedIn MCP server, a service that lets AI agents work with LinkedIn features. They cover building the server, its API modules, scheduling, content tools, media generation, and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing LinkedIn tools, API connections, scheduled posts, content templates, banners, case-study PDFs, or media features. They also guide building, running, and checking the server.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project structure and rules needed to change the server without overlooking related components. They also specify how to confirm that its tools are available after a build.

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-server 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 9d 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.

Build & Run

npm run build          # TypeScript compile + shebang injection
npm run dev            # Dev mode with tsx
npm start              # Run compiled dist/index.js

Verify tools after changes:

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | node dist/index.js

Architecture

  • src/index.ts — MCP server entry point, all 31 tool handlers (single switch statement)
  • src/api/ — LinkedIn REST API modules (client, auth, posts, comments, media, profile, reactions)
  • src/scheduler/ — SQLite-based post scheduler (store, daemon, publisher)
  • src/content/ — Content templates (12 built-in + custom), brand voice config, and guidelines loader
  • src/gemini/ — Google Gemini Imagen 4 image generation
  • src/banner/ — Banner generator (6 templates, 8 gradients, carousel PDF, screenshot capture)
  • src/casestudy/ — Case study PDF generator (branded PDFs with screenshots, metrics, Gemini covers)
  • src/utils/ — Config, logger, errors (toolResult/toolError helpers)
  • guidelines/ — LinkedIn algorithm strategy data (linkedin-strategy.json)
  • scripts/generate-banner.mjs — Standalone banner generator CLI
  • auto-engage.mjs — Intelligent auto-reply daemon (Gemini via MCP, socjotechnika, persona from second-mind)
  • auto-publish.mjs — Auto-publish daemon (60s interval, comment queue, banner generation)

Code Conventions

  • ESM only"type": "module" in package.json, use .js extensions in imports
  • Strict TypeScriptstrict: true, target ES2022, NodeNext module resolution
  • Zod for input validation — schemas defined at top of index.ts, parsed with .parse(args) in handlers
  • Tool responses — always return toolResult(data) for success, toolError(message) for errors
  • Logging — use log("info"|"warn"|"error", message, data?) from src/utils/logger.ts
  • NEVER write to stdout — all logging goes to stderr (stdout is reserved for MCP stdio transport)
  • Native fetch() — no axios, no node-fetch; use Node 18+ built-in fetch
  • Minimal dependencies@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, better-sqlite3, zod, @anthropic-ai/sdk, pdf-lib

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.
