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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02068	$0.02068
Opus 5.5	$0.00827	$0.00827

Security

Grade A, and why

linkedin-agent-mcp AGENTS.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 1mo 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

Environment Setup:

Use uv for dependency management: uv sync (installs all dependencies)
Development dependencies: uv sync --group dev
Bump version: uv version --bump minor (or major, patch) - this is the only manual step for a release. The GitHub Actions release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml) automatically handles: manifest.json/docker-compose.yml version updates, git tag, Docker build & push, DXT extension, GitHub release, and PyPI publish. After the workflow completes, manually file a PR in the MCP registry to update the version.
Install browser: uv run patchright install chromium
Run server locally: uv run -m linkedin_mcp_server --no-headless
Run via uvx (PyPI): uvx linkedin-scraper-mcp
Run in Docker: docker run -it --rm -v ~/.linkedin-mcp:/home/pwuser/.linkedin-mcp iushv/linkedin-agent-mcp:latest

Code Quality:

Lint: uv run ruff check . (auto-fix with --fix)
Format: uv run ruff format .
Type check: uv run ty check (using ty, not mypy)
Tests: uv run pytest (with coverage: uv run pytest --cov)
Pre-commit hooks: uv run pre-commit install then uv run pre-commit run --all-files

Docker Commands:

Build: docker build -t linkedin-agent-mcp .
Login: Use uvx locally first: uvx linkedin-scraper-mcp --login

Architecture Overview

This is a LinkedIn MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server that enables AI assistants to interact with LinkedIn through web scraping. The codebase follows a two-phase startup pattern:

Authentication Phase (authentication.py) - Validates LinkedIn browser profile exists
Server Runtime Phase (server.py) - Runs FastMCP server with tool registration

Core Components:

cli_main.py - Entry point with CLI argument parsing and orchestration
server.py - FastMCP server setup and tool registration
tools/ - LinkedIn scraping tools (person, company, job profiles)
drivers/browser.py - Patchright browser management with persistent profile (singleton)
core/ - Inlined browser, auth, and utility code (replaces linkedin_scraper dependency)
scraping/ - innerText extraction engine with Flag-based section selection
config/ - Configuration management (schema, loaders)
authentication.py - LinkedIn profile-based authentication

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.
