LinkedIn Via Humanized Playwright MCP

Use this skill when the user asks for LinkedIn navigation or LinkedIn task flows through agents.

Mandatory Mode

• For LinkedIn tasks, always use Playwright CLI via playwright-cli-humanized.
• Do not use MCP browser tools (browser_navigate, browser_click, browser_run_code) for LinkedIn.
• If Playwright MCP is configured, ignore it for LinkedIn requests.

Preconditions

1. User has Chrome/Edge with Playwright MCP Bridge extension installed.
2. User is already logged into LinkedIn in that browser profile.
3. MCP server is configured with playwright-mcp-humanized --extension.

Setup

Generate setup commands:

npx -y playwright-mcp-humanized-agent setup codex
npx -y playwright-mcp-humanized-agent setup claude
npx -y playwright-mcp-humanized-agent setup gemini

For LinkedIn, run Playwright CLI mode from the local repository:

PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN \
node ./packages/playwright-mcp/cli-playwright-humanized.js \
  open https://www.linkedin.com --extension --headed --browser=chrome

If the token is not explicitly provided, extract it from ~/.codex/config.toml:

PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN="$(
  python3 - <<'PY'
import re
from pathlib import Path
text = Path.home().joinpath('.codex/config.toml').read_text()
match = re.search(r'(?m)^\\s*PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN\\s*=\\s*\"([^\"]+)\"\\s*$', text)
print(match.group(1) if match else '', end='')
PY
)" node ./packages/playwright-mcp/cli-playwright-humanized.js \
  open https://www.linkedin.com --extension --headed --browser=chrome

Execution Pattern

1. Start with read-only navigation tasks (open profile, collect visible fields, summarize page).
2. Ask for explicit confirmation before high-impact actions (posting, messaging, invites, submissions).
3. Keep interactions paced and limited to user-scoped intent.

Troubleshooting

• If redirected to login, reconnect through extension and verify the active tab/profile.
• If actions fail intermittently, retry with simpler steps and explicit waits.
• If the site challenges the session, reduce action rate and keep manual supervision.
