linkedin-mcp-server: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/2-repro-issue/SKILL.md

2-repro-issue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server. It costs 75 tokens per session (2,584 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for reproducing one LinkedIn-MCP issue locally. LinkedIn-MCP is a tool server that lets software access LinkedIn, and the procedure uses a real authenticated LinkedIn session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a numbered GitHub issue, repeat its failing LinkedIn action, compare expected and actual behaviour, and trace the failure to scraper code.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses about a reported bug with the exact tool output, error, or missing data that occurs on the current code branch.

This is stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on linkedin-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

About the project

linkedin-mcp-server is a local MCP server that gives compatible AI assistants access to LinkedIn through a logged-in browser session. Agents can use it to inspect profiles and companies, search jobs, retrieve job details, and manage certain LinkedIn interactions. The catalogue add-ons operate this server and expose its LinkedIn workflows to agents.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 147
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

2-repro-issue scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Reproduce a LinkedIn-MCP Issue Locally

Goal: take an issue number, run the exact failing tool call against the real LinkedIn via the local MCP server, and produce concrete evidence — output JSON, error message, partial state — that confirms or refutes the bug on the current branch. Always use the authenticated profile already at ~/.linkedin-mcp/profile/. Never mock.

Phase 1 — Read and map

# Accept "442", "#442", or "https://github.com/.../issues/442" — extract the digits only
NUM=$(echo "$ARGUMENTS" | sed -E 's|.*/||; s|#||g' | grep -oE '^[0-9]+' | head -1)
[ -z "$NUM" ] && { echo "Invalid input: '$ARGUMENTS'. Pass an issue number or URL." >&2; exit 1; }
REPO=stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server

gh issue view $NUM --repo $REPO --comments

From the issue body extract:

  • Which MCP tool is affected (get_person_profile, connect_with_person, search_jobs, …). The issue templates ask for this explicitly.
  • The exact arguments that trigger the failure (username, company slug, job ID, sections list).
  • The expected vs actual behaviour.
  • Any locale signal — German UI, non-English profile name, RTL language. Locale-sensitive bugs need a deliberately diverse target.

Map the tool to code so you know where to look if the repro confirms the bug:

  1. linkedin_mcp_server/tools/<surface>.py — MCP entrypoint and arg validation
  2. linkedin_mcp_server/scraping/<feature>.py — actual scraping (extractor.py, connection.py, feed.py, inbox.py, …)
  3. linkedin_mcp_server/scraping/fields.pyPERSON_SECTIONS / COMPANY_SECTIONS (each entry = one navigation)
  4. Existing test in tests/test_scraping.py covering the same surface

State out loud before running anything: "Reproducing tool X with args Y on branch <current> — expecting <failure mode from issue>."

Phase 2 — Confirm session, branch, dependencies

git status --porcelain | head -5         # workspace must be clean
git log -1 --oneline                     # record the SHA we're testing
ls ~/.linkedin-mcp/profile/ | head -3    # profile must exist

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.
