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.

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 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LinkedIn MCP

Use the bundled linkedin MCP server only when the user explicitly asks for LinkedIn data or an action on LinkedIn. Do not call LinkedIn tools for unrelated work, health checks, or background maintenance.

Operating rules

  • Start with the smallest read operation that can answer the request.
  • Treat profile, company, job, post, feed, and message results as live LinkedIn evidence. Distinguish retrieved facts from inference.
  • Keep searches and result pages modest. Do not bulk scrape or spam.
  • Never enable the plugin or its MCP server, edit Codex configuration, or start a login flow merely because LinkedIn might be useful. If either component is disabled, explain that state and stop.
  • send_message and connect_with_person are write actions. Use them only when the user explicitly authorizes the exact recipient and action. Confirm the final message or connection note unless the user has already supplied it.
  • Do not retry a failed write action unless the result proves it was not sent.

Browser and authentication

The server uses a managed Chromium browser and the user's own LinkedIn session. Installing or enabling the plugin does not sign in. The first LinkedIn data request may prepare the browser, import an existing local session, or require a visible login window. If LinkedIn presents a captcha, two-factor prompt, or other user-owned authentication step, stop and ask the user to complete it.

If browser setup or authentication is still in progress, report that exact state and retry once after it finishes. Do not loop, launch extra browser instances, clear profiles, or replace the user's browser session.

Tool selection

  • Profiles: get_my_profile, get_person_profile, search_people, and get_sidebar_profiles.
  • Companies: get_company_profile, get_company_posts, search_companies, and get_company_employees.
  • Jobs: search_jobs, get_saved_jobs, and get_job_details.
  • Content: get_feed and search_posts.
  • Messages: get_inbox, get_conversation, and search_conversations.
  • Writes: send_message and connect_with_person, subject to the explicit authorization rules above.
  • Cleanup: use close_session only when the user asks to end the managed browser session or when the current LinkedIn task is finished and no follow-up call is expected.

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.
