Browser Tools: +11

Enable with --with-extra browser or --enable-browser. These are read-only, but they use your logged-in browser session.

#	Tool	Feature
31	`get_my_profile`	Read your profile
32	`get_person_profile`	Read a public/person profile page
33	`search_people`	People search through browser
34	`get_my_connections`	Read your connection list

Gated Private-Risk Tool: +1

#	Tool	Feature
42	`get_profile_voyager`	Voyager/private API placeholder, disabled by default

Default mode exposes 30 usable tools: 29 core local/public tools plus search_jobs_multi, which falls back to LinkedIn-only results unless the multi extra is installed. Browser tools appear only with --enable-browser or --with-extra browser in an installed client config. Voyager/private API mode is hidden unless explicitly enabled.

Tool counts:

Mode	Exposed Tools	Notes
Default	30	Safe local/public tools; no LinkedIn login required
Browser enabled	41	Adds 11 read-only browser tools; needs Chrome/CDP login
Browser + Voyager	42	Adds gated private-API placeholder

Safety Model

Mode	Label	Account Risk
Local resume/alerts/exports	`local_zero_account_risk`	None
Public no-login job data	`public_no_login_read_only`	No LinkedIn login required
Browser tools	`browser_readonly_account_risk`	Opt-in account risk
Voyager/private API	`disabled_private_api_risk`	Disabled by default

No tool posts, likes, connects, follows, applies, or sends messages.

Browser Mode

Install browser dependencies into the isolated uvx runtime:

uvx linkedin-mcp-zero --install-client claude-desktop --with-extra browser

Start Chrome with remote debugging and log in manually:

google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222

Then call check_session from your MCP client.

Global Playwright installs do not count for uvx; use --with-extra browser.

Token Usage Tracking

Claude Desktop has no built-in per-MCP token counter. This server provides a privacy-safe tracker instead:

Estimated tokens: ceil(response_chars / 4), always on.
Exact-style counts: optional Anthropic /v1/messages/count_tokens.
Full tool responses are not stored in the metrics database.
Exact-style counting sends the counted response text to Anthropic only when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and LINKEDIN_MCP_EXACT_TOKEN_COUNT=true are both set.

Enable exact-style counting:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... LINKEDIN_MCP_EXACT_TOKEN_COUNT=true uvx linkedin-mcp-zero

Use a different token-count model if needed:

LINKEDIN_MCP_TOKEN_COUNT_MODEL=claude-sonnet-4-5

Usage tools:

get_usage_stats
get_tool_usage_summary
reset_usage_stats

Avoid terminal transcript logging as a token strategy; it can expose private profile, inbox, resume, or job data.

Client Config

Print without editing files:

uvx linkedin-mcp-zero --print-config --client claude-desktop
uvx linkedin-mcp-zero --print-config --client vscode

Claude Desktop and Cursor use:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-zero": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/uvx",
      "args": ["linkedin-mcp-zero"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses:

{
  "servers": {
    "linkedin-zero": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/uvx",
      "args": ["linkedin-mcp-zero"]
    }
  }
}

Doctor

uvx linkedin-mcp-zero --doctor
uvx linkedin-mcp-zero --doctor --json

Checks OS, Python, RAM, disk, Chrome, CDP URL, display state, optional extras, and recommended mode.

Development

uv sync --extra dev
uv run --extra dev ruff check .
uv run --extra dev pytest
uv build

Publish only the new version files:

UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN=... uv publish dist/linkedin_mcp_zero-0.3.2*
