             MCP ZERO - public-first LinkedIn intelligence

LinkedIn MCP Zero

32 MCP tools for jobs, resumes, matching, alerts, exports, and optional read-only browser intelligence.

No Docker required · Public-first · Low-RAM friendly · FastMCP · PyPI published

PyPI Python License MCP

The Promise

LinkedIn MCP Zero gives AI agents useful LinkedIn intelligence while staying honest about risk:

Principle

What it means

Public-first

Job search/details use public LinkedIn guest endpoints. No account required.

Read-only

No automated posting, applying, connecting, or messaging.

Local by default

Resume parsing, alerts, matching, exports, and state live on your machine.

Lazy browser

Chrome/CDP tools load only when called, then auto-unload after idle time.

Low-spec friendly

The server detects RAM/disk and recommends full, balanced, or lean.

Easy install

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom MCP clients work with one command.

Related MCP server: LinkedIn-Posts-Hunter-MCP-Server

Install In 10 Seconds

Check your system:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero --doctor

Run as an MCP server:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero

Use the latest GitHub source instead of PyPI:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/SanthaKumar-K-2004/linkedin-mcp-zero mcp-server-linkedin-zero --doctor

One-Line Agent Setup

Claude Code:

claude mcp add linkedin-zero -- uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero

Claude Desktop:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero --install-client claude-desktop

Cursor, run inside the project where you want .cursor/mcp.json:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero --install-client cursor

Custom MCP clients:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero

Streamable HTTP:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero --transport streamable-http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

GitHub-source agent setup:

claude mcp add linkedin-zero -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/SanthaKumar-K-2004/linkedin-mcp-zero mcp-server-linkedin-zero

Safe Auto Config

The installer does not overwrite your whole MCP config. It:

  • Finds the right config path for Claude Desktop or Cursor.

  • Creates missing folders.

  • Reads existing JSON.

  • Preserves every other MCP server.

  • Adds or updates only linkedin-zero.

  • Creates a timestamped .bak backup before saving.

  • Writes JSON atomically.

Manual config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-zero": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-linkedin-zero"]
    }
  }
}

Print the config without editing files:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero --print-config

uv run linkedin-mcp-zero

Browser Tools

Start Chrome with CDP:

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

Then call:

check_session
get_my_profile
search_people
get_feed
get_inbox

Opt-in Patchright fallback:

LINKEDIN_MCP_ENABLE_PATCHRIGHT_FALLBACK=true uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero

Low-Spec Mode

No Docker. No always-on browser. No heavy services.

If RAM or disk is low, the server still works:

  • Public job tools keep running.

  • Resume tools stay local.

  • Alerts use SQLite.

  • Browser tools wait until called.

  • Browser auto-unloads after idle time.

  • Optional extras are skipped unless installed.

Quality is not reduced; only engine loading is smarter.

Development And Release

Build:

uv build

Publish a new version:

uv publish

Run from PyPI:

uvx mcp-server-linkedin-zero

Run from GitHub source:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/SanthaKumar-K-2004/linkedin-mcp-zero mcp-server-linkedin-zero

Safety

This project intentionally avoids automated write actions. It does not apply to jobs, send messages, create posts, connect with people, or modify your LinkedIn account. Browser tools are read-only and require your own Chrome session.

Voyager is gated off by default because it is riskier than public APIs or real browser reading.
