[!IMPORTANT] FAQ

Is this safe to use? Will I get banned? This tool controls a real browser session; it doesn't exploit undocumented APIs or bypass authentication. That said, LinkedIn's TOS prohibit automated tools. With normal usage (not bulk scraping!) you're not risking a ban. So far, no users have been banned for using this MCP. If you encounter any issues, let me know in the Discussions.

What if my agents execute too many actions? LinkedIn may send you a warning about automated tool usage. If that happens, reduce your automation volume. This MCP executes tool calls sequentially via a queue but has no built-in rate limits. Prompt your agents responsibly.

🚀 uvx Setup (Recommended - Universal)

Prerequisites: Install uv.

Installation

Client Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["linkedin-scraper-mcp@latest"],
      "env": { "UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT": "300" }
    }
  }
}

The @latest tag ensures you always run the newest version — uvx checks PyPI on each client launch and updates automatically. The server starts quickly, prepares the shared Patchright Chromium browser cache in the background under ~/.linkedin-mcp/patchright-browsers, and opens a LinkedIn login browser window on the first tool call that needs authentication.

[!NOTE] Early tool calls may return a setup/authentication-in-progress error until browser setup or login finishes. If you prefer to create a session explicitly, run uvx linkedin-scraper-mcp@latest --login.
