How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security99
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 4 of 32 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency97
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to JohannsenLum/linkedin-api-mcp). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 66 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema quality not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we have no schema to assess.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we have no schema to compare.Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we have no tool definitions to assess.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we have no tool text to scan.Unverified
Capabilities0
- Protocol version not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we never saw its MCP handshake.Unverified
Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because our sandbox has not given us the schema these checks need to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until the capture succeeds. We are working through the fleet, so this normally clears without any action from you. How we score packages →

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
Tools for package channels are captured by running the package in an isolated sandbox. The most recent sandbox run could not capture a tool list from this package.

What is the LinkedIn MCP server?
LinkedIn is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.JohannsenLum/linkedin-api-mcp. Read LinkedIn profiles, companies, jobs and messages via your own browser session. This page covers its PyPI package (linkedin-api-mcp).
Is the LinkedIn MCP server safe to use?
LinkedIn scores 49 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 18 October 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
Is the LinkedIn MCP server still maintained?
LinkedIn is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 18 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the LinkedIn MCP server under?
LinkedIn declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
