Everything runs locally. There is no hosted backend, telemetry, database, external queue, LangGraph runtime, or credential service. Browser cookies live only in the local Playwright profile. The first client starts one shared local runtime; later clients attach to it, and fair scheduling gives each client a turn between complete tool calls. Operation state lasts only for that runtime. Read the full architecture and privacy policy.

🔒 Privacy Policy

The server has no maintainer-operated backend, analytics, advertising, or telemetry. LinkedIn receives normal visible-UI requests, and the invoking MCP client receives tool results under its own data policy; the project sends nothing to the maintainer. Read the complete privacy policy for processing, storage, sharing, retention, and deletion details.

🛡️ Safety

Use of this software is at your own risk. You are solely responsible for complying with LinkedIn's User Agreement, applicable laws, and third-party rights. LinkedIn may limit or restrict accounts that use prohibited automation. The maintainers do not authorize spam, unauthorized data collection, privacy violations, or circumvention of access controls.

• Use only accounts and activity you are authorized to operate.
• The server pauses on authentication expiry, checkpoints, restriction pages, permission failures, and configuration errors.
• It does not implement CAPTCHA bypass, proxy rotation, fingerprint spoofing, credential harvesting, stealth plugins, or private LinkedIn endpoints.
• Never commit or share the persistent browser profile or local assets.

See SECURITY.md and the security design.
