Is LinkedIn Browser safe to use?

Yes, LinkedIn Browser is designed with security in mind. It features encrypted cookie storage, rate limiting to avoid detection, and secure credential management to protect your LinkedIn account.

What are the prerequisites for using LinkedIn Browser?

You'll need Python 3.8+, Playwright, the FastMCP library, and a LinkedIn account to use LinkedIn Browser.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
