FAQ from Linkedin-Scrap-MCP-Server

What is the RAPIDAPI_KEY and how do I get it?

The RAPIDAPI_KEY is required to authenticate requests to the Fresh LinkedIn Profile Data API. You must sign up at RapidAPI, subscribe to that API, and then set the key as an environment variable.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Python 3.7+, the MCP framework, httpx, and python-dotenv are required. The server also uses uv for dependency management and execution.

What happens if the API call fails?

If the LinkedIn API request fails, the get_profile tool returns a clear error message explaining what went wrong. A missing RAPIDAPI_KEY will raise a ValueError.

What data does the `get_profile` tool return?

It returns structured JSON containing profile details like skills and other basic public settings. Additional extended fields are disabled by default.
