Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

An MCP server that provides LinkedIn & Reddit data

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Marketing & social media

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Common questions

Is MCP Ethical Hacking safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.4.0) reached the registry 14 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP Ethical Hacking

📚 Educational Purpose

This repository is intended for educational purposes to demonstrate the potential security risks in MCP implementations, and how to recognize and prevent security issues.

This repository contains "legitimate" tools for analyzing content from social media platforms using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It demonstrates both the capabilities and potential security implications of MCP tools.

These tools are provided for educational purposes only to demonstrate both the legitimate use cases and security considerations when developing and using MCP tools.

🛑 Disclaimer

This code is provided for educational purposes only. The authors do not endorse using these techniques for any malicious purposes. Always obtain proper authorization before analyzing content from any platform and respect their terms of service.

🔍 The "legitimate" use-cases

MCP Toolkit: Social Media Content Analysis

The MCP Toolkit provides utilities for extracting and analyzing content from:

  • Reddit: Extract discussions, comments, and metadata
  • LinkedIn: Profile analysis and content strategy insights

📋 Components

The toolkit includes:

  • Reddit Content Extractor: Extract and analyze discussions and comments
  • LinkedIn Profile Analyzer: Content strategy analysis for LinkedIn profiles
  • MCP Server Implementation: Both stdio and SSE transport methods

⚙️ Installation

See Reddit Readme :: Using embedded code in a remote image See Linkedin Readme :: Using WebAssembly module embedded in a local image

⚠️ Security Considerations

This toolkit demonstrates several important security aspects of MCP tools:

  1. Code Execution && Obfuscation Techniques: The repository shows how MCP tools can execute code in unexpected ways, including:
  • Embedded code in images (steganography)
  • WebAssembly module execution
  • Remote data processing
  1. Data Access: Tools can access and process data beyond what might be expected:
  • Network requests to third-party services
  • File system access

🔒 Best Practices

When developing or using MCP tools:

  1. Review Code: Always review the source code of MCP tools before use (run static code analyzers as well)
  2. Sandbox Execution: Run MCP tools in isolated environments
  3. Limit Permissions: Use principle of least privilege
  4. Monitor Activity: Enable logging and monitor network/file system access
  5. Authenticate Sources: Only use tools from trusted sources
