v4.29.0

Highlights

• Stable error codes. Failed calls name a code in _meta that clients can branch on. (#1390 by @benjamin-di)
• Usage rules at connect. Clients get the usage rules as MCP server instructions. (#1402 by @mvanhorn)
• Crashed pages recover. A crashed page is replaced instead of failing every later call. (#1382 by @benjamin-di)

Features

• A failed tool call now says when LinkedIn answered HTTP 429 or 999 during it. (#1264 by @shbernal)
• MCPB bundle settings can point the server at your own Chrome or Chromium executable. (#1303 by @kumiDa)
• search_jobs reports why paging stopped, so a caller knows whether more results may exist. (#1323 by @shbernal)
• dismiss_job dismisses a job from job search so later searches no longer show it. (#1326 by @shbernal)
• New get_easy_apply_form tool reads an Easy Apply form's questions without answering. (#1343 by @shbernal)
• New archive_conversation tool archives a messaging thread by its id, InMail included. (#1354 by @shbernal)
• get_person_profile and get_my_profile can now read a profile's volunteering section. (#1357 by @JaiPi)
• search_posts can filter by content type, such as uploaded documents. (#1377 by @sunnycho100)
• Failed tool calls name a stable error code in _meta, beside the unchanged message. (#1390 by @benjamin-di)
• Add get_session_status, which reports the saved session without opening a browser. (#1392 by @benjamin-di)
• The server now sends its usage rules to MCP clients as server instructions. (#1402 by @mvanhorn)
• get_feed pairs a post's permalink with its text excerpt and URN when its markup has one. (#1409 by @letya999)
• Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac) in the Docker login viewer pastes plain text. (#1414)

Bug Fixes (5)

• search_people refuses a plain-text location and filters by a numeric geo URN id instead. (#722 by @BasitS-hash)
• search_jobs reports no_matching_jobs when LinkedIn's redesigned search matches nothing. (#1363 by @shbernal)
• A crashed browser page is now shut down and replaced instead of failing every later call. (#1382 by @benjamin-di)
• Raise fastmcp to 4.1.3, fixing the M2M OAuth advisory GHSA-vqqp-x5qm-5qp4. (#1408 by @letya999)
• Sidebar "Show all" links off LinkedIn are skipped, and diagnostics hide proxy credentials. (#1417)
