Overview

How it was set up

Claude Code with the Chrome MCP connector, logged into LinkedIn in the separate browser profile Claude controls. Exa and Firecrawl are used for wider research and scraping.

Worth knowing

Prompt injection is a risk while browsing. The authors advise a separate browser profile and no logins to banking or email.

A prompt to start from

Use your Chrome MCP to research each of these conference attendees on LinkedIn in parallel: [list of names]. For each person, summarise role, company, background, and conversation hooks. Compile one briefing document for me to review.
