Use Veezee from Gemini CLI
Veezee is 17 tools across LinkedIn, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter): profile and company lookups, people search, discussion search, recency sweeps, and a free usage meter, all on one connection. Start free, no signup, no card: hosts that support MCP sign-in connect with zero keys, and everything else self-mints a free key in one call. Either way you run under a shared free per-IP daily budget of 200 credits a day.
Setup#
gemini extensions install https://github.com/veezeehq/veezee-gemini
This installs the LinkedIn-only extension (profile, company, people search, posts). Then give it a key, its one setting: mint one free (curl -s -X POST https://api.veezee.io/v1/keys/mint, no signup, no card, shown once) and set it with gemini extensions config veezee. The free key runs under the shared free daily budget; buying credits at /upgrade credits the same key.
Want Reddit and X too? Point Gemini CLI at the full endpoint directly, the same mcpServers setting the extension itself uses:
{
"mcpServers": {
"veezee": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.veezee.io/all" }
}
}
Add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <the minted key>" } to the entry: raw connections need the key (without a credential the server answers 401 with machine-readable instructions for getting one).
What to try first#
- "Look up the LinkedIn profile for williamhgates and summarize their current role."
- "Search Reddit for what people are saying about a topic you care about, and summarize the sentiment."
- "Search X for the most recent posts about a topic you care about."
The last two need the all-platform MCP config above; the LinkedIn extension alone only covers the first.
Confirm it works#
Ask your agent: "Fetch the LinkedIn profile for williamhgates and tell me the credit cost from the response envelope." A working connection returns the profile plus a credit cost in one round trip.
