Veezee vs Bright Data's LinkedIn MCP
What Bright Data publishes#
Bright Data's LinkedIn coverage is five MCP tools: person profile, company profile, job listings, posts, and people search (github.com/brightdata/brightdata-mcp, assets/Tools.md). Each takes a LinkedIn URL and returns a structured JSON blob; people search takes a LinkedIn search URL rather than typed parameters.
All five require Pro mode (the pro=1 flag on Remote MCP, or PRO_MODE=true locally; docs.brightdata.com/ai/mcp-server/tools) and are excluded from the free 5,000-requests/month tier (brightdata.com/pricing/mcp-server). Pricing is pay-as-you-go at $1.50 per 1,000 results, dropping to $1.30/1,000 on a $499/month plan, $1.10/1,000 at $999/month, and $1.00/1,000 at $1,999/month (brightdata.com/pricing/mcp-server, as of 2026-07-11).
What Veezee offers#
Veezee's LinkedIn surface is six tools over MCP and REST: linkedin_resolve_url, linkedin_get_profile, linkedin_search_people, linkedin_get_company, linkedin_get_posts, get_usage. linkedin_get_profile returns named sections (about, experience, education, skills); the base fetch includes the first two.
linkedin_search_people takes typed filters, including current_company and past_company by plain name. linkedin_get_profile, linkedin_get_company, and linkedin_get_posts accept a URL, slug, or URN directly; linkedin_resolve_url is only needed for a dirty identifier.
A freshness parameter (recent or realtime) trades a small surcharge for a live fetch, refunded automatically on cached fallback.
| Bright Data LinkedIn MCP | Veezee | |
|---|---|---|
| Tools | 5 (person, company, jobs, posts, people-search) | 6 (incl. get_usage) |
| Person profile | one tool, full blob, no section control | linkedin_get_profile with named sections; first 2 included |
| People search | URL-in (agent builds a LinkedIn search URL) | typed filters (current_company, past_company by name) |
| Free access | 5,000 req/mo, but LinkedIn tools need Pro mode | agent mints its own free key: 200 credits/day (about 6,000 credits/month), no signup, no card, plus a one-time 10,000 credits grant on claim |
| Pricing | $1.50/1K results PAYG, down to $1.00/1K at $1,999/mo | per call: 4 credits profile, 10 credits search, 4 credits company, 4 credits posts |
| Auth | API token | free self-minted key (REST/CLI), or OAuth sign-in (MCP clients that support it) |
Beyond LinkedIn: Reddit and X#
Bright Data's MCP also ships Reddit posts and X posts tools, and its tweet schema is deep: views and bookmarks included (brightdata.com/products/datasets/twitter/tweets). The access shape differs.
Its Reddit comments product collects comments from post URLs over a days_back window, and X keyword discovery runs async (docs.brightdata.com/datasets/scrapers). Veezee's reddit_search searches comments by keyword in one synchronous call, x_search does the same for tweets, and both run under the free key's daily budget.
Bulk collection favors Bright Data; conversational lookup inside an agent loop favors Veezee.
Where each wins#
Bright Data wins on scale and track record: a long-established vendor with published volume pricing, and job listings, which Veezee does not serve. It is also cheaper per result: at its published pay-as-you-go rate, one profile result costs a fraction of a cent, several times less than a single Veezee linkedin_get_profile call.
Veezee wins when the caller is an agent that needs to start now: Bright Data requires an account and email verification before any call, while Veezee needs no signup at all, just a self-minted free key and a call under the daily budget, typed linkedin_search_people filters instead of hand-building a LinkedIn search URL, and section-level linkedin_get_profile targeting that avoids paying for a full blob when two sections are enough.
max_credits puts a hard spend ceiling on every call, so an unattended agent cannot overspend. Veezee is newer, and covers LinkedIn, Reddit, and X rather than a broad scraping catalog.
