| Hello,
Is there a way to know even roughly, like a percentage, how many of a MOC's
parts I already own before buying the instruction ?

I'd recommend using the rebrickable website or BrickStore (free and open
source).
Then make the inventory of what you have and then you'll get answers.

| Ha ha, I come from rebrickable. Actually I exported my sets from rebrickable
to bricklink.
But what now ?
Concrete exemple. I think this MOC (https://www.bricklink.com/v3/moc-pop-up-store/15/City-Library)
is awesome. But before buying the instructions, I want to know how much missing
piece I got.
Or is the only way to know this information is to buy the instruction to be able
to export the MOC inventory to rebrickable and then get the info there ?

Pretty much, yeah 
And then, you aren’t even sure you’ll get a parts list: maybe the author will
provide one, maybe they will answer favorably if you ask for one, maybe they
won’t.
Or you go through the carts the MOC-PS made line by line, with your inventory
on another screen/window.

Read again: it’s about a set on the MOC Pop-up Store.
There’s no parts list!
And lorilan isn’t even sure they will (easily) get one if they proceed and buy
the MOC!

It's good for everything, it will help you find your loved one, protect you
from cancer and cure ingrown toenails!
Apart this, erm, maybe not in this case, but as a general tool to have

Since it is a MOC from the Pop-Up store the parts list is on Bricklink, only
not as a file, you have to do some work 
Just start the purchase, when selecting stores, choose as less as possible and
let the carts get created.
Don't checkout
Now with Brickstore (https://www.brickstore.dev/) import the created carts.
Copy paste all carts into a new list, let the items be merged.
Now you have 1 list with 355 lots with 2021 items.
I'm not sure how to use Rebrickable now, perhaps uploading it there and do
a compare on what you have?
As far as I know Bricklink has no option to check your collection against a wanted
list.

instructions
