I want to use led with following connection and i remember that I've seen this application somewhere on the Internet:

3V3 - LED - RESISTOR - STM32 PIN

I've seen the max total current output of MCU then is there any max total input current of MCU?

    LoL - that is the standard way to use an LED with any microcontroller!

    Yes, these figures will be in the Datasheet for the chip - the Electrical Specifications section.

    does "injected current" mean input current?

    I don't think so - context needed.

    You are looking for the GPIO pin current sink capacity.

    What chip are you using?
