Prerequisites

Node.js (v18 or higher recommended)
Twitch Developer Account
Twitch API Client ID and Client Secret
Twitch GraphQL Client ID (for video comments feature)

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install @mtane0412/twitch-mcp-server

Configuration

Create a new application in the Twitch Developer Console
Set the following environment variables:

# macOS/Linux
export TWITCH_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:TWITCH_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
$env:TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"

Alternatively, you can create a .env file:

TWITCH_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

Usage

After installation, you can start using the server by running:

npx @mtane0412/twitch-mcp-server

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspect

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
