Local Development with Inspector

You can use the MCP Inspector to test and debug the server locally.

Prerequisites

  1. Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:line/line-bot-mcp-server.git
cd line-bot-mcp-server
  1. Install dependencies:

npm install
  1. Build the project:

npm run build

Run the Inspector

After building the project, you can start the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js \
  -e CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -e DESTINATION_USER_ID="YOUR_DESTINATION_USER_ID"

This will start the MCP Inspector interface where you can interact with the LINE Bot MCP Server tools and test their functionality.

    A3.5/5.0

    Scored across 12 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Tools are mostly distinct by action and resource (push vs broadcast, text vs flex, rich menu CRUD). However, push_text_message and broadcast_text_message differ only by audience, and the same for flex messages, which could cause confusion if descriptions aren't read carefully.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_, push_, broadcast_, create_, delete_, set_, cancel_). Minor inconsistency: get_follower_ids uses 'follower' while other tools use 'user' or 'rich_menu', and set_rich_menu_default/cancel_rich_menu_default are slightly verbose but still clear.

    Tool Count4/5

    12 tools is a reasonable size for a LINE bot server covering messaging, rich menus, and user data. The count is slightly high but each tool serves a distinct function within the domain.

    Completeness3/5

    The server covers core messaging (push/broadcast), rich menu management (create, delete, default), and user info (profile, follower IDs, quota). Missing obvious operations like updating a rich menu, sending image/video/sticker messages, or replying to webhook events, which are common LINE bot workflows.
