Python LINE MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server implementation in Python that provides access to LINE Bot messages. This server enables Language Models to read and analyze LINE conversations through a standardized interface.

Features

Core Functionality

• Asynchronous operation using Python's asyncio

• Environment-based configuration using python-dotenv

• Comprehensive logging system

• LINE Bot webhook event handling

• Message storage in JSON format

• FastAPI integration for API endpoints

• Pydantic models for data validation

• Support for text, sticker, and image messages

Related MCP server: line-render-mcp

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+

• Required Python packages:

  • fastapi

  • pydantic

  • python-dotenv

  • mcp-server

  • line-bot-sdk

  • uvicorn

Installation

git clone https://github.com/amornpan/py-mcp-line.git

SERVER_PORT=8000
MESSAGES_FILE=data/messages.json

API Implementation Details

Resource Listing

@app.list_resources()
async def list_resources() -> list[Resource]

• Lists available message types from the LINE Bot

• Returns resources with URIs in the format line://<message_type>/data

• Includes resource descriptions and MIME types

Resource Reading

@app.read_resource()
async def read_resource(uri: AnyUrl) -> str

• Reads messages of the specified type

• Accepts URIs in the format line://<message_type>/data

• Returns messages in JSON format

• Supports filtering by date, user, or content

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "line": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET": "your_channel_secret",

        "SERVER_PORT": "8000",
        "MESSAGES_FILE": "data/messages.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Error Handling

The server implements comprehensive error handling for:

• Webhook validation failures

• Message storage errors

• Resource access errors

• URI validation

• LINE API response errors

All errors are logged and returned with appropriate error messages.

Security Features

• Environment variable based configuration

• LINE message signature validation

• Proper error handling

• Input validation through Pydantic
