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 \

    TDQS

    A3.8/5.0

    Scored across 12 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct action and resource: broadcast vs push, text vs flex, rich menu management (create, delete, set, cancel, list), and informational (get follower IDs, quota, profile). No two tools have overlapping purposes.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., broadcast_flex_message, create_rich_menu, get_profile). No mixing of conventions.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 12 tools, the server is well-scoped, covering essential LINE Bot operations without unnecessary bloat. The count falls comfortably within the ideal 3-15 range.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set covers core messaging (broadcast/push, text/flex), rich menu lifecycle (create, delete, list, default), and user/account info (followers, profile, quota). Minor gaps like replying to messages or sending media types are absent, but the server is sufficiently functional for its intended use.
