Local Development with Inspector

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

Prerequisites

Clone the repository:

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

Install dependencies:

npm install

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.
