Python LINE MCP Server

Overview

The LINE MCP server bridges the gap between conversational AI assistants and the LINE messaging platform. By exposing a Model Context Protocol interface, it allows language models to read, analyze, and even act upon LINE bot conversations without needing custom integrations for each AI system. This capability is especially valuable for developers who want to incorporate real‑time chat logs, user sentiment, or workflow automation into AI‑driven applications.

At its core, the server runs asynchronously on FastAPI and listens for LINE webhook events. Incoming messages—text, stickers, images, or other supported types—are validated against LINE’s signature mechanism and then persisted in a JSON file. The MCP layer exposes two primary operations: listing available message types (e.g., text, image) and reading the stored messages via a simple URI scheme (). These resources are richly described with MIME types and can be filtered by date, sender, or content, giving AI models fine‑grained control over the data they consume.

For developers, this translates into a plug‑and‑play component that can be added to any AI workflow. A Claude or GPT model, for instance, can query the MCP server to retrieve recent conversations, analyze user intent, or trigger downstream actions such as updating a CRM record. Because the server adheres to MCP 1.2.0, it can be paired with other MCP servers (e.g., file storage, database) in a single pipeline, creating a unified context for the model.

Key features include robust asynchronous handling, environment‑driven configuration (via files), comprehensive logging, and support for all major LINE message formats. The server’s error handling covers webhook validation failures, storage issues, and URI parsing errors, ensuring that the AI assistant receives clear diagnostics when something goes wrong. Security is reinforced through environment variable usage, signature checks, and controlled access to the stored JSON.

Real‑world use cases abound: customer support bots that need historical chat context, marketing teams analyzing campaign responses in LINE groups, or internal tools that sync LINE discussions with project management platforms. By abstracting the intricacies of the LINE API behind MCP, developers can focus on building intelligent features rather than wrestling with platform specifics.
