LINE Bot MCP Server + Claude Desktop FAQ

Is LINE Bot MCP Server safe to use with Claude Desktop?

Is this an official LINE project?

Yes. It is published by the LINE organization on GitHub and distributed as the @line/line-bot-mcp-server npm package. It is currently provided as a preview version.

What credentials do I need?

A LINE Channel Access Token (CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN) is required. A DESTINATION_USER_ID is optional but required when a tool's input does not include a userId.
