Add the LINE MCP server to Claude Code

Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

The exact config to run LINE in Claude Code — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code installed.
  • CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN — Channel access token for your LINE Official Account. Required.

Setup

1. Open ~/.claude.json

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.claude.json

~/.claude.json
json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "line": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@line/line-bot-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
        "DESTINATION_USER_ID": "<DESTINATION_USER_ID>"
      }
    }
  }
}
Or via CLI
bash
claude mcp add line -- npx -y @line/line-bot-mcp-server

3. Restart Claude Code and confirm the LINE tools load.

Gotchas

Claude Code stores MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.claude.json. It also reads a project-scoped .mcp.json and supports adding servers from the command line with "claude mcp add". Each entry must declare either a "type" or a "command"; Claude Code refuses an entry that has neither. Remote servers connect natively over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.
