- Supports App Access Token authentication
- Supports User Access Token authentication
Flexible Communication Protocols:
- Supports standard input/output stream (stdio) mode, suitable for integration with AI tools like Trae/Cursor/Claude
- Supports StreamableHTTP/SSE mode, providing HTTP-based interfaces
Supports multiple configuration methods, adapting to different usage scenarios

Tool List

A complete list of all supported Feishu/Lark tools can be found in tools.md, where tools are categorized by project and version with descriptions.

Preparation

Creating a Feishu/Lark Application

Before using the lark-mcp tool, you need to create a Feishu/Lark application:

Visit the Feishu Open Platform or Lark Open Platform and log in
Click "Console" and create a new application
Obtain the App ID and App Secret, which will be used for API authentication
Add the necessary permissions for your application based on your usage scenario
If you need to call APIs as a user, set the OAuth 2.0 redirect URL to http://localhost:3000/callback

For detailed application creation and configuration guidelines, please refer to the Feishu Open Platform Documentation - Creating an Application.

Installing Node.js

Before using the lark-mcp tool, you need to install the Node.js environment.

Using the Official Installer (Recommended):

Visit the Node.js website
Download and install the LTS version
After installation, verify in the terminal:

node -v
npm -v

Usage Guide

Using with Trae/Cursor/Claude

To integrate Feishu/Lark functionality in AI tools like Trae, Cursor or Claude, install using the button below.

or add the following to your configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lark-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@larksuiteoapi/lark-mcp",
        "mcp",
        "-a",
        "<your_app_id>",
        "-s",
        "<your_app_secret>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

If you need to access APIs with user identity, you need to login first using the login command in the terminal. Note that you need to configure the application's redirect URL in the developer console first, default is http://localhost:3000/callback

# Login and get user access token
npx -y @larksuiteoapi/lark-mcp login -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy
   
# Or optionally, login with specific OAuth scope - if not specified, all permissions will be authorized by default
npx -y @larksuiteoapi/lark-mcp login -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy --scope offline_access docx:document

Then add the following to your configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lark-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@larksuiteoapi/lark-mcp",
        "mcp",
        "-a",
        "<your_app_id>",
        "-s",
        "<your_app_secret>",
        "--oauth"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can also directly add a user access token (expires in 2 hours) via -u:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lark-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@larksuiteoapi/lark-mcp",
        "mcp",
        "-a",
        "<your_app_id>",
        "-s",
        "<your_app_secret>",
        "-u",
        "<your_user_token>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Custom API Configuration

By default, the MCP service enables common APIs. To enable other tools or only specific APIs or presets, you can specify them using the -t parameter (separated by commas):

lark-mcp mcp -a <your_app_id> -s <your_app_secret> -t im.v1.message.create,im.v1.message.list,im.v1.chat.create,preset.calendar.default

⚠️ Notice：Non-preset APIs have not undergone compatibility testing, and the AI may not perform optimally during the process of understanding and using them.

Parameter Usage Examples

Basic Usage:

# Start with default settings and auto request user login when token expires (recommended for local scenarios)
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy --oauth

# Start with default settings
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy

Using User Identity:

If you need to access APIs with user identity, you need to first use the login command to log in. For details, refer to "Using OAuth Login to Get User Access Token":
```
# Login and get user access token
lark-mcp login -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy
```
You can also manually pass user_access_token using -u:
```
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy -u u-zzzz
```
Note: User access tokens can be obtained through the Feishu Open Platform's authorization process, or you can use the API debugging console to obtain them. After using a user access token, API calls will be made with that user's identity.
Using OAuth Login to Get User Access Token:
```
# Login and get user access token
lark-mcp login -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy

# Specify OAuth scope
lark-mcp login -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy --scope offline_access

# Specify domain for OAuth authentication
lark-mcp login -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy -d https://open.larksuite.com
```
Note: Using the login command will start a local OAuth server and open a browser to complete authorization. The user access token will be automatically obtained and stored securely locally for automatic use in subsequent startups.
Logout and Clear Stored Token:
```
# Clear locally stored user access token
lark-mcp logout
```
Note: The logout command will clear the locally stored user access token. If there is no stored token currently, a corresponding message will be displayed.
Setting Specific Token Mode:
```
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy --token-mode user_access_token
```
Note: This option allows you to explicitly specify which token type to use when calling APIs. The auto mode (default) will be determined by the LLM when calling the API.

Specifying Lark or KA Domains:

# Lark international version
lark-mcp mcp -a <your_app_id> -s <your_app_secret> -d https://open.larksuite.com

# Custom domain (KA domain)
lark-mcp mcp -a <your_app_id> -s <your_app_secret> -d https://open.your-ka-domain.com

Enabling Only Specific API Tools or Other API Tools:
```
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy -t im.v1.chat.create,im.v1.message.create
```
Note: The -t parameter supports the following preset tool collections:
- preset.light - Lightweight tool set with fewer but commonly used tools, suitable for scenarios that require reduced token usage
- preset.default - Default tool set containing all preset tools
- preset.im.default - Instant messaging related tools, such as group management, message sending, etc.
- preset.base.default - Base related tools, such as table creation, record management, etc.
- preset.base.batch - Base batch operation tools, including batch create and update record functions
- preset.doc.default - Document related tools, such as document content reading, permission management, etc.
- preset.task.default - Task management related tools, such as task creation, member management, etc.
- preset.calendar.default - Calendar event management tools, such as creating calendar events, querying free/busy status, etc.
Setting Tools Language to Chinese:
```
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy -l zh
```
Note: Setting the language to Chinese (-l zh) may consume more tokens. If you encounter token limit issues when integrating with large language models, consider using the default English setting (-l en).
Setting Tool Name Format to Camel Case:
```
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy -c camel
```
Note: By setting the tool name format, you can change how tool names appear in the MCP. For example, im.v1.message.create in different formats:
- snake format (default): im_v1_message_create
- camel format: imV1MessageCreate
- kebab format: im-v1-message-create
- dot format: im.v1.message.create
Using Environment Variables Instead of Command Line Parameters:

# Set environment variables
export APP_ID=cli_xxxx
export APP_SECRET=yyyyy
export USER_ACCESS_TOKEN=zzzzz
export LARK_TOOLS=a.b.c,a.c.d
export LARK_DOMAIN=https://open.feishu.cn
export LARK_TOKEN_MODE=user_access_token

# Start the service (no need to specify -a and -s parameters)
lark-mcp mcp

Using Configuration File:

Besides command line parameters, you can also use a JSON format configuration file to set parameters:

lark-mcp mcp --config ./config.json

Configuration file example (config.json):

{
  "appId": "cli_xxxx",
  "appSecret": "xxxx",
  "domain": "https://open.feishu.cn",
  "tools": ["im.v1.message.create","im.v1.chat.create"],
  "toolNameCase": "snake",
  "language": "zh",
  "userAccessToken": "",
  "tokenMode": "auto",
  "mode": "stdio",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": "3000",
  "oauth": true,
  "scope": "offline_access docx:document"
}

Note: Command line parameters have higher priority than configuration file. When using both command line parameters and configuration file, command line parameters will override corresponding settings in the configuration file.

Transport Modes:

lark-mcp supports three transport modes:
1. stdio mode (Default/Recommended): Suitable for integration with AI tools like Trae/Cursor or Claude, communicating through standard input/output streams.
```
lark-mcp mcp -a <your_app_id> -s <your_app_secret> -m stdio
```
1. SSE mode (Deprecated): Provides an HTTP interface based on Server-Sent Events, suitable for scenarios where local execution is not possible.
```
# Default listens only on localhost
lark-mcp mcp -a <your_app_id> -s <your_app_secret> -m sse -p 3000

# Listen on all network interfaces (allowing remote access)
lark-mcp mcp -a <your_app_id> -s <your_app_secret> -m sse --host 0.0.0.0 -p 3000
```
After startup, the SSE endpoint will be accessible at http://<host>:<port>/sse.
1. streamable mode: Provides StreamableHTTP-based interface
```
# Start streamable mode
lark-mcp mcp -a <your_app_id> -s <your_app_secret> -m streamable --host 0.0.0.0 -p 3000
```

FAQ

Issue: Unable to connect to Feishu/Lark API

Solution: Check your network connection and ensure your APP_ID and APP_SECRET are correct. Verify that you can access the Feishu/Lark Open Platform API; you may need to configure a proxy.
Issue: Error when using user_access_token

Solution: Check if the token has expired. user_access_token usually has a validity period of 2 hours and needs to be refreshed periodically. You can implement an automatic token refresh mechanism.
Issue: Unable to call certain APIs after starting the MCP service, with insufficient permissions errors

Solution: Check if your application has obtained the corresponding API permissions. Some APIs require additional high-level permissions, which can be configured in the Developer Console. Ensure that permissions have been approved.
Issue: Image or file upload/download related API calls fail

Solution: The current version does not support file and image upload/download functionality. These APIs will be supported in future versions.
Issue: Command line displays garbled characters in Windows environment

Solution: Change the command line encoding to UTF-8 by executing chcp 65001 in the command prompt. If using PowerShell, you may need to change the terminal font or PowerShell configuration.
Issue: Permission errors during installation

Solution: On macOS/Linux, use sudo npm install -g @larksuiteoapi/lark-mcp for installation, or modify the permissions of the npm global installation path. Windows users can try running the command prompt as administrator.
Issue: Token limit exceeded after starting the MCP service

Solution: Try using -t to reduce the number of enabled APIs, or use a model that supports larger tokens.
Issue: Unable to connect or receive messages in SSE/Stream mode

Solution: Check if the port is already in use and try changing to a different port. Ensure that the client is correctly connected to the SSE endpoint and is handling the event stream.
Issue: Linux environment startup error [StorageManager] Failed to initialize: xxx

Solution: This does not affect scenarios where user_access_token is manually passed or not used. StorageManager uses keytar for encrypted storage of user_access_token. Please ensure libsecret is installed in the Linux environment:
- Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev
- Red Hat-based: sudo yum install libsecret-devel
- Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S libsecret
