Usage Guide

Using with Trae/Cursor/Claude

To integrate Feishu/Lark functionality in AI tools like Trae，Cursor or Claude, 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>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

To access APIs with user identity, you can add a user access token:

{
  "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

Parameter Usage Examples

Basic Usage (using application identity):
```
lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy
```
Using User Identity:
```
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 Lark 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.
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.default - Default tool set containing all preset tools
- preset.im.default - Instant messaging related tools, such as group management, message sending, etc.
- preset.bitable.default - Bitable related tools, such as table creation, record management, etc.
- preset.bitable.batch - Bitable 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.

Using SSE Mode with Specific Port and Host:

lark-mcp mcp -a cli_xxxx -s yyyyy -m sse --host 0.0.0.0 -p 3000

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

# 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"
}
```
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 two 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: 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.

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 or Lark 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 (such as claude3.7).
Issue: Unable to connect or receive messages in SSE 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.
