LingTai Feishu/Lark MCP server — message API client with LICC inbox callback.

lingtai-feishu

LingTai Feishu/Lark MCP server — Open API client with multi-account support and LICC inbox callback.

This is the canonical setup, configuration, and troubleshooting doc for the lingtai-feishu MCP. It is fetched by LingTai agents (or anyone else) when they need to install or configure this server.

MCP / LICC contract spec: see the lingtai-anatomy skill, reference/mcp-protocol.md, for the canonical specification of the catalog → registry → activation chain, environment-variable injection, and the LICC v1 inbox callback protocol. The reference client implementation is src/lingtai_feishu/licc.py in this repo (vendored verbatim into all first-party LingTai MCP repos — copy it if you're writing your own).

Tools

One omnibus MCP tool: feishu(action=...). Actions: send, check, read, reply, search, contacts, add_contact, remove_contact, accounts. Compound message IDs: account_alias:chat_id:feishu_message_id.

Inbound messages (LICC)

Inbound Feishu events flow into the host agent's inbox via the LingTai Inbox Callback Contract. Each new message is delivered as a LICC event with:

• from — contact's display name (or open_id if no contact saved).
• subject — "feishu message from <name> via <account_alias>".
• body — a ~300 char preview of the message text.
• metadata.message_id — compound ID for reply.
• metadata.account — which configured app received it.
• metadata.chat_id, metadata.chat_type, metadata.from_open_id — routing keys.

Install

# Into the LingTai agent's venv (typically ~/.lingtai-tui/runtime/venv/)
pip install git+https://github.com/Lingtai-AI/lingtai-feishu.git

After install, python -m lingtai_feishu (or the lingtai-feishu script) starts the MCP server over stdio.

lark-oapi (Feishu's official Python SDK) is a hard dependency.

Configure

The server reads its app config from a JSON file pointed at by LINGTAI_FEISHU_CONFIG. Recommended path: .secrets/feishu.json inside the agent's working directory. Plaintext only — this MCP does not support *_env indirection.

Config schema

{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "alias": "myapp",
      "app_id": "cli_xxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "app_secret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "allowed_users": ["ou_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]
    }
  ]
}

• alias — human-friendly name; used as the account parameter in tool calls.
• app_id / app_secret — issued by Feishu Open Platform when you create a custom app.
• allowed_users — optional allow-list of user open_ids. When set, messages from other senders are silently ignored. Omit to accept any sender within your app's scope.

Activation in LingTai

{
  "addons": ["feishu"],
  "mcp": {
    "feishu": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/path/to/your/python",
      "args": ["-m", "lingtai_feishu"],
      "env": {
        "LINGTAI_FEISHU_CONFIG": ".secrets/feishu.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then run system(action="refresh") from the agent. The MCP subprocess starts, the per-account Feishu WebSocket clients connect, and the omnibus feishu tool becomes available.

Troubleshooting

• LINGTAI_FEISHU_CONFIG env var not set — your init.json mcp.feishu.env entry is missing the LINGTAI_FEISHU_CONFIG key.
• Feishu config not found — the path resolves but no file exists. Relative paths are resolved against LINGTAI_AGENT_DIR.
• coroutine 'Client._connect' was never awaited warning — usually means invalid app_id/app_secret. The lark SDK fails the WebSocket handshake; tool calls still work for actions that don't require live connection (like accounts, check of cached state).
• Server boots but no inbound messages — your app needs im:message and im:message:send_as_bot scopes in the Feishu Open Platform console. After enabling, re-publish the version.
• MCP server failed to start — usually the command path in init.json doesn't have lingtai_feishu installed. Confirm with <command> -m lingtai_feishu --help from a shell.
• Tool calls return Feishu manager not initialized — server boot failed (most often a malformed config). Check stderr.
