About

LINE ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 17 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

LINE is the dominant chat platform in Japan (and widely used across Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia), and the Messaging API is how a business account — a LINE Official Account — sends and receives chat messages, images, stickers and rich menus through it.

This app covers the core of that surface: replying to an inbound event with its one-time reply token, pushing or multicast/broadcasting a message outside that window, reading a bot’s own identity and a user’s profile, retrieving media a user sent, and managing rich menus (the tappable menu bar under a LINE Official Account’s chat). Message content itself — text, image, sticker, template, flex — is accepted as LINE’s own JSON message-object array rather than being re-modelled per type, since the vendor’s schema already covers dozens of message shapes and re-deriving each as a separate typed action would multiply this app’s surface without adding anything the vendor’s own object model doesn’t already say.

Authentication is a single long-lived channel access token, issued once from the LINE Developers Console and used as a Bearer token on every call — LINE’s more elaborate JWT-assertion token-issuance flow is left to the console rather than reimplemented here.

Build with LINE

Three routes to the same 17 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from LINE's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Get Bot Info

bot-info-get

Get basic information about the connected LINE Official Account (bot).

Get Content

content-get

Download media (image, video, audio or file) a user sent, base64-encoded. Only works while LINE still hosts it, and only for content whose webhook event reported `contentProvider.type` as "line".

Broadcast Message

message-broadcast

Send a message to every friend of this LINE Official Account. Up to 5 messages.

Multicast Message

message-multicast

Send the same message to up to 500 user IDs. Cannot target group or room chats.

Push Message

message-push

Send a message to a user, group chat or multi-person chat. Up to 5 messages.

Get Message Quota Consumption

message-quota-consumption-get

Get the (approximate) number of messages sent so far this month.

Get Message Quota

message-quota-get

Get this month's configured message-sending limit, if one is set.

Reply Message

message-reply

Reply to a webhook event using its one-time reply token. Up to 5 messages.

Get Profile

profile-get

Get a user's display name, picture and status message.

Create Rich Menu

rich-menu-create

Define a rich menu object. Upload an image and set it default/linked to show it.

Delete Rich Menu

rich-menu-delete

Delete a rich menu.

Get Rich Menu

rich-menu-get

Get a rich menu's definition by ID.

Upload Rich Menu Image

rich-menu-image-upload

Attach an image (JPEG or PNG, 800-2500px wide, aspect ratio >= 1.45, max 1MB) to a rich menu. Can only be done once per rich menu.

Link Rich Menu to User

rich-menu-link-to-user

Show this rich menu to one user, replacing any rich menu already linked to them.

List Rich Menus

rich-menu-list

List rich menus created through the Messaging API (not via Official Account Manager).

Set Default Rich Menu

rich-menu-set-default

Show this rich menu to every user with no per-user rich menu of their own linked. Replaces any previous default.

Unlink Rich Menu from User

rich-menu-unlink-from-user

Remove the per-user rich menu linked to a user, falling back to the app-wide default.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying LINE's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",
  "name": "line-example",
  "steps": [
    {
      "id": "content-get",
      "uses": {
        "app": "io.w6w.line",
        "action": "content-get",
        "connection": "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID"
      },
      "with": {
        "messageId": "<messageId>"
      }
    }

+12 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for LINE, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to LINE. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "content-get",
  payload: {
    messageId: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action content-get --payload '{"messageId":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent LINE — without giving it LINE's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.line#content-get",
    "input": {
      "messageId": "<messageId>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's LINE connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

LINE's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. LINE itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

LINE declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

LINE Messaging API status

Component status from api.line-status.info, scoped to the "Messaging API" group only (its API and Webhook components) — the page also covers LINE Login, LIFF and the Developers Console/Site, which this app does not use.

quota

Message quota headroom

This month's configured message-sending limit (if any) against messages sent so far, from GET /v2/bot/message/quota and GET /v2/bot/message/quota/consumption.
