How to Set Up and Use Lark Tools MCP
lark-tools-mcp bridges Feishu/Lark — the Chinese workplace collaboration platform — with AI coding assistants like Cursor and Claude. It authenticates as a Feishu custom app using your app credentials and currently exposes a tool to retrieve full document content as plain text, with the roadmap including messaging, task management, and data analysis operations. Teams that store specifications, contracts, or reference material in Feishu can use this server to let AI agents read those documents directly without manual copy-paste.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later and yarn (npm install -g yarn)
- A Feishu (Lark) account and a self-built custom app with document read permissions
- FEISHU_APP_ID and FEISHU_APP_SECRET from your Feishu Open Platform app
- An MCP client such as Cursor (Agent mode) or Claude Desktop
Create a Feishu custom app
In the Feishu Open Platform (open.feishu.cn), create a self-built application. Navigate to Permissions & Scopes and grant the document read permission (docs:doc:readonly or equivalent). Note the App ID and App Secret.
Clone the repository
Download the server source.
git clone https://github.com/VienLi/lark-tools-mcp.git && cd lark-tools-mcpConfigure environment variables
Copy the example env file and fill in your Feishu app credentials.
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set:
# FEISHU_APP_ID=cli_your_app_id
# FEISHU_APP_SECRET=your_app_secretInstall dependencies and start the server
Install packages with yarn and start the MCP server.
yarn install && yarn startAdd the server to your MCP client
Configure Cursor or Claude Desktop to connect to the running server. For Cursor, add the server to its MCP settings; for Claude Desktop, add the mcpServers block shown in the examples.
Lark Tools MCP Examples
Client configuration
Add to claude_desktop_config.json. Pass Feishu credentials as environment variables so the server can authenticate with the Feishu API.

Once connected, you can ask the AI to fetch Feishu documents by URL or document ID.
- "Fetch the Feishu document at https://your-company.feishu.cn/docs/ABC123 and summarise it"
- "Read the content of Feishu doc ID ABC123 and list all the action items"
- "Get the product spec document from Feishu and translate the requirements section into English"
- "Pull the meeting notes from this Feishu link and draft a follow-up email"Troubleshooting Lark Tools MCP
Authentication error: invalid app_id or app_secret
Copy FEISHU_APP_ID and FEISHU_APP_SECRET exactly from the Feishu Open Platform console. Ensure the app is published (not in draft state) and that the credentials are for a self-built app, not a marketplace app.
get_feishu_doc returns permission denied
The custom app must be added as a collaborator on the specific document, or the document must be shared with the app via its service account. In Feishu, open the document, click Share, and add your app's bot account.
yarn start fails with 'Cannot find module'
Run 'yarn install' first to ensure all dependencies are downloaded. If the error persists, run 'yarn build' to compile TypeScript before starting, then reference the compiled output path in your client config.
