Facebook MCP Server

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Facebook features, including Profiles, Pages, Posts, and Engagement. This server integrates with the Facebook Graph API and provides a seamless way for AI agents (like Claude Desktop) to interact with Facebook.

Features

• OAuth 2.0 Authentication: No need to hardcode long-lived access tokens. The server includes a built-in OAuth flow to authenticate directly with Facebook.
• Profile Management: Fetch profile details for the authenticated user or specific user IDs.
• Page Management: List managed pages and fetch page insights.
• Content Publishing: Publish posts to feeds or pages, and delete objects.
• Engagement: Read feeds, fetch comments, and reply to comments.
• Docker Support: Easily containerized and run with Docker Compose.

Prerequisites

Before running the server, you need to create a Facebook App on the Meta for Developers portal.

1. Go to Meta for Developers.
2. Create a new App (choose "Other" -> "Consumer" or "Business" depending on your needs).
3. Add the Facebook Login product to your app.
4. In the Facebook Login settings, add your redirect URI to the "Valid OAuth Redirect URIs" list. By default, it should be: http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback.
5. Get your App ID and App Secret from the App Dashboard -> Settings -> Basic.

Installation

Local Setup

1. Clone or copy the project files to your desired directory.
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your credentials:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Edit .env:

   FACEBOOK_APP_ID=your_actual_app_id
   FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET=your_actual_app_secret
   PORT=3000
   REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback
   

Running the Server

Option 1: Local Node.js

1. Build the project:

   npm run build
   

2. Start the server:

   npm start
   

Option 2: Docker

1. Make sure your .env file is filled out.
2. Run with Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up --build
   

   This will build the image and start the server, exposing the port specified in your .env file (default 3000) for the authentication callback.

Connecting to Claude Desktop

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file (usually located at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS).

For Local Execution:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "facebook": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["f:/MCP_Server/Facebook_MCP_server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "FACEBOOK_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
        "FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET": "your_app_secret",
        "REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback",
        "PORT": "3000"
      }
    }
  }
}

(Adjust the path to index.js as necessary)

For Docker Execution:

If running via Docker, the server reads the .env file from the directory. You can use the docker command in Claude config if you have Claude configured to run docker commands, or simply run the container in the background and connect via network if supported (though stdio is the standard for Claude Desktop).

Authentication Flow

Once the server is connected to Claude Desktop:

1. Ask Claude to "Authenticate with Facebook" or use the fb_authenticate tool.
2. Claude will provide a login URL.
3. Open the URL in your browser, log in to Facebook, and authorize the application.
4. You will be redirected to a page that says "Authentication Successful!".
5. The server automatically saves the access token in a local .fb_token.json file.
6. You can now start using all other tools!
