Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install @mtane0412/twitch-mcp-server

Configuration

1. Create a new application in the Twitch Developer Console

2. Set the following environment variables:

## macOS/Linux
export TWITCH_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"

## Windows (PowerShell)
$env:TWITCH_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
$env:TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"

Alternatively, you can create a .env file:

Usage

After installation, you can start using the server by running:

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspect

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
