ThreadsMcpNet

A .NET 8 MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for publishing content to Threads via the Threads API.

Features

• MCP Server Integration: Expose Threads API functionality as MCP tools for AI assistants
• OAuth Authentication: Secure login flow for Threads
• Content Publishing: Create and publish text posts to Threads
• Dual Mode Operation:
  • Stdio Mode: Run as an MCP server for Claude Desktop or other MCP clients
  • HTTP Mode: Run as a web server with REST endpoints
• Redis Caching: Store authentication tokens and session data
• Cloud-Ready: Configured for deployment to Google Cloud Run

Prerequisites

• .NET 8.0 SDK
• Redis server (local or remote)
• Threads API credentials (App ID, App Secret)

Configuration

1. Copy .env.example to .env:

cp .env.example .env

2. Update the .env file with your credentials:

HOST=https://graph.threads.net/
APP_ID=your_threads_app_id
APP_SECRET=your_threads_app_secret
REDIRECT_URI=your_redirect_url
Redis__Host=your_redis_host
Redis__User=your_redis_user
Redis__Password=your_redis_password
Redis__Database=0

Installation

dotnet restore
dotnet build

Usage

Run as MCP Server (Stdio Mode)

For use with Claude Desktop or other MCP clients:

dotnet run -- --mcp

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "threads": {
      "command": "dotnet",
      "args": ["run", "--project", "/path/to/ThreadsMcpNet", "--", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Run as Web Server (HTTP Mode)

dotnet run

The server will start on port 8080 (or the port specified by the PORT environment variable).

• GET /login - Initiate OAuth login
• GET /callback - OAuth callback handler
• GET /api/me - Get current user info
• POST /api/post - Create and publish a post (query param: input)
• /mcp - MCP protocol endpoint
