Facebook MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 42 installs a week from npm. Last commit 29 Aug 2026.
Facebook Pages MCP server for the Meta Graph API — publishing, insights, moderation, messaging
Today is the operative word: we check Facebook MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
FB_SYSTEM_TOKEN (System-user access token (Business Manager). Takes precedence over FB_ACCESS_TOKEN and FB_PAGE_TOKEN when several are set.), FB_ACCESS_TOKEN (Primary user access token. At least one of FB_SYSTEM_TOKEN, FB_ACCESS_TOKEN or FB_PAGE_TOKEN must be set.), FB_PAGE_TOKEN (Long-lived Page access token used as a fallback credential when no user or system-user token is configured.), FB_APP_ID (Meta app ID; combined with FB_APP_SECRET it forms the app access token used to authorize /debug_token inspection.), FB_APP_SECRET (Meta app secret. When set, appsecret_proof is attached to every call so a stolen bare token cannot be used on its own.), FB_PAGE_ID (Default Facebook Page ID, used when a tool call omits an explicit profile argument.), FB_API_VERSION (Graph API version to target. Defaults to the tested pinned version; other values are accepted verbatim as an escape hatch but are not tested.), FB_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds; integer in [1, 600000].), FB_HOST_CONCURRENCY (Maximum number of in-flight requests per Graph host; integer in [1, 64].), FB_MAX_RESULT_CHARS (Character budget applied by the result shaper before a tool result is truncated; integer in [500, 10000000].), FB_WRITE_MODE (Write gating mode: plan (validating dry-run preview, the default) or apply. It never covers the irreversible and spend tiers, which always need a per-call apply plus a plan_id.), FB_CONFIRM_TOKEN (Operator confirmation token for out-of-band approval of irreversible or spend actions. The server prompts through MCP elicitation where the client supports it; otherwise the caller passes this value as the confirm_token tool argument.), FB_MEDIA_DIR (Directory permitted for local media uploads. Unset means URL-only uploads and no local file access at all.), FB_JOURNAL_PATH (Path to the append-only write journal. Defaults to the XDG/%APPDATA% state path; the file is created owner-only (0600) and rotates by size.), FB_TOOL_PACKAGES (Comma-separated tool packages or profiles to expose (e.g. core,posts,reader, or the profiles core|all|reader|publisher|moderator|ads). Omit for the default profile, which excludes ads.), FB_PACKAGES_DENY (Comma-separated packages to exclude even when FB_TOOL_PACKAGES enables them. Deny wins over allow.), FB_PACKAGES_READONLY (Comma-separated packages whose write tools are not registered at all; the read tools of those packages stay available.), FB_TRANSPORT (Transport protocol: stdio (default) or http. The http transport binds 127.0.0.1 only and fails closed without FB_HTTP_TOKEN.), FB_HTTP_TOKEN (Bearer token guarding the HTTP transport; required when FB_TRANSPORT=http (the server refuses to start without it).), FB_HTTP_PORT (Port for the HTTP transport (loopback only); used when FB_TRANSPORT=http. Integer in [1, 65535].), FB_AD_ACCOUNT_ID (Default ad account ID (act_… or the bare numeric id) for the opt-in ads package.), FB_ADS_BUDGET_CEILING (Hard ceiling for any ads budget write, in minor currency units (e.g. cents). Non-negative integer; a write above it is refused.), FB_LOG_LEVEL (Stderr log verbosity: debug, info, warn or error. Logs never go to stdout — that is the stdio protocol channel.).
