Bale MCP Server 🚀

Production-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Bale Messenger.
Empowers Large Language Models (LLMs) to authenticate, inspect dialogs, read histories, send messages, interact with groups, and manage contacts on Bale user accounts.

🌟 Key Highlights

⚡ Native Async Performance: Powered by aiobale-py and official Python MCP SDK (mcp.server.mcpserver).
🔐 Multi-Account Sessions: Auto-discovers and switches between .bale sessions on disk with zero credentials re-prompting.
📱 Interactive & Tool-based Auth: Support for interactive phone SMS login via CLI (bale-mcp login) or programmatically via MCP tools (bale_auth_request_code, bale_auth_verify_code, bale_auth_verify_password).
💬 Complete Messaging Ecosystem: Send, reply, edit, delete, forward, pin, and mark read across private chats, groups, and channels.
👥 Contacts & Profile Search: Query users by @username or phone number, fetch full profiles, manage contacts, and block/unblock.
📢 Groups & Channels Management: Inspect settings, member counts, invite users, generate invite URLs, and manage participant states.
⚡ Reactions & Presence: Send and remove emoji reactions (👍, ❤️, 🔥) and broadcast typing indicators.
🛡️ Zero Data Leakage: Session keys and .bale tokens remain strictly local and are protected by .gitignore.
