About
Model Context Protocol server wrapping the Tinder API
README
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Tinder API, implemented in TypeScript.
Overview
This MCP server provides a standardized interface for interacting with the Tinder API. It handles authentication, request processing, rate limiting, caching, and error handling, making it easier to build applications that integrate with Tinder.
Features
- Authentication Management: Support for SMS and Facebook authentication methods
- Request Handling: Validation, transformation, and forwarding of API requests
- Response Processing: Parsing, validation, and transformation of API responses
- Rate Limiting: Protection against API rate limits
- Caching: Efficient caching of API responses
- Error Handling: Standardized error responses
- Security: Secure token storage and HTTPS communication
Architecture
The server follows a modular architecture with the following components:
- API Gateway: Entry point for MCP tools and resources
- Authentication Service: Handles user authentication flows
- Request Handler: Processes and forwards API requests
- Rate Limiter: Manages API rate limits
- Cache Manager: Caches API responses
- Error Handler: Standardizes error responses

MCP Tools
The server provides the following MCP tools:
authenticate_sms: Authenticate user with SMSauthenticate_facebook: Authenticate user with Facebookverify_captcha: Verify CAPTCHA responselike_user: Like a user profilesuper_like_user: Super like a user profilepass_user: Pass on a user profileboost_profile: Boost user profile visibilityget_user_profile: Get user profile informationget_recommendations: Get potential matchesclear_cache: Clear cacheget_rate_limits: Get rate limit information
MCP Resources
The server provides the following MCP resources:

Security Considerations
- Never hardcode secrets or API keys
- Use environment variables for sensitive information
- Implement proper authentication for all endpoints
- Use HTTPS for all communications
- Sanitize input and output data
