Discord MCP Bot Integration

The Discord MCP server connects your AI assistant to Discord — send messages, manage servers, and build AI-powered moderation tools.

Capabilities

• Send and read messages
• Manage channels and servers
• Moderate users
• Read message history
• Monitor server activity

Setup

Create a Discord application at discord.com/developers and generate a Bot Token.

Visit our Discord MCP page or use:

{"mcpServers":{"discord":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@discord/mcp-server"],"env":{"DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN":"your_bot_token"}}}}

Try It

“Send a message to #announcements saying the new release is live” or “Show me recent messages in #general.”

Building Interactive ChatOps with Discord MCP

A Discord MCP server bridges the gap between your local AI assistant and your community or team. By providing your LLM the ability to read channel history and post formatted messages, you can transform Claude Desktop into a powerful community management tool. Imagine asking your local agent to "summarize the bug reports from the #general channel over the last 24 hours" and getting an immediate, formatted response.

Rate limiting is a massive consideration when integrating with the Discord API. Your MCP configuration must cleanly handle HTTP 429 Too Many Requests responses. If your agent is instructed to fetch large amounts of data, implement robust backoff logic within your server wrapper to avoid having your bot token temporarily banned by Discord's anti-abuse systems.
