The Discord MCP Server enables integration with the Discord API, allowing interaction through tools for messaging and server management. It requires a Discord bot token and specific permissions to function effectively.

Discord MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Discord API integration with Claude. This server allows Claude to interact with Discord servers via tools that perform actions such as sending messages, reading messages, and managing server resources.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 16 or higher
  • A Discord bot token (create one at the Discord Developer Portal)
  • Appropriate bot permissions:
    • Read Messages/View Channels
    • Send Messages
    • Read Message History
    • (Optional) Manage Roles, Manage Channels, etc. depending on functionality needed

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Install dependencies: 
    npm install
  3. Build the project: 
    npm run build

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory with:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token_here

Usage

  1. Start the server:

    npm start

  2. Configure Claude Desktop:

    • Add to Claude Desktop's configuration file:
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/discord-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": { "DISCORD_TOKEN": "your_discord_bot_token_here" }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

  • send-message: Send a message to a Discord channel
  • read-messages: Read recent messages from a Discord channel
  • list-channels: List available channels in the server
  • list-servers: List servers the bot has access to
  • get-user-info: Get information about a specific user

Security Considerations

  • The Discord bot token grants access to your Discord bot. Keep it secure.
  • The bot can only access servers it has been invited to.
  • Actions are limited by the bot's permissions in each server.
