Add your Discord bot to your server
- To add your Discord bot to your server, use one of the following invite links (replace INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE with your bot's client ID):
  - Administrator (full access): https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=8
  - Custom permissions (minimum required): https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=52076489808

Note:
According to Discord's security model, a bot can only access information from servers it has been explicitly added to.
If you want to use this MCP server to access a specific Discord server, you must add the bot to that server first.
Use the invite link below to add the bot to your target server.

Configuration

A Discord bot token is required for proper operation. The server supports two transport methods: stdio and streamable HTTP.

Transport Methods

stdio (Default)
- Traditional stdio transport for basic usage
- Suitable for simple integrations
streamable HTTP
- HTTP-based transport for more advanced scenarios
- Supports stateless operation
- Configurable port number

Configuration Options

You can provide configuration in two ways:

Environment variables:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token

Using command line arguments:

# For stdio transport (default)
node build/index.js --config "your_discord_bot_token"

# For streamable HTTP transport
node build/index.js --transport http --port 3000 --config "your_discord_bot_token"
