🔧 Manual Installation
</summary>
#### Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SaseQ/discord-mcp
```
#### Build the project
> NOTE: Maven installation is required to use the mvn command. Full instructions can be found [here](https://www.baeldung.com/install-maven-on-windows-linux-mac).
```bash
cd discord-mcp
mvn clean package # The jar file will be available in the /target directory
```
#### Configure AI client
Many code editors and other AI clients use a configuration file to manage MCP servers.
The Discord MPC server can be configured by adding the following to your configuration file.
> NOTE: You will need to create a Discord Bot token to use this server. Instructions on how to create a Discord Bot token can be found [here](https://discordjs.guide/preparations/setting-up-a-bot-application.html#creating-your-bot).
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"discord-mcp": {
"command": "java",
"args": [
"-jar",
"/absolute/path/to/discord-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
],
"env": {
"DISCORD_TOKEN": "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
"DISCORD_GUILD_ID": "OPTIONAL_DEFAULT_SERVER_ID"
}
}
}
}
```
The `DISCORD_GUILD_ID` environment variable is optional. When provided, it sets a default Discord server ID so any tool that accepts a `guildId` parameter can omit it.
