πŸ’¬ Discord MCP Server

npm version License: MIT

Overview

The Discord MCP Server enables AI agents to interact with the Discord platform through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server provides comprehensive access to Discord's features including messaging, channel management, forum operations, reactions, and webhook management.

By implementing MCP, this server allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to read and send messages, manage channels and forums, handle reactions, and interact with webhooks directly through their context window, bridging the gap between AI and Discord communities.

The server supports bi-directional communication through a Sampling feature, allowing the bot to listen to messages and respond automatically when mentioned.
