## 3. Detailed Component Design
### 3.1 Constants (`src/constants.ts`)
**Purpose**: Centralize all configuration values and magic numbers.
```typescript
import { homedir } from 'os';
import { join } from 'path';
export const CHARACTER_LIMIT = 25000;
export const DISCORD_MESSAGE_LIMIT = 2000;
export const CONFIG_DIR = process.env.DISCORD_MCP_CONFIG_DIR ||
join(homedir(), '.config', 'discord_mcp');
export const WEBHOOKS_FILE = join(CONFIG_DIR, 'webhooks.json');
export const LIVING_LANDS_LOGO_URL =
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoshPitCodes/living-lands-reloaded/main/.github/assets/logo/living-lands-reloaded-logo.png';
export const KOFI_USERNAME = 'moshpitplays';
export const KOFI_URL = `https://ko-fi.com/${KOFI_USERNAME}`;
```
**Design Decisions**:
- Use native Node.js `os` and `path` modules for cross-platform compatibility
- Support environment variable override (`DISCORD_MCP_CONFIG_DIR`)
- Export as constants (not magic strings throughout codebase)
---
### 3.2 Type System
#### 3.2.1 Enums (`src/types/enums.ts`)
```typescript
export enum ResponseFormat {
MARKDOWN = 'markdown',
JSON = 'json',
}
export enum AnnouncementStyle {
RELEASE = 'release',
HOTFIX = 'hotfix',
BETA = 'beta',
CUSTOM = 'custom',
}
```
**Design Decisions**:
- Use TypeScript enums for type safety and IDE autocomplete
- String enums for JSON serialization compatibility
- Values chosen for clarity and consistency
#### 3.2.2 Validation Schemas (`src/types/schemas.ts`)
**Purpose**: Runtime validation using Zod for type safety.
```typescript
import { z } from 'zod';
import { ResponseFormat, AnnouncementStyle } from './enums';
// Webhook URL validator
const webhookUrlSchema = z.string()
.min(50)
.max(300)
.refine(
(url) => url.startsWith('https://discord.com/api/webhooks/') ||
url.startsWith('https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/'),
{ message: 'Invalid Discord webhook URL' }
);
// Webhook Configuration
export const webhookConfigSchema = z.object({
name: z.string().min(1).max(50),
url: webhookUrlSchema,
description: z.string().max(200).optional(),
addedAt: z.string().datetime(),
});
// Tool Input Schemas
export const sendMessageInputSchema = z.object({
webhookName: z.string().min(1).max(50),
content: z.string().min(1).max(2000),
username: z.string().max(80).optional(),
avatarUrl: z.string().url().optional(),
responseFormat: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat).default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN),
});
export const sendAnnouncementInputSchema = z.object({
webhookName: z.string().min(1).max(50),
version: z.string().min(1).max(30),
headline: z.string().min(1).max(256),
changes: z.array(z.string()).min(1).max(10),
downloadUrl: z.string().url().optional(),
style: z.nativeEnum(AnnouncementStyle).default(AnnouncementStyle.RELEASE),
betaWarning: z.boolean().default(false),
useEmbed: z.boolean().default(true),
embedColor: z.string().regex(/^#[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}$/).optional(),
thumbnailUrl: z.string().url().optional(),
footerText: z.string().max(100).optional(),
username: z.string().max(80).optional(),
responseFormat: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat).default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN),
});
export const sendTeaserInputSchema = z.object({
webhookName: z.string().min(1).max(50),
version: z.string().min(1).max(30),
headline: z.string().min(1).max(256),
highlights: z.array(z.string()).min(1).max(10),
additionalInfo: z.string().max(500).optional(),
style: z.nativeEnum(AnnouncementStyle).default(AnnouncementStyle.CUSTOM),
thumbnailUrl: z.string().url().optional(),
footerText: z.string().max(100).optional(),
username: z.string().max(80).optional(),
responseFormat: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat).default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN),
});
export const addWebhookInputSchema = z.object({
name: z.string().min(1).max(50).transform((name) =>
name.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '_')
),
url: webhookUrlSchema,
description: z.string().max(200).optional(),
});
export const removeWebhookInputSchema = z.object({
name: z.string().min(1).max(50),
});
export const listWebhooksInputSchema = z.object({
responseFormat: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat).default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN),
});
```
**Design Decisions**:
- `.refine()` for custom validation logic (webhook URL format)
- `.transform()` for name sanitization
- `.default()` for optional fields with defaults
- Comprehensive validation for all input constraints
#### 3.2.3 TypeScript Interfaces (`src/types/interfaces.ts`)
```typescript
import { z } from 'zod';
import * as schemas from './schemas';
// Infer TypeScript types from Zod schemas
export type WebhookConfig = z.infer<typeof schemas.webhookConfigSchema>;
export type SendMessageInput = z.infer<typeof schemas.sendMessageInputSchema>;
export type SendAnnouncementInput = z.infer<typeof schemas.sendAnnouncementInputSchema>;
export type SendTeaserInput = z.infer<typeof schemas.sendTeaserInputSchema>;
export type AddWebhookInput = z.infer<typeof schemas.addWebhookInputSchema>;
export type RemoveWebhookInput = z.infer<typeof schemas.removeWebhookInputSchema>;
export type ListWebhooksInput = z.infer<typeof schemas.listWebhooksInputSchema>;
// Discord API types
export interface DiscordEmbed {
title?: string;
description?: string;
url?: string;
color?: number;
timestamp?: string;
fields?: DiscordEmbedField[];
thumbnail?: { url: string };
footer?: { text: string };
}
export interface DiscordEmbedField {
name: string;
value: string;
inline?: boolean;
}
export interface WebhookMessagePayload {
content?: string;
username?: string;
avatar_url?: string;
embeds?: DiscordEmbed[];
}
export interface WebhookResponse {
success: boolean;
statusCode?: number;
message?: string;
error?: string;
response?: any;
}
export interface WebhookStorage {
[name: string]: {
url: string;
description?: string;
addedAt: string;
};
}
```
**Design Decisions**:
- Use `z.infer<>` for DRY principle (single source of truth)
- Separate Discord API types for clarity
- Storage interface matches JSON file structure
---
### 3.3 Utility Layer
#### 3.3.1 Storage Management (`src/utils/storage.ts`)
**Purpose**: Handle webhook configuration persistence.
```typescript
import { mkdir, exists, readFile, writeFile } from 'fs/promises';
import { CONFIG_DIR, WEBHOOKS_FILE } from '../constants';
import type { WebhookStorage } from '../types/interfaces';
export async function ensureConfigDir(): Promise<void> {
if (!await exists(CONFIG_DIR)) {
await mkdir(CONFIG_DIR, { recursive: true });
}
}
export async function loadWebhooks(): Promise<WebhookStorage> {
await ensureConfigDir();
if (!await exists(WEBHOOKS_FILE)) {
return {};
}
try {
const content = await readFile(WEBHOOKS_FILE, 'utf-8');
return JSON.parse(content);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to load webhooks:', error);
return {};
}
}
export async function saveWebhooks(webhooks: WebhookStorage): Promise<void> {
await ensureConfigDir();
await writeFile(WEBHOOKS_FILE, JSON.stringify(webhooks, null, 2), 'utf-8');
}
export async function getWebhookUrl(name: string): Promise<string | null> {
const webhooks = await loadWebhooks();
const webhook = webhooks[name.toLowerCase()];
return webhook?.url ?? null;
}
```
**Design Decisions**:
- Use async/await for all file operations
- Automatic directory creation (`ensureConfigDir`)
- Graceful error handling (return empty object on parse failure)
- Case-insensitive webhook name lookup
**Error Handling**:
- Log errors to stderr but don't crash
- Return empty storage on read failure (allows recovery)
#### 3.3.2 Webhook HTTP Operations (`src/utils/webhook.ts`)
**Purpose**: Send messages to Discord via webhooks using axios.
```typescript
import axios, { AxiosError } from 'axios';
import type { WebhookMessagePayload, WebhookResponse, DiscordEmbed } from '../types/interfaces';
export async function sendWebhookMessage(
webhookUrl: string,
payload: WebhookMessagePayload
): Promise<WebhookResponse> {
try {
const response = await axios.post(webhookUrl, payload, {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
timeout: 30000,
validateStatus: (status) => status >= 200 && status < 300,
});
return {
success: true,
statusCode: response.status,
message: 'Message sent successfully',
response: response.data,
};
} catch (error) {
if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
const axiosError = error as AxiosError;
return {
success: false,
statusCode: axiosError.response?.status,
error: extractErrorMessage(axiosError),
};
}
return {
success: false,
error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
};
}
}
function extractErrorMessage(error: AxiosError): string {
const status = error.response?.status;
switch (status) {
case 400:
return 'Bad request. Check that the message content is valid and within Discord limits.';
case 401:
return 'Unauthorized. The webhook URL may be invalid or expired.';
case 403:
return 'Forbidden. The webhook may have been deleted or you don\'t have permission.';
case 404:
return 'Webhook not found. The webhook URL may be invalid or deleted.';
case 429:
return 'Rate limited. Too many requests. Please wait before sending more messages.';
default:
return `Discord API returned status ${status}`;
}
}
```
**Design Decisions**:
- Use axios for better error handling vs native fetch
- 30-second timeout for reliable webhook requests
- Comprehensive HTTP status code handling
- Type-safe error extraction
**Error Handling Strategy**:
- Catch all errors (network, timeout, validation)
- Return structured response (never throw)
- User-friendly error messages for common Discord errors
#### 3.3.3 Discord Embed Builders (`src/utils/embed.ts`)
**Purpose**: Build Discord embed objects for rich announcements.
```typescript
import { AnnouncementStyle } from '../types/enums';
import { LIVING_LANDS_LOGO_URL, KOFI_USERNAME, KOFI_URL } from '../constants';
import type { DiscordEmbed } from '../types/interfaces';
// Color mapping (Discord uses decimal values)
const STYLE_COLORS: Record<AnnouncementStyle, number> = {
[AnnouncementStyle.RELEASE]: 0x57F287, // Green
[AnnouncementStyle.HOTFIX]: 0xED4245, // Red
[AnnouncementStyle.BETA]: 0xFEE75C, // Yellow
[AnnouncementStyle.CUSTOM]: 0x5865F2, // Blurple
};
// Emoji mapping
const STYLE_EMOJIS: Record<AnnouncementStyle, string> = {
[AnnouncementStyle.RELEASE]: '📦',
[AnnouncementStyle.HOTFIX]: '🚨',
[AnnouncementStyle.BETA]: '🧪',
[AnnouncementStyle.CUSTOM]: '📢',
};
export function buildAnnouncementEmbed(params: {
version: string;
headline: string;
changes: string[];
downloadUrl?: string;
style: AnnouncementStyle;
betaWarning: boolean;
embedColor?: string;
thumbnailUrl?: string;
footerText?: string;
}): DiscordEmbed {
const color = parseColor(params.embedColor) ?? STYLE_COLORS[params.style];
const emoji = STYLE_EMOJIS[params.style];
const embed: DiscordEmbed = {
title: `${emoji} ${params.version} is live!`,
description: params.headline,
color,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
fields: [],
};
// Add changes field
const changesText = params.changes.map(c => `→ ${c}`).join('\n');
embed.fields!.push({
name: 'What\'s New',
value: changesText,
inline: false,
});
// Beta warning
if (params.betaWarning) {
embed.fields!.push({
name: '⚠️ Warning',
value: 'This is a **beta release**. Back up your world before updating!',
inline: false,
});
}
// Download link
if (params.downloadUrl) {
embed.url = params.downloadUrl;
embed.fields!.push({
name: '🔗 Download',
value: `[Get it here](${params.downloadUrl})`,
inline: false,
});
}
// Donation field
embed.fields!.push({
name: '☕ Support Development',
value: `Enjoying Living Lands Reloaded? Consider supporting development: [Ko-fi.com/${KOFI_USERNAME}](${KOFI_URL})`,
inline: false,
});
// Thumbnail
embed.thumbnail = { url: params.thumbnailUrl ?? LIVING_LANDS_LOGO_URL };
// Footer
embed.footer = { text: params.footerText ?? 'Release Announcement' };
return embed;
}
export function buildTeaserEmbed(params: {
version: string;
headline: string;
highlights: string[];
additionalInfo?: string;
style: AnnouncementStyle;
embedColor?: string;
thumbnailUrl?: string;
footerText?: string;
}): DiscordEmbed {
const color = parseColor(params.embedColor) ?? STYLE_COLORS[params.style];
const embed: DiscordEmbed = {
title: `👀 ${params.version} - ${params.headline}`,
description: 'Something exciting is on the way... 🌱',
color,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
fields: [],
};
// Highlights
const highlightsText = params.highlights.map(h => `→ ${h}`).join('\n');
embed.fields!.push({
name: '✨ What to Expect',
value: highlightsText,
inline: false,
});
// Additional info
if (params.additionalInfo) {
embed.fields!.push({
name: '💡 More Info',
value: params.additionalInfo,
inline: false,
});
}
// Donation field
embed.fields!.push({
name: '☕ Support Development',
value: `Enjoying Living Lands Reloaded? Consider supporting development: [Ko-fi.com/${KOFI_USERNAME}](${KOFI_URL})`,
inline: false,
});
embed.thumbnail = { url: params.thumbnailUrl ?? LIVING_LANDS_LOGO_URL };
embed.footer = { text: params.footerText ?? `${params.version} • Coming Soon` };
return embed;
}
export function formatAnnouncement(params: {
version: string;
headline: string;
changes: string[];
downloadUrl?: string;
style: AnnouncementStyle;
betaWarning: boolean;
}): string {
const emoji = STYLE_EMOJIS[params.style];
const lines: string[] = [
`${emoji} **${params.version}** is live!`,
'',
params.headline,
'',
];
params.changes.forEach(change => {
const prefix = change.startsWith('→') || change.startsWith('->') ? '' : '→ ';
lines.push(prefix + change.replace('->', '→'));
});
if (params.betaWarning) {
lines.push('', '⚠️ Beta — back up your world before updating.');
}
if (params.downloadUrl) {
lines.push(`🔗 ${params.downloadUrl}`);
}
return lines.join('\n');
}
function parseColor(hex?: string): number | null {
if (!hex) return null;
try {
return parseInt(hex.replace('#', ''), 16);
} catch {
return null;
}
}
```
**Design Decisions**:
- Separate functions for announcement vs teaser embeds
- Plain text formatter for non-embed mode
- Color maps using TypeScript Record types
- Automatic emoji injection
- Living Lands branding by default
#### 3.3.4 Error Handling (`src/utils/errors.ts`)
**Purpose**: Centralized error formatting and logging.
```typescript
import { AxiosError } from 'axios';
export function handleError(error: unknown): string {
if (error instanceof AxiosError) {
return handleAxiosError(error);
}
if (error instanceof Error) {
return `Error: ${error.message}`;
}
return `Error: ${String(error)}`;
}
function handleAxiosError(error: AxiosError): string {
const status = error.response?.status;
if (error.code === 'ETIMEDOUT' || error.code === 'ECONNABORTED') {
return 'Error: Request timed out. Discord may be experiencing issues. Please try again.';
}
if (error.code === 'ECONNREFUSED' || error.code === 'ENOTFOUND') {
return 'Error: Could not connect to Discord. Check your internet connection.';
}
switch (status) {
case 400:
return 'Error: Bad request. Check that the message content is valid and within Discord\'s limits.';
case 401:
return 'Error: Unauthorized. The webhook URL may be invalid or expired.';
case 403:
return 'Error: Forbidden. The webhook may have been deleted or you don\'t have permission.';
case 404:
return 'Error: Webhook not found. The webhook URL may be invalid or deleted.';
case 429:
return 'Error: Rate limited. Too many requests. Please wait before sending more messages.';
default:
return `Error: Discord API returned status ${status}`;
}
}
```
---
### 3.4 MCP Tools Implementation
Each tool follows this pattern:
```typescript
import type { SendMessageInput } from '../types/interfaces';
import { sendMessageInputSchema } from '../types/schemas';
import { ResponseFormat } from '../types/enums';
export async function handleSendMessage(params: unknown): Promise<string> {
// 1. Validate input
const validated = sendMessageInputSchema.parse(params);
// 2. Execute business logic
const webhookUrl = await getWebhookUrl(validated.webhookName);
if (!webhookUrl) {
return formatError(validated.webhookName);
}
const result = await sendWebhookMessage(webhookUrl, {
content: validated.content,
username: validated.username,
avatar_url: validated.avatarUrl,
});
// 3. Format response
if (validated.responseFormat === ResponseFormat.JSON) {
return JSON.stringify(result, null, 2);
}
return result.success
? `Message sent successfully to '${validated.webhookName}' webhook.`
: `Error: Failed to send message. ${result.error}`;
}
```
**Tool-Specific Details**:
- **sendMessage**: Simple text message posting
- **sendAnnouncement**: Rich embed or plain text, length validation
- **sendTeaser**: Teaser-specific embed with "coming soon" messaging
- **addWebhook**: Validates URL, saves to storage
- **removeWebhook**: Checks existence, removes from storage
- **listWebhooks**: Sanitizes URLs, formats as markdown or JSON

### 3.5 MCP Server Entry Point (`src/index.ts`)
```typescript
import { Server } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js';
import { StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js';
import {
CallToolRequestSchema,
ListToolsRequestSchema,
} from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js';
// Import tool handlers
import { handleSendMessage } from './tools/sendMessage.js';
import { handleSendAnnouncement } from './tools/sendAnnouncement.js';
import { handleSendTeaser } from './tools/sendTeaser.js';
import { handleAddWebhook } from './tools/addWebhook.js';
import { handleRemoveWebhook } from './tools/removeWebhook.js';
import { handleListWebhooks } from './tools/listWebhooks.js';
const server = new Server(
{
name: 'discord',
version: '2.0.0',
},
{
capabilities: {
tools: {},
},
}
);
// Register tools
server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({
tools: [
{
name: 'discord_send_message',
description: 'Send a message to a Discord channel via webhook',
inputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
webhookName: { type: 'string', description: 'Name of configured webhook' },
content: { type: 'string', description: 'Message content (max 2000 chars)' },
username: { type: 'string', description: 'Override webhook username' },
avatarUrl: { type: 'string', description: 'Override webhook avatar' },
responseFormat: { type: 'string', enum: ['markdown', 'json'] },
},
required: ['webhookName', 'content'],
},
},
// ... other 5 tools
],
}));
// Handle tool calls
server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => {
const { name, arguments: args } = request.params;
try {
let result: string;
switch (name) {
case 'discord_send_message':
result = await handleSendMessage(args);
break;
case 'discord_send_announcement':
result = await handleSendAnnouncement(args);
break;
case 'discord_send_teaser':
result = await handleSendTeaser(args);
break;
case 'discord_add_webhook':
result = await handleAddWebhook(args);
break;
case 'discord_remove_webhook':
result = await handleRemoveWebhook(args);
break;
case 'discord_list_webhooks':
result = await handleListWebhooks(args);
break;
default:
throw new Error(`Unknown tool: ${name}`);
}
return {
content: [{ type: 'text', text: result }],
};
} catch (error) {
return {
content: [{ type: 'text', text: handleError(error) }],
isError: true,
};
}
});
// Start server
async function main() {
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);
console.error('Discord MCP Server v2.0.0 running on stdio');
}
main().catch((error) => {
console.error('Fatal error:', error);
process.exit(1);
});
```
**Design Decisions**:
- Server name "discord" for clear identification
- Tool names prefixed with `discord_` (MCP convention)
- Centralized error handling
- Stdio transport for OpenCode integration
- Graceful shutdown handling

## 6. Security Considerations
### 6.1 Webhook URL Protection
- **Storage**: URLs stored in `~/.config/discord_mcp/webhooks.json` (user-only permissions)
- **Display**: Only last 8 characters shown in `list_webhooks`
- **Logging**: Never log full webhook URLs
- **Git**: `webhooks.json` in `.gitignore`
### 6.2 Input Validation
- **Zod validation**: All inputs validated before processing
- **URL validation**: Only accept Discord webhook URLs
- **Length limits**: Enforce Discord's character limits
- **Sanitization**: Webhook names sanitized (alphanumeric + underscores)
### 6.3 Error Handling
- **No sensitive data in errors**: Don't expose webhook URLs in error messages
- **Rate limiting**: Inform users of Discord rate limits
- **Timeout protection**: 30-second HTTP timeout
---
## 7. Performance Considerations
### 7.1 Bun Optimizations
- **Native TypeScript**: No transpilation overhead
- **Fast HTTP**: Bun's fetch implementation faster than Node.js
- **Quick startup**: ~3ms cold start (vs ~50ms for Node.js)
### 7.2 Resource Usage
- **Memory**: ~20-30MB (typical MCP server)
- **CPU**: Minimal (I/O bound operations)
- **Disk**: ~5-10MB (dependencies bundled)
