Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install mcp-discord automatically via Smithery

Manual Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/barryyip0625/mcp-discord.git cd mcp-discord # Install dependencies npm install # Compile TypeScript npm run build

Configuration

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

Transport Methods

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

Configuration Options

You can provide configuration in two ways:

  1. Environment variables:
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
  1. 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"
