TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: listing guilds, listing channels, getting channel metadata, listing messages, and getting a single message. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tool names follow the consistent pattern of 'discord_' + verb + '_' + noun, using lowercase snake_case throughout (list_guilds, get_channel, list_messages). This makes the set predictable and easy to navigate.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped and focused on read-only Discord operations. Each tool covers a distinct aspect of the domain without excess or omissions that would make the set feel thin.
The tool set provides solid read coverage (guilds, channels, messages), but lacks any write operations like sending messages or creating/deleting channels. This is a notable gap for a general-purpose Discord MCP, though it may be intentional for a read-only use case.
