Discord MCP - Discord server management MCP for AI agents

List members

list_members
Read-only

Retrieve a paged roster of Discord server members, using the last member ID as a cursor to continue through large guilds. Use member search instead when you need to find specific people.

Instructions

A paged roster of server members. Pass after with the last id to continue. For finding specific people, search_members is better.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

    "name": "list_members"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
afterNoUser id cursor to page past.
guildNoGuild (server) name or ID. Omit to use the default guild.
limitNoHow many, up to 1000. Default 100.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds the pagination model beyond that: results are paged and the cursor is advanced by passing the last id, which tells the agent how to drive the loop. It stops short of mentioning ordering or default page size, which the schema covers instead.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with what the tool returns, then pagination mechanics, then the alternative. No filler and nothing buried.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only, zero-required-parameter list tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the definition covers purpose, paging, and routing adequately. The only mild gap is that return fields aren't characterized at all, which matters slightly more since no output schema exists.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description still adds operational meaning for the `after` cursor by explaining how to continue paging, which goes slightly beyond the schema's terse "User id cursor to page past," but it says nothing about `guild` or `limit` beyond what the schema documents.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific resource and scope: a paged roster of server members. It also names the sibling it is not (search_members), so an agent can distinguish listing from searching without opening either schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit continuation instructions ("Pass after with the last id to continue") and an explicit alternative with the condition that selects it ("For finding specific people, search_members is better"). Both when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else are covered.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
