Quick Start

Add this to your MCP client config and replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your bot token:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pasympa/discord-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

No install needed — npx handles everything.

Don't have a bot yet? See Creating Your Discord Bot.

Configuration

Add the config above to your claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

claude mcp add discord -e DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE -- npx -y @pasympa/discord-mcp

Add the config above to ~/.cursor/mcp.json. See Cursor MCP docs for details.

Add to your .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "discord-token",
      "description": "Discord Bot Token",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pasympa/discord-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_TOKEN": "${input:discord-token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

See VS Code MCP docs for details.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-e",
        "DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
        "pasympa/discord-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

git clone https://github.com/PaSympa/discord-mcp
cd discord-mcp
npm install && npm run build

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/discord-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Instead of passing the token in the MCP config, create a .env file at the project root:

DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

The server loads .env automatically via dotenv.

Environment variables

Variable	Default	Description
`DISCORD_TOKEN`	—	Required. Bot token.
`DISCORD_MESSAGE_CONTENT`	`true`	Set to `false` to stop requesting the Message Content privileged gateway intent at connect time.
`DISCORD_GUILD_MEMBERS`	`true`	Set to `false` to stop requesting the Server Members privileged gateway intent at connect time.
`DISCORD_MCP_TOOLSETS`	`all`	Comma-separated list of toolsets to expose, to keep the tool list small. Unset or `all` exposes every tool.
`DISCORD_ALLOWED_GUILDS`	all	Comma-separated guild IDs the server may act on. When set, tool calls targeting any other guild are rejected — whether addressed by guild ID, channel ID, thread ID, webhook, or invite code.

These flags only control which gateway intents the server requests when identifying. Requesting a privileged intent that is not enabled in the Developer Portal makes the connection fail at the first tool call (close code 4014) — set the flag to false to connect anyway.

Data access is governed by the portal toggles, not by these flags: this server reads everything over the REST API, which Discord gates on the portal setting alone. So with the portal toggles on, setting these flags to false loses nothing. With a portal toggle off, the corresponding data is restricted regardless of the flags: message bodies come back empty (content, embeds, attachments — except the bot's own messages, DMs, and messages that mention the bot) and member listing fails — enable the toggle in the portal to restore it.

Toolsets (DISCORD_MCP_TOOLSETS): discovery, messages, channels, permissions, members, roles, moderation, screening, stats, forums, webhooks, scheduled_events, invites, dm. Example — DISCORD_MCP_TOOLSETS=discovery,messages,members exposes only the discovery, message, and member tools. Note: a toolset ships its whole module, including its destructive tools (messages includes bulk delete; members includes kick/ban) — use DISCORD_ALLOWED_GUILDS and the dry-run defaults to bound them. Only the listed toolsets' tools are advertised and callable. Unknown names make the server fail at startup instead of silently exposing everything (an empty value counts as unset and exposes all).

Creating Your Discord Bot

Go to discord.com/developers/applications
New Application > give it a name
Bot tab > Reset Token > copy the token
Enable Privileged Gateway Intents (this server requests both by default, but new Discord apps have the portal toggles OFF):
- Server Members Intent
- Message Content Intent
Important: if the bot requests a privileged intent that is not enabled here, Discord closes the connection with code 4014 and every tool call fails. Enable both, or stop requesting the ones you don't need via the environment variables above.

Adding a new tool

Create a new file in src/tools/ (e.g. events.ts)
Declare each tool with defineTool({ name, description, annotations, schema, handle }) and export defineModule([...]) as the default
Import it and add it to allToolsets in src/tools/index.ts (the key is its DISCORD_MCP_TOOLSETS name)

Security

Never commit your Discord token to Git
Use environment variables or a .env file (not versioned)
Give the bot only the permissions it needs
Restrict the server to specific servers with DISCORD_ALLOWED_GUILDS
Irreversible mass actions (bulk_ban, prune_members, bulk_delete_messages, delete_channel) default to a dry_run preview — pass dry_run:false to apply
