Safety Notes

send_message, create_thread, and add_reaction are visible in Discord. They may notify users depending on server settings. Confirm the guild, channel, message, and content before calling write tools.

Discord messages can contain personal data and private workspace context. Do not commit tokens, channel exports, or message bodies.

Authentication

This server supports the Owner 4 target of Type 4 OAuth or bot token via Type 3 DAuth.

Default code path:

• Connection name: discord-mcp

• Secret key: DISCORD_ACCESS_TOKEN

• Base URL: https://discord.com/api/v10

• Header: Authorization: Bearer <token> by default

OAuth deployment variables:

OAUTH_ENABLED=true
OAUTH_AUTHORIZE_URL=https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize
OAUTH_TOKEN_URL=https://discord.com/api/oauth2/token
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=...
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=...
OAUTH_SCOPES_AVAILABLE=identify,guilds,messages.read
OAUTH_BASE_URL=https://discord.com/api/v10
DEDALUS_AS_URL=https://as.dedaluslabs.ai

For bot-token deployments, Discord expects Authorization: Bot <token>. Set DISCORD_AUTH_HEADER_FORMAT=Bot {api_key} before starting or deploying the server. Bot tokens can post as the bot and should be treated as production secrets.

Run Locally

uv run python src/main.py

In another terminal:

MCP_SERVER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp uv run python src/_client.py

Set DISCORD_TEST_GUILD_ID, DISCORD_TEST_CHANNEL_ID, and DISCORD_TEST_MESSAGE_ID to safe test resources. The client intentionally calls write tools.

Deploy

Publish as dedalus-labs/discord-mcp, configure OAuth or bot-token DAuth in Dedalus, deploy, then run:

DEDALUS_MCP_SERVER_ONLY=1 DEDALUS_MCP_SERVER=dedalus-labs/discord-mcp uv run python src/_client.py
