3. Configure Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/mcp-discord/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_TOKEN": "your-bot-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. For Voice Messages (Optional)

Add ElevenLabs credentials:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/mcp-discord/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_TOKEN": "your-bot-token-here",
        "ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "your-elevenlabs-key",
        "ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID": "your-voice-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your voice ID from ElevenLabs — they have a free tier.

Usage Examples

Once configured, Claude can:

"Read the last 20 messages from #general"
"Send 'Hello everyone!' to channel 123456789"
"React with fire emoji to message 987654321"
"Search for messages containing 'bug report' in the server"
"Send a voice message saying 'Good morning!' to the channel"
"Fetch that image so I can see it"

For AI Companions

See README-AI.md for companion-specific guidance:

• Multi-room presence (desktop + mobile + Cloudflare)

• Memory integration patterns

• Community interaction guidelines

• Setting up a portable version for mobile Claude

Architecture

Claude Desktop ←→ MCP Server (Node.js) ←→ Discord API ←→ Your Server

The bridge runs locally. Only connects to:

• Discord (official API)

• Anthropic (when Claude processes)

• ElevenLabs (if using voice)

Security

• Bot token is stored locally in your Claude config — never commit it

• Bot can only see channels it has permission to view

• No third-party data storage

If your token leaks, reset it immediately in Discord Developer Portal.
