Discord Bridge MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude Code native Discord tools. Enables bidirectional communication between your local Claude Code session and remote AI agents (or humans) through Discord.

What it does

This server exposes 6 Discord tools to Claude Code:

Tool

Description

discord_send

Send a message to any channel

discord_read

Read recent messages (with pagination)

discord_reply

Reply to a specific message

discord_react

React to a message with emoji

discord_channels

Uses the Discord REST API directly -- no WebSocket gateway connection needed. Lightweight, stateless, ~250 lines of code.

  4. Enable "Message Content Intent" under Privileged Gateway Intents

  5. Invite the bot to your server with Send Messages + Read Message History permissions

npm install

3. Register with Claude Code

claude mcp add discord-bridge \
  -e DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your-bot-token \
  -e DISCORD_GUILD_ID=your-server-id \
  -e DISCORD_DEFAULT_CHANNEL=general \
  -- node /path/to/index.js

Claude Code communicates with the MCP server over stdio. The MCP server translates tool calls into Discord REST API requests. Remote agents (or humans) see messages in Discord and can respond. Claude Code picks up responses on the next /talk invocation.

Use cases

  • Multi-agent coordination: Local Claude Code delegates tasks to remote AI agents running on a server

  • Human-in-the-loop: Team members monitor and participate in agent conversations via Discord

  • Cross-machine communication: Bridge between your laptop and a remote server running AI agents

  • Async task management: Post tasks, check on progress, get notified of completions
