discord-mcp

A feature-rich Discord MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Claude Code and other MCP clients. Control Discord from your AI assistant — browse servers, send messages, moderate, manage channels/roles/emojis, analyze your message history, and more. 70+ tools.

Runs on Bun, stores captured messages in SQLite, and authenticates with the tokens already cached in your local Discord client — no bot account or manual token setup needed.

⚠️ Read this first

• This tool acts as your Discord account (user account, not a bot). Anything it does — sending, banning, editing servers — happens as you.

• Automating a user account technically violates Discord's ToS. Use it on your own servers and at your own risk.

• Tokens are decrypted locally via Windows DPAPI and never leave the MCP process — they are never printed, logged, or passed to the AI.

• Windows only (token extraction uses Discord's LevelDB + DPAPI).

Setup

1. Install Bun

Download from https://bun.sh or with PowerShell:

powershell -c "irm bun.sh/install.ps1 | iex"

2. Clone & install

git clone https://github.com/nesquickwe/discord-mcp.git
cd discord-mcp
bun install
bun add -d bun-types

3. Make sure Discord is logged in

The server reads tokens from your local Discord client's storage (%APPDATA%\discord\Local Storage\leveldb). Just have the desktop app installed and logged in to the account(s) you want to use.

4. Register with your AI tool

The included setup_mcp.ps1 auto-detects and registers the server with every supported client:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File setup_mcp.ps1

Supported: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Trae, Google Antigravity, Windsurf/Devin, Cursor.

To register with just one:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File setup_mcp.ps1 claude

Prefer manual setup? Add this to the right config file for your client (paths use Claude Code's %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "<path-to-bun>",
      "args": ["run", "<repo-path>\\src\\index.ts"]
    }
  }
}

Restart your AI tool and the discord MCP server appears with all tools.

Then restart Claude Code and the discord MCP server appears with all tools.

Usage tips

• Connect first. Most API tools need an active session: start_capture (optionally with account).

• Multiple accounts? list_accounts shows what's cached, then start_capture({account: "myaccount"}) to connect as a specific one.

• Captured vs API data — query_messages/search_messages only see messages that arrived while capture was running; fetch_channel_history pulls straight from the Discord API.

• Messages are stored in data/messages.db (SQLite) so analysis tools work across sessions.
