Discord Notifications MCP Server

MCP server that gives AI coding agents access to Discord: send notifications to multiple channels, create channels for new projects, and post questions (yes/no, multiple choice, extended answer) with optional two-way response.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

• A Discord Bot: create an application, add a bot, copy the token. Invite the bot to your server with scopes: bot, permissions: Send Messages, View Channels, Manage Channels, Read Message History, Use Slash Commands (if needed). For questions with buttons, enable Message Content Intent in the Bot settings.

Config

Channel keys let agents use send_notification("general", "Done.") instead of raw channel IDs.

Install and run

cd mcp-discord-notify
pip install -r requirements.txt
export DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token
# optional: export DISCORD_GUILD_ID=your_server_id
# optional: create channels.json or set DISCORD_CHANNELS
python main.py

The server runs over stdio (JSON-RPC). Configure your MCP client to run:

• Command: python (or uv run python)

• Args: ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-discord-notify/main.py"]

• Env: DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=... (and optionally DISCORD_GUILD_ID, DISCORD_CHANNELS)

Cursor

Add to MCP settings (or .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord-notifications": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/home/skitz0/Documents/claude-cord/mcp-discord-notify/main.py"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your_bot_token",
        "DISCORD_GUILD_ID": "your_guild_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use the real path to main.py and set the env vars (or rely on your shell env).

Tools

Questions (two-way)

• yes_no: Two buttons (Yes / No).

• multiple_choice: Buttons per option; pass options as JSON array string, e.g. ["A","B","C"].

• extended: "Reply" button opens a modal for long-form text.

Set wait_timeout_seconds (default 300); the tool returns the first response or timeout.

New project channels

Use create_channel with register_key so agents can target the channel by name. See the project skill: .cursor/skills/discord-notifications/SKILL.md.
