docker build -t discord-mcp .

2. Configure MCP Client

Add the following configuration to your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop or Antigravity).

• Path for Windows (Claude): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

• Path for Antigravity: ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json

• Path for Kiro: - c:\Users\Admin\.kiro\settings\mcp.json (Kiro)

Configuration (config.yaml)

This server uses a config.yaml file for custom settings like Timezone.

1. Create a config.yaml file in your project directory (or use the provided default).

2. Add your settings:

   # Example: Set timezone to South Korea
   timezone: "Asia/Seoul"

3. Mount this file when running via Docker (already configured in mcp_config.json):
