Architecture

Claude Desktop / KADI Agent → kadi-broker → MCP_Discord_Server → Discord REST API → Discord Channel

Components

• Discord REST Client: Uses discord.js for Discord API integration

• Channel Resolution: Converts channel names to IDs automatically

• MCP Server: Exposes send_message and send_reply tools

• Stateless Design: No event listening, pure message sending

MCP_LOG_LEVEL=info

3. Get Discord Bot Token

1. Go to Discord Developer Portal

2. Create a new application

3. Go to "Bot" section

4. Click "Reset Token" and copy the token

5. Invite bot to your server with proper permissions (Send Messages, Read Messages, etc.)

}

Integration with KADI Broker

The MCP server is registered in kadi-broker/config/mcp-upstreams.json:

{
  "id": "discord-server",
  "name": "Discord Message Sender (MCP_Discord_Server)",
  "type": "stdio",
  "prefix": "discord_server",
  "enabled": true,
  "stdio": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["C:\\p4\\Personal\\SD\\MCP_Discord_Server\\dist\\index.js"],
    "env": {
      "DISCORD_TOKEN": "your_token",
      "DISCORD_GUILD_ID": "your_guild_id"
    }
  },
  "networks": ["discord"]
}

Usage Examples

From Agent_TypeScript

const protocol = client.getBrokerProtocol();

const result = await protocol.invokeTool({
  targetAgent: 'discord-server',
  toolName: 'discord_server_send_message',
  toolInput: {
    channel: 'general',
    text: 'Hello from Agent_TypeScript!'
  },
  timeout: 10000
});

From Claude Desktop

When configured in Claude Desktop's MCP settings, you can simply ask:

"Send a message to the Discord channel #general saying 'Hello world!'"

Claude will call the send_message tool automatically.

Discord Bot Permissions

Required bot permissions:

• View Channels

• Send Messages

• Read Message History

Required Gateway Intents:

• Guilds

• Guild Messages

Channel Name Resolution

The server automatically resolves channel names to IDs:

• "general" → "1234567890" (channel ID)

• "#announcements" → "9876543210" (strips # prefix)

• "1234567890" → "1234567890" (already an ID, passed through)

Channel cache is maintained in memory for fast resolution.

Logging

The server logs to console with emoji indicators:

• 🚀 Startup messages

• ✅ Message sent successfully

• ❌ Error messages

• 📤 Awaiting requests

Troubleshooting

"Discord client not ready after timeout"

• Check DISCORD_TOKEN is valid

• Verify bot has been invited to server

• Ensure internet connection is stable

"Channel not found" errors

• Verify bot has access to the channel

• Check channel name spelling

• Verify channel exists in the guild

"Failed to send message" errors

• Check bot has "Send Messages" permission in the channel

• Verify bot is not muted or has role restrictions

• Check message content doesn't violate Discord ToS
