Add your Discord bot to your server
- To add your Discord bot to your server, use one of the following invite links (replace INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE with your bot's client ID):
  - Administrator (full access): https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=8
  - Custom permissions (minimum required): https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=52076489808

Note:
According to Discord's security model, a bot can only access information from servers it has been explicitly added to.
If you want to use this MCP server to access a specific Discord server, you must add the bot to that server first.
Use the invite link below to add the bot to your target server.

Installation

Installing via NPM

You can use it with the following command:

npx mcp-discord --config ${DISCORD_TOKEN}

For more details, you can check out the NPM Package.

Installing via Smithery

To install mcp-discord automatically via Smithery

Installing via Docker

You can run mcp-discord using Docker. The Docker images are automatically built and published to Docker Hub.

Docker Hub Repository: barryy625/mcp-discord

Docker container uses stdio by default.

# Pull the latest image
docker pull barryy625/mcp-discord:latest

# Run with environment variable
docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token barryy625/mcp-discord:latest

# Or run with command line config
docker run barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --config "your_discord_bot_token"

Alternatively, override the --transport and --port flags to run http on a port of your choosing. In this case, also map the ports.

# Pull the latest image
docker pull barryy625/mcp-discord:latest

# Run with environment variable
docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 8080:8080 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --transport http --port 8081

# Or run with command line config
docker run -p 8080:8080 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --config "your_discord_bot_token" --transport http --port 8081

Available Tags:

latest - Latest stable version from main branch
v1.3.3, etc. - Specific version releases

Manual Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/barryyip0625/mcp-discord.git
cd mcp-discord

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Compile TypeScript

Configuration

A Discord bot token is required for proper operation. The server supports two transport methods: stdio and streamable HTTP.

Transport Methods

stdio (Default)
- Traditional stdio transport for basic usage
- Suitable for simple integrations
streamable HTTP
- HTTP-based transport for more advanced scenarios
- Supports stateless operation
- Configurable port number

Configuration Options

You can provide configuration in two ways:

Environment variables:
```
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
```

Using command line arguments:


# For stdio transport (default)
node build/index.js --config "your_discord_bot_token"

For streamable HTTP transport

node build/index.js --transport http --port 3000 --config "your_discord_bot_token"
