Overview
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Discord API (JDA) that enables seamless integration of a Discord bot with MCP-compatible applications like Claude Desktop. It allows AI assistants to interact with Discord by managing channels, sending messages, and retrieving server information, enabling automation and workflows across MCP-enabled tools. The server can be run via Docker (recommended) or built from source with Maven, and supports configuration through environment variables such as DISCORD_TOKEN and DISCORD_GUILD_ID. DISCORD_TOKEN is required to authenticate the bot, while DISCORD_GUILD_ID is optional and sets a default server for tools that accept a guildId. The MCP server exposes a comprehensive set of tools across server information, private messaging, channel and category management, and webhooks, enabling programmatic control of Discord from MCP clients. Installation paths illustrated in the README include Docker, Smithery, Cursor, and Claude Code, with additional guidance for manual installation. This design aims to empower MCP-enabled AI workflows and automate interactions with Discord across compatible applications.
