## Prerequisites
- Node.js (v18.0.0 or higher)

- Server Members Intent enabled
- Presence Intent enabled
- Permissions required in your Discord server:
#### Easiest Setup
- Administrator (Recommended for quick setup and full functionality)
#### Or, select only the required permissions:
- Send Messages
- Create Public Threads
- Send Messages in Threads
- Manage Messages
- Manage Threads
- Manage Channels
- Manage Webhooks
- Manage Roles
- Add Reactions
- View Channel
- 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:
```bash
npx mcp-discord --config ${DISCORD_TOKEN}
```
For more details, you can check out the [NPM Package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-discord).
### Installing via Smithery
To install mcp-discord automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@barryyip0625/mcp-discord)
### 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](https://hub.docker.com/r/barryy625/mcp-discord)
Docker uses the streamable HTTP server by default via `build/app.js`.
```bash
# Pull the latest image
docker pull barryy625/mcp-discord:latest
# Run HTTP server on port 8080
docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 8080:8080 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest
# Override the listening port if needed
docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 3000:3000 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --transport http --port 3000
```
**Available Tags:**
- `latest` - Latest stable version from main branch
- `v1.3.8`, etc. - Specific version releases
### Manual Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/barryyip0625/mcp-discord.git
cd mcp-discord
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Compile TypeScript
npm run build
```
## Configuration
A Discord bot token is required for proper operation. The server supports two transport methods: stdio and streamable HTTP.
### Transport Methods
1. **stdio** (Default)
- Traditional stdio transport for basic usage
- Suitable for simple integrations
2. **streamable HTTP**
- HTTP-based transport for more advanced scenarios
- Supports stateless operation
- Configurable port number
### Configuration Options
You can provide configuration in two ways:
1. Environment variables:
```bash
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
```
2. Using command line arguments:
```bash
# For stdio transport (default)
node build/index.js --config "your_discord_bot_token"
# For streamable HTTP transport
node build/app.js --transport http --port 3000 --config "your_discord_bot_token"
```
## Usage with Claude/Cursor
### 1. Use Stdio Transport with Claude/Cursor
Use `build/index.js` when your MCP client expects a command-based stdio server.
#### Claude Desktop / Claude Code
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"discord": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"path/to/mcp-discord/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"DISCORD_TOKEN": "your_discord_bot_token"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Cursor
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"discord": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"path/to/mcp-discord/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"DISCORD_TOKEN": "your_discord_bot_token"
}
}
}
}
```
This is the recommended setup for local command-based MCP clients.
### 2. Self-Host the Streamable HTTP Server
Use `build/app.js` when you want to run mcp-discord as an HTTP MCP server.
#### Run with Node.js
```bash
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token node build/app.js --transport http --port 3000
```
On Windows PowerShell:
```powershell
$env:DISCORD_TOKEN="your_discord_bot_token"
node build/app.js --transport http --port 3000
```
#### Run with Docker
```bash
docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 3000:3000 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --transport http --port 3000
```
Once started, the MCP HTTP endpoint is:
```text
http://localhost:3000/mcp
```
### 3. Connect to a Hosted HTTP MCP Server
If you already host mcp-discord elsewhere, point your MCP client at the server's `/mcp` endpoint instead of launching `build/app.js` as a command.
Example endpoint:
```text
https://your-server.example.com/mcp
```
Important notes:
- `build/app.js` starts an HTTP server. It does not speak stdio.
- `build/index.js` is the correct entrypoint for command-based stdio MCP clients.
- For hosted HTTP usage, configure your MCP client to connect to the HTTP endpoint URL provided by your deployment.
- The exact HTTP-client configuration format depends on the MCP client you use.
