📚 Documentation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16.0.0 or higher)
• npm (v7.0.0 or higher)
• A Discord bot with appropriate permissions
  • Bot token (obtainable from the Discord Developer Portal)
  • Message Content Intent enabled
  • Server Members Intent enabled
  • Presence Intent enabled

  • Send Messages
  • Create Public Threads
  • Send Messages in Threads
  • Manage Threads

Configuration

A Discord bot token is required for proper operation. You can provide it in two ways:

1. Environment variables:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
DEFAULT_SERVER_ID=your_default_server_id  # Optional
DEFAULT_CHANNEL_ID=your_default_channel_id  # Optional

2. Using the --config parameter when launching:

node path/to/mcp-discord/build/index.js --config "{\"DISCORD_TOKEN\":\"your_discord_bot_token\"}"

Enhanced Startup Script

The project includes an enhanced startup script (start-discord.js) that provides better debugging and error handling:

• Loads environment variables from the .env file
• Sets default server and channel IDs if not provided
• Redirects console.log to stderr to avoid JSON parsing issues in Claude Desktop
• Tests the Discord connection directly before starting the MCP server
• Provides detailed error information if anything goes wrong

To use this script:

node start-discord.js
