Usage

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop or Claude Code):

Using globally installed package:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "discord-mcpserver",
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your_bot_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using npx (no install required):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mahesvara/discord-mcpserver"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your_bot_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

The server supports loading environment variables from a .env file in the current directory:

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here
TRANSPORT=http
PORT=3000
HOST=localhost

Variable	Description	Default
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN	Your Discord bot token (required)	-
TRANSPORT	Transport mode: stdio or http	stdio
PORT	HTTP server port (when using http transport)	3000
HOST	HTTP server host (use 0.0.0.0 for remote access)	localhost

HTTP Transport

For remote access, run the server with HTTP transport enabled:

Linux/macOS:

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_token TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 HOST=0.0.0.0 discord-mcpserver

Windows (Command Prompt):

set DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_token && set TRANSPORT=http && set PORT=3000 && set HOST=0.0.0.0 && discord-mcpserver

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN="your_token"; $env:TRANSPORT="http"; $env:PORT="3000"; $env:HOST="0.0.0.0"; discord-mcpserver

Or use a .env file (works on all platforms):

discord-mcpserver

Then configure your MCP client to connect via HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://your-server-ip:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
