- 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.
