MCP.Pizza Chef: v-3

Two things ship here and nothing more: reading the most recent messages in a channel, and posting a message to one. Editing, reactions, private messages, threads, and file uploads are all out of reach. You need a Discord bot of your own, invited to a server you administer with permission to view and send messages, and you have to build the project yourself since it was never published for easy install. The code has sat untouched since January 2025.

README

Discord MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with Discord channels, allowing them to send and read messages through Discord's API. Using this server, LLMs like Claude can directly interact with Discord channels while maintaining user control and security.

Features

  • Send messages to Discord channels
  • Read recent messages from channels
  • Automatic server and channel discovery
  • Support for both channel names and IDs
  • Proper error handling and validation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 16.x or higher
  • A Discord bot token
  • The bot must be invited to your server with proper permissions:
    • Read Messages/View Channels
    • Send Messages
    • Read Message History

Setup

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/discordmcp.git
cd discordmcp
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Create a .env file in the root directory with your Discord bot token:
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token_here
  1. Build the server:
npm run build

Usage with Claude for Desktop

  1. Open your Claude for Desktop configuration file:

    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  2. Add the Discord MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "args": ["path/to/discordmcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {

      }
    }
  }
}

discordmcp FAQ

How much can it actually do?
Two things. It reads up to a hundred recent messages from a channel, and it sends a message to a channel. The feature list makes it sound broader, but that is the whole of it.
Can I use this to keep up with my community while I work?
Yes. Ask for the last few dozen messages in a channel and you get a summary without switching apps, provided your bot can see that channel.
Does it need a key?
Yes. You create a bot in Discord's own developer settings, copy its token, and invite the bot to your server. Only channels the bot can see are reachable.
How hard is it to set up?
Genuinely hard for a non-developer. There is no published package, so you download the project, install its parts, compile it, and then point your app at the compiled file.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop is the documented one, and any other app that accepts a standard MCP settings block will work the same way.
Will it send messages behind my back?
No. Sending is a deliberate step and your app asks you to approve it first, so nothing is posted without you seeing it.
Is it still being maintained?
The last code change was January 2025, so it has been quiet for well over a year. It still works, but do not expect new features.
