git clone https://github.com/SaseQ/discord-mcp

NOTE: Maven installation is required to use the mvn command. Full instructions can be found here.

cd discord-mcp
mvn clean package # The jar file will be available in the /target directory

Many code editors and other AI clients use a configuration file to manage MCP servers.

The Discord MPC server can be configured by adding the following to your configuration file.

NOTE: You will need to create a Discord Bot token to use this server. Instructions on how to create a Discord Bot token can be found here.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord-mcp": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "/absolute/path/to/discord-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_TOKEN": "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
        "DISCORD_GUILD_ID": "OPTIONAL_DEFAULT_SERVER_ID"
      }
    }
  }
}

The DISCORD_GUILD_ID environment variable is optional. When provided, it sets a default Discord server ID so any tool that accepts a guildId parameter can omit it.

Use Discord MCP remotely via GitMCP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://gitmcp.io/SaseQ/discord-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_TOKEN": "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
        "DISCORD_GUILD_ID": "OPTIONAL_DEFAULT_SERVER_ID"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set DISCORD_GUILD_ID here as well if you want to automatically target a specific server. More info and different configs here
