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

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" } } }
