# Discord MCP

Connect a Discord bot to an AI client so an agent can manage server settings and read conversations. Requires your own bot and Node.js 22.12 or later.

## What it does

The server gives an agent tools for Discord messages, channels, roles, moderation, and server setup. It includes 222 typed tools. To build a server from a description, the agent can prepare a plan for review, carry out the approved work, resume an interrupted run, and check the result against Discord.

You need Node.js 22.12 or later and a bot installed in a server you control. After setup, apply the generated configuration to your AI client yourself. Guided `setup` blocks changes by default, while direct `serve` permits ordinary writes. That difference matters before you connect a bot with access to a server.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `DISCORD_TOKEN`, `DISCORD_EXPECTED_BOT_ID`, `ALLOWED_GUILDS` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
