Connect a Discord bot to your Claude Code with an MCP server.
When the bot receives a message, the MCP server forwards it to Claude and provides tools to reply, react, and edit messages.
Prerequisites
- Bun — the MCP server runs on Bun. Install with
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash.
Quick Setup
Default pairing flow for a single-user DM bot. See ACCESS.md for groups and multi-user setups.
1. Create a Discord application and bot.
Go to the Discord Developer Portal and click New Application. Give it a name.
Navigate to Bot in the sidebar. Give your bot a username.
Scroll down to Privileged Gateway Intents and enable Message Content Intent — without this the bot receives messages with empty content.
2. Generate a bot token.
Still on the Bot page, scroll up to Token and press Reset Token. Copy the token — it's only shown once. Hold onto it for step 5.
3. Invite the bot to a server.
