> If you want to use this MCP server to access a specific Discord server, you must add the bot to that server first.
> Use the invite link below to add the bot to your target server.
## Installation
### Installing via NPM
You can use it with the following command:
```bash
npx mcp-discord --config ${DISCORD_TOKEN}
```
For more details, you can check out the [NPM Package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-discord).
### Installing via Smithery
To install mcp-discord automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@barryyip0625/mcp-discord)
### Installing via Docker
You can run mcp-discord using Docker. The Docker images are automatically built and published to Docker Hub.
**Docker Hub Repository**: [barryy625/mcp-discord](https://hub.docker.com/r/barryy625/mcp-discord)
Docker container uses `stdio` by default.
```bash
# Pull the latest image
docker pull barryy625/mcp-discord:latest
# Run with environment variable
docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token barryy625/mcp-discord:latest
# Or run with command line config
docker run barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --config "your_discord_bot_token"
```
Alternatively, override the `--transport` and `--port` flags to run `http` on a port of your choosing. In this case, also map the ports.
```bash
# Pull the latest image
docker pull barryy625/mcp-discord:latest
# Run with environment variable
docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 8080:8080 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --transport http --port 8081
# Or run with command line config
docker run -p 8080:8080 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --config "your_discord_bot_token" --transport http --port 8081
```
**Available Tags:**
- `latest` - Latest stable version from main branch
- `v1.3.3`, etc. - Specific version releases
### Manual Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/barryyip0625/mcp-discord.git
cd mcp-discord
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Compile TypeScript
npm run build
```
## Configuration
A Discord bot token is required for proper operation. The server supports two transport methods: stdio and streamable HTTP.
### Transport Methods
1. **stdio** (Default)
- Traditional stdio transport for basic usage
- Suitable for simple integrations
2. **streamable HTTP**
- HTTP-based transport for more advanced scenarios
- Supports stateless operation
- Configurable port number
### Configuration Options
You can provide configuration in two ways:
1. Environment variables:
```bash
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
```
2. Using command line arguments:
```bash
# For stdio transport (default)
node build/index.js --config "your_discord_bot_token"
# For streamable HTTP transport
node build/index.js --transport http --port 3000 --config "your_discord_bot_token"
```
