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 uses the streamable HTTP server by default via `build/app.js`. ```bash # Pull the latest image docker pull barryy625/mcp-discord:latest # Run HTTP server on port 8080 docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 8080:8080 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest # Override the listening port if needed docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 3000:3000 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --transport http --port 3000 ``` **Available Tags:** - `latest` - Latest stable version from main branch - `v1.3.8`, 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/app.js --transport http --port 3000 --config "your_discord_bot_token" ``` ## Usage with Claude/Cursor ### 1. Use Stdio Transport with Claude/Cursor Use `build/index.js` when your MCP client expects a command-based stdio server. #### Claude Desktop / Claude Code ```json { "mcpServers": { "discord": { "command": "node", "args": [ "path/to/mcp-discord/build/index.js" ], "env": { "DISCORD_TOKEN": "your_discord_bot_token" } } } } ``` #### Cursor ```json { "mcpServers": { "discord": { "command": "node", "args": [ "path/to/mcp-discord/build/index.js" ], "env": { "DISCORD_TOKEN": "your_discord_bot_token" } } } } ``` This is the recommended setup for local command-based MCP clients. ### 2. Self-Host the Streamable HTTP Server Use `build/app.js` when you want to run mcp-discord as an HTTP MCP server. #### Run with Node.js ```bash DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token node build/app.js --transport http --port 3000 ``` On Windows PowerShell: ```powershell $env:DISCORD_TOKEN="your_discord_bot_token" node build/app.js --transport http --port 3000 ``` #### Run with Docker ```bash docker run -e DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token -p 3000:3000 barryy625/mcp-discord:latest --transport http --port 3000 ``` Once started, the MCP HTTP endpoint is: ```text http://localhost:3000/mcp ``` ### 3. Connect to a Hosted HTTP MCP Server If you already host mcp-discord elsewhere, point your MCP client at the server's `/mcp` endpoint instead of launching `build/app.js` as a command. Example endpoint: ```text https://your-server.example.com/mcp ``` Important notes: - `build/app.js` starts an HTTP server. It does not speak stdio. - `build/index.js` is the correct entrypoint for command-based stdio MCP clients. - For hosted HTTP usage, configure your MCP client to connect to the HTTP endpoint URL provided by your deployment. - The exact HTTP-client configuration format depends on the MCP client you use. ## Tools Documentation ### Basic Functions - `discord_login`: Login to Discord using the configured token - `discord_list_servers`: List all Discord servers the bot is a member of - `discord_send`: Send a message to a specified channel - `discord_get_server_info`: Get Discord server information ### Channel Management - `discord_create_text_channel`: Create a text channel - `discord_create_forum_channel`: Create a forum channel - `discord_create_voice_channel`: Create a voice channel - `discord_edit_channel`: Edit a channel name, topic, parent category, or position - `discord_delete_channel`: Delete a channel - `discord_create_category`: Create a channel category - `discord_edit_category`: Edit a channel category - `discord_delete_category`: Delete a channel category - `discord_set_channel_permissions`: Set permission overrides for a role or user on a channel/category - `discord_remove_channel_permissions`: Remove permission overrides from a channel/category ### Forum Functions - `discord_get_forum_channels`: Get a list of forum channels - `discord_create_forum_post`: Create a forum post (optionally pinned to the top of the channel) - `discord_get_forum_post`: Get a forum post - `discord_list_forum_threads`: List active and archived threads in a forum channel - `discord_reply_to_forum`: Reply to a forum post - `discord_get_forum_tags`: Get all available tags for a forum channel - `discord_set_forum_tags`: Replace the available tags for a forum channel - `discord_update_forum_post`: Update a forum post's title, tags, archived state, locked state, or pinned state - `discord_delete_forum_post`: Delete a forum post ### Messages and Reactions - `discord_search_messages`: Search messages in a server - `discord_read_messages`: Read channel messages (supports `before`, `after`, `around` params — accepts snowflake IDs or ISO 8601 dates like `"2025-03-01T00:00:00Z"`) - `discord_edit_message`: Edit a bot-authored message - `discord_add_reaction`: Add a reaction to a message - `discord_add_multiple_reactions`: Add multiple reactions to a message - `discord_remove_reaction`: Remove a reaction from a message - `discord_delete_message`: Delete a specific message from a channel - `discord_pin_message`: Pin a message to its channel (max 50 pins per channel) - `discord_unpin_message`: Remove a message from its channel's pinned messages - `discord_list_pinned_messages`: List a channel's pinned messages, newest pin first ### Webhook Management - `discord_create_webhook`: Creates a new webhook for a Discord channel - `discord_send_webhook_message`: Sends a message to a Discord channel using a webhook - `discord_edit_webhook`: Edits an existing webhook for a Discord channel - `discord_delete_webhook`: Deletes an existing webhook for a Discord channel ### Role Management - `discord_list_roles`: List all roles in a server - `discord_create_role`: Create a role with color, hoist, mentionable, and permission options - `discord_edit_role`: Edit an existing role - `discord_delete_role`: Delete a role - `discord_assign_role`: Assign a role to a member - `discord_remove_role`: Remove a role from a member ### Member Management - `discord_list_members`: List members in a server with roles - `discord_get_member`: Get detailed information about a specific member ## Development ```bash # Development mode npm run dev ``` ## License [MIT License](https://github.com/barryyip0625/mcp-discord?tab=MIT-1-ov-file)
