What io.github.jaimenbell/discord-mcp does

An MCP server over the real Discord REST API -- so a Claude agent calls list_channels(guild_id="...") instead of hand-rolling an authenticated httpx request. Built to the github-mcp/bus-mcp standard in this portfolio (own pyproject, fastmcp server, typed errors, real test suite, honest README) -- fifth flagship, first over Discord.

README

discord-mcp

An MCP server over the real Discord REST API -- so a Claude agent calls list_channels(guild_id="...") instead of hand-rolling an authenticated httpx request. Built to the github-mcp/bus-mcp standard in this portfolio (own pyproject, fastmcp server, typed errors, real test suite, honest README) -- fifth flagship, first over Discord.

5 read-only tools, always on + 7 write tools, gated OFF by default behind DISCORD_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE=1 -- see "Write tools" below.

Quickstart (60 seconds)

python -m venv .venv
.venv/Scripts/python.exe -m pip install -e ".[test]"

Add to your Claude Desktop/Code MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/discord-mcp/run_server.py"],
      "env": { "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your-bot-token-here" }
    }
  }
}

Without DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN set, every tool call still returns a clean structured error (Discord's own 401) instead of crashing -- see "Typed errors" below. Write tools also need DISCORD_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE=1 in the same env block, or they refuse locally with policy_refusal -- see "Write tools" below.

What this is / is not

This is a reference portfolio implementation demonstrating an MCP server over a real external SaaS API (Discord) -- it is NOT an official Discord MCP server, and it is not affiliated with Discord Inc. It started from an earlier, separate sibling project's HttpDiscordClient, a stdlib-urllib Discord transport built and verified against a real live guild for that project's own server-provisioning tooling. This repo hand-adapts that client's request-building, header construction (including its deliberately descriptive User-Agent -- see below), and error handling onto httpx (matching this fleet's other MCP servers) as its own standalone client with no dependency on that sibling project. discord-mcp does not import from or depend on that other package at all.

Started as 5 read-only tools with no write capability at all; now ships a 7-tool write group, off by default, mirroring the *_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE-style gate already shipped in github-mcp/bus-mcp/desktop-mcp in this same portfolio -- see "Write tools" below.

Tools

Read (always on, no gate)

Tool	Discord endpoint	Purpose
`list_channels`	`GET /guilds/{guild_id}/channels`	All channels (every type) in a guild
`list_roles`	`GET /guilds/{guild_id}/roles`	All roles in a guild
`list_categories`	`GET /guilds/{guild_id}/channels` (filtered)	Category channels only (Discord type 4) -- Discord has no dedicated categories-only endpoint, so this filters the same channels payload client-side
`get_channel_permission_overwrites`	`GET /channels/{channel_id}` (`permission_overwrites` field)	Role/member allow+deny bitfields set on one channel
`get_member_roles`	`GET /guilds/{guild_id}/members/{member_id}` (`roles` field)	Role ids currently assigned to one guild member

Write (gated behind `DISCORD_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE=1`, default OFF)

Tool	Discord endpoint	Purpose
`create_channel`	`POST /guilds/{guild_id}/channels`	Create a text/voice/category channel
`edit_channel`	`PATCH /channels/{channel_id}`	Rename/re-topic/re-parent/reorder an existing channel
`create_role`	`POST /guilds/{guild_id}/roles`	Create a role
`edit_role`	`PATCH /guilds/{guild_id}/roles/{role_id}`	Edit an existing role
`edit_guild`	`PATCH /guilds/{guild_id}`	Update guild-level identity (name/icon/banner/description)
`delete_channel`	`DELETE /channels/{channel_id}`	Destructive. Delete a cha
