About Discord MCP

The Discord MCP server (community-built, ~218 stars) gives AI agents the ability to read channel messages, send messages and embeds, manage server channels, handle reactions, and monitor Discord server activity. The leading implementation by SaseQ reached v1.0.0 in March 2026 with 65 tools in Java, while a TypeScript alternative (barryyip0625/mcp-discord) offers 42 tools for Node.js environments. No official Discord MCP exists, but these community versions are production-ready. For workplace chat, the Slack MCP setup offers similar read and post tools.

Discord MCP is a Communication MCP server designed for support leads, sales, founders, and operators. It enables letting AI assistants triage, summarise, and act on messages by exposing inbox, channel, and message-send operations as MCP tools. Key capabilities include inbox and channel search, thread summarisation, draft and send-with-confirmation flows, and structured tool calls that work cleanly inside an LLM context. It integrates with Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and Telegram, and is best suited for support leads, sales, founders, and operators who need inbox triage and daily summaries.
