Discord MCP Server

A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to securely interact with Discord servers via standardized APIs. Built on Apify for scalability, reliability, and automation.

What It Does

This Actor exposes Discord capabilities as MCP tools, allowing AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, etc.) to read messages, send replies, manage roles, and perform moderation—without building or hosting custom bot infrastructure.

Key Features

• Discord ↔ AI Bridge: MCP-compliant server for AI-driven Discord automation
• Message Access: Read recent messages, maintain short-term context, send replies
• Role & Member Management: List members/roles, add or remove roles
• Moderation Tools: Optional content filtering, spam limits, auto-deletion
• Security & Permissions: Bot-token auth with channel-level restrictions
• Scalable on Apify: Reliable runs, logging, retries, and API access
