Control your Discord server using AI — **44 tools**, no cloning required. Works with **any MCP-compatible app**: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue.dev, Zed, Claude Code, and more.
> **What is MCP?** Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI apps talk to external tools. This project is one of those tools — it gives any AI assistant the power to manage your Discord server.
Install in one line
That's it — no clone, no npm install. Just add it to your AI app's MCP config (see Quick Start below).

What Can It Do?
Once connected, your AI assistant can:
- **Channels** — create, delete, rename, move channels and categories
- **Messages** — read, send, edit, delete, search messages, send DMs, add/remove reactions
- **Forum Channels** — list forums, create/read/reply/delete forum posts
- **Webhooks** — create, send via, edit, and delete webhooks
- **Members** — list members, view profiles, check roles
- **Roles** — list, create, edit, delete, assign, and remove roles
- **Moderation** — kick, ban, unban, timeout members, set nicknames
- **Threads** — create, list, archive, unarchive, join, and delete threads
- **Server** — list all servers the bot is in, view channel layouts
It also runs as a **standalone Discord bot** with /ping, /info, and /serverinfo slash commands.

Step 3: Add to Your AI App
