Discord MCP Server

Capable, but hard to hand over unsupervised.

Community-only and bot-token shaped: capable, but you own the security review and the setup. No llms.txt anywhere on discord.com.

What an agent can do here

No first-party MCP server — agents reach Discord through community servers wrapping the bot API, with all the setup and trust cost that implies.

Action depth
Core write

Agents can do the product’s core job — edit the timeline, ship the deploy, update the record.

Hosting
Self-run

You run the server process yourself.

Auth
Complex
Unattended
Needs a human

Interactive OAuth only — it cannot be provisioned without someone clicking through.

Blast radius
High

A wrong call is expensive, public, or irreversible.

Free, but you must register a bot application, enable privileged intents and invite it to each guild.
