8 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 43-tool surface covers messages, channels, forums, roles, webhooks.
- MIT licence.
- Two transports: stdio (default) and HTTP via Docker on port 3000.
- Forum thread support including tags and archive state.
- Webhook lifecycle (create, edit, send, delete).
- Snowflake ID and ISO 8601 date support on discord_read_messages filters.
- 80 GitHub stars; adoption is early.
- 2 commits on main in the last 30 days, lower cadence than the rest of this batch.
- Single-maintainer governance.
- Bot account required; user-account Discord automation lives elsewhere.
DISCORD_TOKEN is a Discord bot token with the scopes the operator granted in the Developer Portal. Scope to the minimum permissions required for the agent (e.g. read-only message history with member management excluded). Audit bot permissions regularly; Discord shows the bot effective scope per-server.
Teams running Discord servers for community or operations who want agents to triage, search, and respond inside Discord; workflows that include Discord forum or webhook management; operators who want a bot-account integration (distinct from user-account MCPs).

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
