About mcp-discord
barryyip0625/mcp-discord
Implement Discord MCP server enabling AI assistants to interact with the Discord platform.
This project helps Discord server administrators integrate AI assistants directly into their communities. It enables AI bots to perform a wide range of administrative tasks, like sending messages, managing roles, creating channels, and handling forum posts. The administrator sets up the AI with the necessary permissions, and the AI can then interact with the server as if it were a human moderator or community manager.
