Get started

1. Install

Send this to an agent with terminal access, such as Codex or Claude Code:

text

Install discord-rpc-mcp and register it with my current MCP client using this guide:
https://github.com/ver-1000000/discord-rpc-mcp/blob/main/docs/installation.md

For manual setup or Claude Desktop, see the installation guide.

2. Connect Discord

Complete the Discord settings below. Labels use the English interface. You can reuse an application you have already configured.

Open the Discord Developer Portal and sign in

Select New Application > enter a name such as RPC MCP Bridge in Name > review and accept the terms > Create

In the left menu, select OAuth2 > Redirects > Add Redirect > enter http://127.0.0.1:8765/callback > Save Changes

On the same OAuth2 page, select Client ID > Copy, then paste it after DISCORD_CLIENT_ID= in the local .env file indicated by your agent

Copy Client Secret, paste it after DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET= in the same file, and save

For a new application without an available secret, use Reset Secret and complete any identity verification requested
Resetting an existing application's secret also requires updating any other integrations using it

Start the Discord desktop app on your computer and tell your agent that the configuration is saved and it can continue connecting

When Discord shows an authorization prompt, check the application name and requested permissions, then approve

Enter the secret in the local .env file, not in chat. For manual login commands, see the installation guide.

Notes

Only reading is enabled by default. To change volume, switch channels or perform other actions, set DISCORD_ALLOW_CONTROL=1 in .env. See the configuration guide for the required authorization scopes

Messages are limited to what Discord has loaded. Full-history search and normal message sending, editing and deletion are not supported

Reading messages may move the Discord view

Retrieved content may be sent to your AI service
