What you can do
- Server & Guild Auditing — Perform structural extraction of metadata linked to a Discord Server, fetching member approximations and Snowflake IDs
- Channel Orchestration — Identify explicitly assigned routing text/voice channels and manage parent-category mappings to organize your server logically
- Messaging & Chat — Dispatch automated text payloads with Markdown support and edit pre-existing textual strings to update dynamic information in real-time
- Member Oversight — Enumerate explicitly attached user accounts and iterate through authorized members matching your server namespace
- Content Moderation — Forcibly purge chat payloads out of visible memory and irreversibly delete active channel mappings to manage server security
- Real-time Logs — Pull chronological asynchronous logs from any channel, extracting string contents and nested attachment metadata
- Slowmode Control — Inspect deep properties identifying precise rate-limit configurations and evaluate assigned delays natively

Discord MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Discord to Claude Code via MCP:
create_guild_channel
Default `type=0` maps to standard Text Channels. Provision a radically fast new structural Channel sandbox
create_message
Capable of mapping Markdown `<@user_id>` tags natively forcing push notifications instantly. Dispatch an automated text Payload resolving towards a Channel
delete_channel
Vaporizes all nested historical chat payloads, pinned messages, and file attachments natively dropping active connections entirely returning 404s. Irreversibly delete an entirely active Discord Channel mapping
delete_message
Drops the raw chat out of the Channel history permanently replacing it with visual space on all clients natively. Purge an existing Chat Payload out of the visible memory
edit_message
Ideal for updating dynamic progress bars inside a live Chat context. Mutate pre-existing textual strings tied to a Bot Message
get_channel
Inspect deep properties identifying a precise Discord Channel
get_guild
Fetches explicit Snowflake IDs configuring precisely the total member approximations natively bypassing localized channel scopes. Perform structural extraction of metadata linked to a Discord Server
list_channel_messages
Extracts string contents, nested attachments mapping binary sizes, and embed payloads. Read recent structural Chat payloads targeting a Channel
list_guild_channels
Returns crucial Snowflake Channel IDs prerequisite to performing all downstream messaging actions. Identify explicitly assigned routing text/voice Channels within a Server
list_guild_members
Restricted heavily by `GUILD_MEMBERS` Privileged Intent inside the developer portal securely. Enumerate explicitly attached user accounts active within the Server
