get_serversLABSCO SUMMARY
Discord read and write without registering a bot.
It drives the web client as you, which is what makes it work in servers where you could never install a bot — communities you joined rather than ones you run. Reading a day's discussion across your servers and summarizing it is the shape it fits.
What it is
A Discord server that works through the web client rather than the Discord API. It signs in with your account credentials in a Playwright browser, so it reaches any server you can already see as a user — no bot, no bot permissions, no API token.
What you get
- The Discord servers your account has access to
- The channels inside a given server
- Recent messages, newest first, with an optional hours-back window
- Messages sent to a channel, split automatically when they run long
Requirements
Python 3.10+ with the uv package manager, and a Discord account whose email and password go into DISCORD_EMAIL and DISCORD_PASSWORD. Playwright's browser is installed once with uv run playwright install, and DISCORD_HEADLESS controls whether that browser is visible.
Setup effort
One command plus credentials — claude mcp add discord-mcp -s user -e DISCORD_EMAIL=<YOUR_DISCORD_EMAIL> -e DISCORD_PASSWORD=<YOUR_DISCORD_PASSWORD> -e DISCORD_HEADLESS=true -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/elyxlz/discord-mcp.git discord-mcp
USE CASES
01
Catching up on a community you follow
List your servers, pick the channel, and pull the last stretch of messages using the hours-back window.
02
Answering in a channel without leaving your editor
Post the reply from the conversation where you drafted it; long messages are split automatically to fit.
03
Finding the right channel in a busy server
List a server's channels by ID rather than scrolling the sidebar.
04
Producing a digest across several servers
Walk the server list and read recent messages from each, so one request covers the whole morning's catch-up.
