Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Discord

Ask your AI what was said in a channel, to post an announcement, or to give a member a role on your Discord server. It works through your own bot, so it can read messages, threads and pinned posts, create and edit channels, and look up members and roles. Server admin tasks get done from a chat.

Connect Discord free

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Summarize the last 50 messages in #support.”
The AI finds the channel ID, reads the recent messages and summarizes them for you.
“Post the release notes in #announcements.”
It sends the message as your bot in that channel. Members see it immediately.
“Give Maria the Moderator role.”
It searches members by name, looks up the role ID and adds the role to her.

What your AI can do

Messages and threads

Read recent and pinned messages, post, edit, pin and delete bot messages, react with emoji, and start threads from a message.

Channels and servers

List servers and channels, create channels and categories, change names and topics, and create invite links.

Members and roles

Look up and search members, list roles, give or remove roles, change nicknames and time members out.

“Create a text channel called event-planning under the Community category.”
It finds the category and creates the text channel inside it, with a topic if you give one.
“Which threads are active on the server right now?”
It lists all active threads the bot can see, with the channels they belong to.
“Make an invite link for #welcome that expires in 24 hours.”
It creates an invite for the channel with a max age of 86,400 seconds. Anyone with the link can join the server.

Questions

What can the AI do in Discord?

The AI acts as your bot. It can read servers, channels, threads, messages, pinned messages, members, roles and users. It can send, edit, pin and delete messages, add reactions, open direct messages, create channels, threads and invites, update channels, and give, remove or change members' roles, nicknames and timeouts.

Does the AI see my Discord credentials?

No. Your Discord credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Posting messages, deleting messages, creating invites and changing roles can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Discord account.

Why does it use a bot instead of my own account?

PipMCP connects with a bot token from an application you create in the Discord Developer Portal. The bot only sees the servers you invite it to, and only with the permissions you give it in the URL Generator. Listing members also needs the bot's Server Members intent.
