[See setup guidance ↓](#setup)[Original source ↗](https://docs.discord.com/developers/change-log) SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-10-13 Evidence 2 linked sources Publisher Discord Licence Not established [Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓](#review) “This Model Context Protocol server provides search and retrieval tools for the Documentation - Discord site.” [Discord · upstream description ↗](https://docs.discord.com/mcp) Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - Discord publishes it on its own documentation domain and announced it in the developer change log. Every Discord server found in discovery that can act on a guild was a community project built on the bot API. - The endpoint was verified live with an initialize handshake, so the server's identity, capabilities and read-only scope come from the server rather than a directory listing. ### A good fit for - Answering Discord platform questions — slash commands, gateway intents, components, rate limits — from current official documentation. - Agents building Discord bots that need grounded citations instead of remembered API details. ### Weigh up before choosing - Search and retrieval over public documentation content, plus submit_feedback, which sends a page path and free-text feedback to Discord’s docs team. It has no access to Discord servers, messages or accounts. - The server's tool surface is small and documentation-focused; it is not an API bridge. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - Live initialize handshake against https://docs.discord.com/mcp on the review date: HTTP 405 on GET and a JSON-RPC response on POST identifying serverInfo name Documentation - Discord, version 1.0.0, with tools and resources capabilities. - Discord developer change log: docs now work with AI development tools via Copy-as-Markdown, an LLMs.txt file, and an MCP server available at https://docs.discord.com/mcp. - Server instructions returned in the handshake: the server provides search and retrieval tools for the Documentation - Discord site and answers from public site content. - GET https://docs.discord.com/mcp on 2026-10-13: a JSON server descriptor with instructions, tools and resources. ### Our findings - The endpoint requires no authentication for the initialize handshake, consistent with a public documentation search surface. - Discord publishes no official MCP server for guild operations; community Discord servers were screened out as unofficial. - The server descriptor read on 2026-10-13 lists three tools, search_documentation_discord, query_docs_filesystem_documentation_discord and submit_feedback, and one resource, mintlify://skills/discord. - Correction, 2026-10-13: the descriptor’s instructions say the server is read-only apart from submit_feedback. The earlier record called it read-only without that exception, and its cost line said free, which no cited page states. - query_docs_filesystem_documentation_discord runs read-only shell-like commands over a virtual filesystem of documentation pages. Its description states nothing runs on the user’s computer or the server host. - Correction, 2026-10-13: neither cited page prints a JSON client block, so the earlier configExample, which no source printed, was removed. The install steps carry the URL. ### Not established by this review - No tool call beyond the initialize handshake was executed; search result quality was not measured. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Connect a server deliberately. [Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://docs.discord.com/developers/change-log) - Add https://docs.discord.com/mcp as a remote MCP server in the client. - No authentication step is required; the server serves public documentation content. ### Before you start - An MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers. ### Compatibility Any MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers. · No authentication or Discord account is required. ### Transports Streamable HTTP ### Public, no authentication - Read-only search and retrieval over the public Discord developer documentation site, except submit_feedback, which sends feedback to the docs team. - No access to Discord servers, messages, bots or user accounts. ### Cost model No account or key is needed for the public endpoint. No pricing is stated on the cited pages. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
