Discord

Lets you message Claude Code from Discord.

Why use Discord?

Same idea as the Telegram bridge, on Discord instead. You create a bot in Discord's developer portal, invite it to a server you are already a member of, and it forwards what you send through to your Claude Code session, replying and reacting in the channel. One setting catches people out: the bot needs Message Content Intent switched on, or every message reaches it with the text stripped out and nothing appears to work.

When should you use Discord?

Teams already living in Discord, and anyone who would rather reach their assistant from a chat window than a terminal. Discord will not let you message a bot unless you share a server with it, so there is a server step even for private use.

How do you install and use Discord?

  1. Create an application and bot in Discord's developer portal, and switch on Message Content Intent.
  2. Reset the token to generate one, copy it, then invite the bot to a server you are in.
  3. Install the plugin and configure it with that token. It needs Bun, a JavaScript runtime, installed first.
Paste into the Terminal app claude plugin install discord@claude-plugins-official
