Connect Claude to Discord

List every channel in the server the bot can see, with each one's id, name, type, topic, category and position. This is the first call to make: channel ids are what every message operation takes, and Discord's own UI never shows them without Developer Mode. Threads are not included here - Discord returns them from a separate active-threads endpoint this connector does not expose.

Fetch one channel or thread by id: its name, type, topic, slow-mode setting, parent category and, for a thread, its archive state and message count. Use it to confirm what a channel id actually points at before posting into it.

Read recent messages from a channel or thread, newest first. Pass `before` with a message id to page backwards through history, `after` to read forward from a point, or `around` to read either side of one message; the three are mutually exclusive and Discord ignores all but one. The bot needs both View Channel and Read Message History on the channel - without the second, this returns an empty list rather than an error.

Fetch one message in full by id: its content, author, timestamps, attachments, embeds, reactions and, if it is a reply, the message it refers to. Use it after list_messages when you need everything about a single message.

List the server's members, with each one's user record, nickname, roles and join date, ordered by user id. IMPORTANT: this endpoint requires the SERVER MEMBERS privileged intent to be enabled for the application in the Discord developer portal. Without it Discord answers 403, and the message reads like the bot's role is missing a permission rather than like a switch in a different console. Page with `after`, passing the highest user id from the previous response.

Fetch one user's public account record by id: username, global display name, discriminator, avatar and whether the account is a bot. This is the global user, not the server member - nickname and roles come from list_guild_members. Pass the bot's own id to confirm which application this token belongs to.

List the server's roles with their ids, names, colours, permission bitfields and position. Use it to find the role ids that send_message takes as mention_role_ids, and to read what a member's role list from list_guild_members actually means.

Post a message into a channel or thread. Classified destructive because every human watching that channel sees it immediately and there is no taking it back - a write grant does not reach this. Mentions are inert by default: an @everyone or @user written in `content` renders as text and notifies nobody unless mention_parse, mention_user_ids or mention_role_ids says otherwise. Set reply_to_message_id to post it as a reply to an existing message.

Rewrite a message this bot posted. Discord does not allow a bot to edit anyone else's message, so this only ever works on its own. Classified destructive for the same reason send_message is: the new text replaces what people have already read, the old text is gone, and an edit is visible in the channel. Fields left out are unchanged; pass content to replace the text.

Delete a message. There is no undo and no API that returns a deleted message, so this is destructive in the plainest sense. Deleting the bot's own message needs no extra permission; deleting anyone else's needs Manage Messages on the channel. Discord answers 204 with no body.
