How to Connect Discord to Claude with MCP (Step by Step)

What you are connecting

Claude cannot touch your Discord server by itself. MCP (the Model Context Protocol, explained in the MCP glossary entry) is the standard that lets an assistant call outside tools. Noxyr runs an MCP server, so Claude can use the same actions you use on the Noxyr dashboard, as you.

The address to give Claude is:

https://noxyrbot.com/mcp/api

It uses Streamable HTTP and signs you in with Discord (OAuth). It is free, like the rest of Noxyr. The product page is Noxyr MCP, and it always shows the current URL.

Connect Claude (web or desktop)

1. Open the connectors settings. In Claude on the web or desktop app, find Connectors in the settings.
2. Add a custom connector. Choose Add custom connector and name it Noxyr.
3. Paste the URL. Use the address above and confirm.
4. Log in with Discord. A Noxyr page opens. Log in, pick the servers Claude may manage, and press Allow.
5. Turn it on in a chat. Claude lets you switch a connector on per conversation, from the plus menu in the message box.

Anthropic renames menus now and then. Its help page says custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, with Free limited to one, and that on Team and Enterprise only an owner adds them. If a label differs from the list above, look for the same custom connector option.

Connect Claude Code

If you use Claude Code in a terminal, run this once:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user noxyr https://noxyrbot.com/mcp/api

The --scope user flag makes Noxyr available in every project. Then type /mcp inside Claude Code, pick noxyr and choose Authenticate. The same Discord login opens in your browser. You can also put the server in a .mcp.json file in a project folder.

Things to ask first

Start with a read-only question so you can see it work:

• Which of my servers is Noxyr in, and which ones still need it?
• How many tickets did we close this week, and what is our average rating?

Then try a change: make a ticket panel called Support with Billing and Bug report buttons in a support channel. Claude reads your channels and roles, plans the call and tells you what it did. For a fuller look at what an agent can handle, read how an AI agent manages a Discord server.

What Claude cannot do

Noxyr puts limits around the agent, and they hold no matter which AI you use:

• Deletes need you. Deleting, closing tickets, ending giveaways and removing custom commands show a Noxyr approval page first. Only you can press Approve, in your own browser.
• Your servers only. Only servers you own or have Administrator in, checked live with Discord on every action, and only the ones you allowed when connecting.
• Same checks as the dashboard. The agent goes through the dashboard's own rules and activity log. API keys stay off limits.
• Rate limit. 120 requests a minute.

If it does not connect

The login page never opens

Authenticate again from the connector (or /mcp in Claude Code). The login is only requested the first time you use it.

Claude says it cannot see a server

You may not have ticked that server on the Allow page, or you are not an owner or Administrator there. Reconnect and pick it.

You want to cut it off

Open the Connected apps page in Noxyr and disconnect the app in one click.

Using it day to day

Once connected, treat Claude like a helper with the dashboard open. Name the server if you manage more than one, name channels and roles exactly, and ask for one task at a time. Claude can look up IDs itself by reading your server, so you never need to copy IDs by hand.

Good everyday requests are: post the catalog again after a price change, check how many members are verified, start a giveaway with a deadline, and turn on a security setting you forgot. For anything that deletes or closes, expect the approval page and press Approve yourself.

Several servers

The connector can see every server you allowed. Say which one you mean in each request, for example "in my main server". If a name is ambiguous, Claude should ask; if it does not, stop and clarify before approving anything.
