Discord + Claude integration
Connect Discord to Claude
ConnectChats brings your Discord chats into Claude. Ask Claude to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Claude can do with your Discord
ConnectChats gives Claude a small set of tools. Claude calls them when you ask about your Discord chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Claude reads your unread Discord chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Claude searches your Discord history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Claude writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Discord account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
Add ConnectChats to Claude
- In Claude on the web or desktop, go to Customize, then Connectors.
- Click + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it ConnectChats, paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp as the URL and click Continue.
- Keep the detected sign-in settings, click Add, then connect. Sign in with your passkey and allow access.
- In a chat, click + at the lower left, choose Connectors and make sure ConnectChats is on.
-
Link your Discord account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Discord.
- Sign in by scanning a QR code with the Discord app on your phone, the same way you sign in to Discord on a new computer.
- ConnectChats lists your DMs, group DMs and servers.
- Choose which servers and channels to bring in, since large servers can have hundreds of channels.
-
Pick the chats Claude can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Claude never sees the rest.
-
Ask Claude about your Discord
Open a new conversation in Claude and ask about your chats. Claude calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Discord and Claude work together
ConnectChats links to your own Discord account, so your AI app sees the DMs and server channels you choose. It works as you, so it sees what you see, and nothing is added to the servers you are in.
-
Discord in ConnectChats
Direct messages, group DMs and text channels in your servers are supported, including threads. Voice and video calls are not, because there is no text to read. Text chat inside voice channels is. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Messages your AI app sends go out from your own Discord account, after you approve them.
-
ConnectChats in Claude
Claude supports remote MCP servers as custom connectors. Add ConnectChats once, sign in with your passkey, and switch it on in any conversation where you want Claude to see your chats. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan, including Free, which allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, members cannot add connectors themselves. An owner adds ConnectChats in Organization settings, then each member connects their own account. Add the connector on the web or desktop. It then works in the Claude iPhone and Android apps too. Claude connects from Anthropic's cloud, not from your computer, so nothing needs to stay running on your side.
Your Discord stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Claude only sees the Discord chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Claude prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Discord, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Claude read my Discord messages?
Yes, once you link Discord in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Claude. Claude reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Claude send Discord messages for me?
Claude can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own Discord account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the Discord to Claude integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Claude and link Discord from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link Discord once and use it everywhere.
Can it catch me up on busy Discord servers?
Yes, that is one of the main uses. Pick the channels that matter, and your AI app can summarize what happened while you were away and point out mentions of you.
Do server admins see a bot?
No. ConnectChats signs in as you, not as a bot, so nothing is installed in the server.
Does it work on the free Claude plan?
Yes. Claude's free plan allows one custom connector, which is enough for ConnectChats.
Can I use ConnectChats in the Claude mobile app?
Yes. Add the connector on claude.ai or in the desktop app, and it is available in the iPhone and Android apps on the same account.
Is this the same as using ConnectChats in Claude Code?
It is the same ConnectChats account, but Claude Code is set up separately with one terminal command. Your linked chats and sharing choices carry over.
