Discord + Claude Code integration
Connect Discord to Claude Code
ConnectChats brings your Discord chats into Claude Code. Ask Claude Code 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 Code can do with your Discord
ConnectChats gives Claude Code a small set of tools. Claude Code 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 Code 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 Code searches your Discord history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Claude Code 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 Code
- In your terminal, run: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user connectchats https://api.connectchats.com/mcp
- Start Claude Code and type /mcp.
- Select connectchats and choose to authenticate. Your browser opens the ConnectChats sign-in page. Sign in with your passkey.
- Ask Claude Code about your messages, for example to summarize a group chat.
-
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 Code can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Claude Code never sees the rest.
-
Ask Claude Code about your Discord
Open a new conversation in Claude Code and ask about your chats. Claude Code calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Discord and Claude Code 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 Code
Claude Code adds remote MCP servers with one command. Add ConnectChats, sign in once with your passkey, and you can ask Claude Code about your chats without leaving the terminal. The --scope user option makes ConnectChats available in every project. Leave it out to add it to the current project only. Claude Code needs a Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan, or an Anthropic Console account. Tokens refresh on their own. To sign out, open /mcp and choose Clear authentication, or run claude mcp logout connectchats. Sign in once in an interactive session. Scripts and headless runs reuse the saved sign-in but cannot complete it.
Your Discord stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Claude Code only sees the Discord chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Claude Code 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 Code read my Discord messages?
Yes, once you link Discord in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Claude Code. Claude Code reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Claude Code send Discord messages for me?
Claude Code 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 Code 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 Code 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.
Can I share the setup with my team through .mcp.json?
Yes, with --scope project the server goes into .mcp.json in the repository. Each person still signs in with their own passkey and sees only their own chats.
Does Claude Code see my chats in every session?
Only when it calls a ConnectChats tool, which it does when you ask about your messages. It reads only the chats you share.
