Discord + Cursor integration
Connect Discord to Cursor
ConnectChats brings your Discord chats into Cursor. Ask Cursor 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 Cursor can do with your Discord
ConnectChats gives Cursor a small set of tools. Cursor calls them when you ask about your Discord chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Cursor 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. Cursor searches your Discord history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Cursor 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.

How to connect Discord to Cursor
It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
Add ConnectChats to Cursor
- Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use ConnectChats in every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for one project.
- Add this entry and save: { "mcpServers": { "connectchats": { "url": "https://api.connectchats.com/mcp" } } }
- Open Customize in the sidebar, find connectchats and sign in when Cursor asks. Use your passkey on the ConnectChats page.
- In the agent chat, ask about your messages.
-
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 Cursor can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Cursor never sees the rest.
-
Ask Cursor about your Discord
Open a new conversation in Cursor and ask about your chats. Cursor calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Discord and Cursor 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 Cursor
Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file and supports OAuth sign-in for remote servers. Add ConnectChats once and its agent can look up messages while you work, such as the bug report a teammate sent you on WhatsApp. Cursor signs in with OAuth and renews the token on its own, so you sign in once. You can switch ConnectChats off in Customize without removing it from mcp.json. Cloud Agents keep their own sign-in, separate from the desktop app. Team admins can limit which MCP servers members can use with an allowlist.
Your Discord stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Cursor only sees the Discord chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Cursor 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 Cursor read my Discord messages?
Yes, once you link Discord in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Cursor. Cursor reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Cursor send Discord messages for me?
Cursor 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 Cursor 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 Cursor 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.
Should I put ConnectChats in the project mcp.json?
Usually not. Your chats are personal, so the global ~/.cursor/mcp.json is the better place. If you commit a project file, teammates still sign in with their own passkey and see only their own chats.
Where do I see whether ConnectChats is connected?
Open Customize in the sidebar. Connection problems show in the Output panel under MCP Logs.
