Discord + OpenClaw integration
Connect Discord to OpenClaw
ConnectChats brings your Discord chats into OpenClaw. Ask OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw can do with your Discord
ConnectChats gives OpenClaw a small set of tools. OpenClaw calls them when you ask about your Discord chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and OpenClaw 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. OpenClaw searches your Discord history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw
It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
Add ConnectChats to OpenClaw
- Add ConnectChats with openclaw mcp add connectchats --url https://api.connectchats.com/mcp --transport streamable-http.
- Set auth to oauth for that server in your OpenClaw config.
- Stop the Gateway, run openclaw mcp login connectchats and sign in with your passkey in the browser.
- Start the Gateway again, and your agent can use your shared chats.
-
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 OpenClaw can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. OpenClaw never sees the rest.
-
Ask OpenClaw about your Discord
Open a new conversation in OpenClaw and ask about your chats. OpenClaw calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Discord and OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw
OpenClaw adds remote MCP servers from its command line or its config file, and ConnectChats works there as one of them. Add it once, sign in with your passkey, and your agent can catch you up on your chats and draft replies you approve. OpenClaw was called Clawdbot, then Moltbot, before taking its current name. OpenClaw runs on your own machine or server, so you control where it lives. ConnectChats itself is hosted, so your chat apps stay linked even when your OpenClaw machine is off. OpenClaw already talks to you through chat apps. ConnectChats is different: it gives the agent read and draft access to your own chats, with approval before anything is sent. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in OpenClaw without linking them again.
Your Discord stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
OpenClaw only sees the Discord chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw read my Discord messages?
Yes, once you link Discord in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to OpenClaw. OpenClaw reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can OpenClaw send Discord messages for me?
OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw 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.
Is OpenClaw the same as Clawdbot or Moltbot?
Yes. The project was renamed from Clawdbot to Moltbot, then to OpenClaw. The setup is the same whichever name your install uses.
Do I need to restart OpenClaw after adding ConnectChats?
Yes. Stop the Gateway before you run openclaw mcp login connectchats, then start it again so your agent picks up the new server.
