Connect Discord

Bot token plus two portal switches; the bot answers where it is @mentioned.

Platform setup

1. Create an application in the Discord Developer Portal and generate a token under Bot.
2. Enable Privileged Gateway Intents: Message Content Intent ON (required); Server Members Intent optional.
3. Under OAuth2 → URL Generator, select scope bot with permissions Send Messages, Read Message History, Embed Links.
4. Open the generated invite URL to add the bot to your server.

Configuration

Required fields: bot_token.

{
  "channels": {
    "discord": {
      "bot_token": "your-discord-bot-token",
      "verbose": { "show_thinking": true, "show_tool_use": true }
    }
  }
}

Behavior

• In server channels the bot only responds when @mentioned; each channel where it is mentioned becomes its own conversation route.
• No incoming messages at all? Message Content Intent is the usual culprit.
