A Discord application with a bot, created in the Discord Developer Portal, and its bot token

Discord MCP Server (barryyip0625) + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Discord MCP Server (barryyip0625) config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Discord MCP Server (barryyip0625) safe to use with Cursor?

Which intents and permissions does the bot need?

Enable the Message Content, Server Members, and Presence privileged intents. For full functionality the Administrator permission is recommended; otherwise grant the specific permissions for the tools you use (Send/Manage Messages, Manage Channels, Manage Roles, Add Reactions, View Channels).

How do I pass the bot token?

Provide it via the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable, or pass it on the command line with `npx mcp-discord --config <token>`.
