Configuration

A Discord bot token is required for proper operation. The server supports two transport methods: stdio and streamable HTTP.

Transport Methods

1. stdio (Default)

• Traditional stdio transport for basic usage
• Suitable for simple integrations

1. streamable HTTP

• HTTP-based transport for more advanced scenarios
• Supports stateless operation
• Configurable port number

Configuration Options

You can provide configuration in two ways:

1. Environment variables:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token

1. Using command line arguments:

# For stdio transport (default)
node build/index.js --config "your_discord_bot_token"

# For streamable HTTP transport
node build/index.js --transport http --port 3000 --config "your_discord_bot_token"
