Install

Prerequisites: Bun and Claude Code v2.1.80+

claude plugin marketplace add chrismdemian/claude-code-discord-bridge
claude plugin install discord-bridge@claude-code-discord-bridge

Then run the setup wizard inside Claude Code:

/discord-bridge:setup

Paste your Discord bot token when prompted. The wizard walks you through creating a server, configures channels, installs the bridge service, and sets up a claude-dc alias. Takes about 2 minutes.

Two components:

1. Plugin: lightweight MCP server running inside Claude Code. Handles input (Discord to Claude) via the Channels system.
2. Bridge Service: persistent process on your PC. Watches for sessions, tails transcripts, formats output for Discord. Stays alive when Claude Code exits.

Setup

1. Create a Discord Bot

Go to discord.com/developers, create a New Application, go to Bot, and copy the token.

Enable these intents under Bot settings:

• Server Members Intent
• Message Content Intent

2. Install and Configure

# Install the plugin
claude plugin marketplace add chrismdemian/claude-code-discord-bridge
claude plugin install discord-bridge@claude-code-discord-bridge

Then run the setup wizard inside Claude Code:

/discord-bridge:setup

Paste your bot token when prompted. The wizard walks you through adding the bot to a Discord server, then:

• Sets up forum channel, dashboard, and alerts channels
• Creates webhooks and configures the bridge
• Installs the bridge service via pm2
• Sets up the claude-dc shell alias

3. Start

Open a new terminal and start Claude Code with the channel plugin enabled:

claude-dc

The setup wizard creates this alias for you. Every session you start with claude-dc will automatically appear as a forum post in Discord. All Claude Code flags work normally (e.g. claude-dc --dangerously-skip-permissions).
