/claudecord:setup — Interactive Setup Wizard

Walk the user through connecting claudecord to their Discord server. Work through the steps below in order. Use AskUserQuestion for each prompt.

Step 0: Check existing config

Read ~/.claudecord/config.json if it exists.

cat ~/.claudecord/config.json 2>/dev/null || echo "not configured"

If already configured, show the current values and ask:

"claudecord is already configured. Do you want to reconfigure it?"

If no → done, remind them to run /clear to reload the MCP server.

Step 1: Create a Discord bot

Tell the user:

To connect claudecord you need a Discord bot. If you already have one, skip this step.

1. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
2. Click New Application → give it a name (e.g. "claudecord")
3. Go to Bot in the left sidebar
4. Click Reset Token → copy the token (you'll only see it once)
5. Enable these Privileged Gateway Intents:
   • Message Content Intent
   • Server Members Intent (optional, needed for allowlist by username)
6. Go to OAuth2 → URL Generator
   • Scopes: bot
   • Bot permissions: Send Messages, Read Messages/View Channels, Manage Channels (for ephemeral channels), Add Reactions, Read Message History, Embed Links
7. Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser to invite the bot to your server.

Ask:

"Paste your bot token:"

Validate: must be non-empty, roughly matches Discord token format (60+ chars). Save as discordBotToken in config.

Step 2: Guild (server) ID

Tell the user:

Enable Developer Mode in Discord: Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode. Right-click your server name in the sidebar → Copy Server ID.

Ask:

"Paste your Discord server (guild) ID:"

Validate: must be a numeric snowflake (17-20 digits). Save as discordGuildId in config.

Step 3: Routing — orchestrator channel

Tell the user:

Right-click the Discord channel where YOU want to talk to the orchestrator → Copy Channel ID.

Ask:

"Paste the orchestrator's primary channel ID:"

Validate: numeric snowflake.

Ask:

"What is your orchestrator agent's name? (default: orchestrator)"

Default to orchestrator. This becomes the primaryAgent in config and the routing key in routing.json.

Step 4: Additional agent channels (optional)

Ask:

"Do you want to map additional channels to agents now? (y/n)"

If yes, loop:

Ask:

"Agent name (or 'done' to finish):"

If not 'done', ask:

"Channel ID for [agent_name]:"

Validate channel ID. Continue until 'done'.

Step 5: HTTP port (optional)

Ask:

"HTTP side-channel port for reply_discord scripts? (default: 19532)"

Accept default or validate it's a valid port number 1024-65535.

Step 6: Allowed users (optional)

Tell the user:

By default claudecord accepts messages from anyone in the channels it monitors. You can restrict this to specific Discord user IDs.

Right-click a user in Discord (Developer Mode enabled) → Copy User ID.

Ask:

"Allowed Discord user IDs? (comma-separated, or leave blank to allow all)"

If blank, leave allowedUsers empty (allow all).

Step 7: Write config

Write config to ~/.claudecord/config.json:

mkdir -p ~/.claudecord
chmod 700 ~/.claudecord

Config JSON structure:

{
  "discordBotToken": "<token>",
  "discordGuildId": "<guild_id>",
  "primaryAgent": "<name>",
  "httpPort": 19532,
  "allowedUsers": []
}

Lock file permissions (token is a credential):

chmod 600 ~/.claudecord/config.json

Write routing to <project_root>/config/routing.json:

{
  "agents": {
    "<primaryAgent>": {
      "channels": ["<orchestrator_channel_id>"]
    }
  },
  "defaultAgent": "<primaryAgent>"
}

Add any additional agents to the agents map.

Step 8: Test connection

Tell the user you'll test the connection now.

Run a quick connectivity test: use the bash MCP server start command to verify the token works. The simplest test is to attempt a Discord API call:

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bot <token>" \
  "https://discord.com/api/v10/users/@me" | \
  grep -q '"username"' && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"

If OK: tell the user the token is valid. If FAIL: tell the user the token is invalid and ask them to re-enter it (return to Step 1).

Step 9: Complete

Tell the user:

Setup complete! Here's what to do next:

1. Restart the MCP server: run /clear in Claude Code to reload it. The claudecord MCP server will start automatically.

2. Verify the bot is online: check your Discord server — the bot should show as online once the MCP server starts.

3. Install on orchestrator session only: claudecord should be enabled in your project's .claude/settings.json, NOT in user-scope settings. This prevents agent sessions from starting duplicate bot instances.

4. Test it: send a message to your orchestrator channel. You should see it arrive as a tool call notification.

5. Agents reply via script: add the claudecord scripts/ directory to your agents' PATH so they can use reply_discord.

Show a summary of what was configured:

Bot:        <username>
Guild:      <guild_id>
Primary:    <primaryAgent> → #<channel_id>
HTTP port:  <port>
Config:     ~/.claudecord/config.json
Routing:    config/routing.json
