Overview

Discord for Claude Code is Anthropic's channel plugin that links a Discord bot you create to an open Claude Code session. You message the bot in a direct message or in a server channel you allow; Claude works on it at your computer and replies, reacts or edits its own message in Discord. Only people you pair or allowlist can reach it, and it can pass permission prompts to you in Discord. It suits people who already use Discord and leave Claude Code running.

It turns a Discord chat into a way to check on a long Claude Code task, with access limited to the accounts and channels you allow.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

In a direct message to your paired test bot: "What are you working on right now? Answer in one line."First try · your own test bot
"Has the build finished? If it failed, tell me the first error."
Attach a screenshot and ask: "Read the attached screenshot and add the bug it shows to the project's task notes."writes files
"Read the last 20 messages in this channel and summarise what people asked you to do."

Good to know

Bridge messages from a Discord bot into an already running Claude Code session. An allowed user can ask about a task from a phone or another computer and read the session's reply in Discord.

Limits

The documented setup needs Bun, a Discord application with the Message Content Intent turned on, a session started with the channels flag and an access policy. Pairing and switching to an allowlist are separate steps, and the session must keep running.
Anyone on the allowlist can approve or deny Claude's tool requests through the channel, so allow only people you trust with that.
