8# Discord Automation via Rube MCP
9 
10Automate Discord operations through Composio's Discord/Discordbot toolkits via Rube MCP.
11 
12## Prerequisites
13 
14- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
15- Active Discord connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkits `discord` and `discordbot`
16- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas
17 
18## Setup
19 
20**Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
21 
22 
231. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds
242. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `discordbot` (bot operations) or `discord` (user operations)
253. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Discord auth
264. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
27 
28## Core Workflows
29 
30### 1. Send Messages
31 
32**When to use**: User wants to send messages to channels or DMs
33 
34**Tool sequence**:
351. `DISCORD_LIST_MY_GUILDS` - List guilds the bot belongs to [Prerequisite]
362. `DISCORDBOT_LIST_GUILD_CHANNELS` - List channels in a guild [Prerequisite]
373. `DISCORDBOT_CREATE_MESSAGE` - Send a message [Required]
384. `DISCORDBOT_UPDATE_MESSAGE` - Edit a sent message [Optional]
39 
40**Key parameters**:
41- `channel_id`: Channel snowflake ID
42- `content`: Message text (max 2000 characters)
43- `embeds`: Array of embed objects for rich content
44- `guild_id`: Guild ID for channel listing
45 
46**Pitfalls**:
47- Bot must have SEND_MESSAGES permission in the channel
48- High-frequency sends can hit per-route rate limits; respect Retry-After headers
49- Only messages sent by the same bot can be edited
50 
51### 2. Send Direct Messages
52 
53**When to use**: User wants to DM a Discord user
54 
55**Tool sequence**:
561. `DISCORDBOT_CREATE_DM` - Create or get DM channel [Required]
572. `DISCORDBOT_CREATE_MESSAGE` - Send message to DM channel [Required]
58 
59**Key parameters**:
60- `recipient_id`: User snowflake ID for DM
61- `channel_id`: DM channel ID from CREATE_DM
62 
63**Pitfalls**:
64- Cannot DM users who have DMs disabled or have blocked the bot
65- CREATE_DM returns existing channel if one already exists
66 
67### 3. Manage Roles
68 
69**When to use**: User wants to create, assign, or remove roles
70 
71**Tool sequence**:
721. `DISCORDBOT_CREATE_GUILD_ROLE` - Create a new role [Optional]
732. `DISCORDBOT_ADD_GUILD_MEMBER_ROLE` - Assign role to member [Optional]
743. `DISCORDBOT_DELETE_GUILD_ROLE` - Delete a role [Optional]
754. `DISCORDBOT_GET_GUILD_MEMBER` - Get member details [Optional]
765. `DISCORDBOT_UPDATE_GUILD_MEMBER` - Update member (roles, nick, etc.) [Optional]
77 
78**Key parameters**:
79- `guild_id`: Guild snowflake ID
80- `user_id`: User snowflake ID
81- `role_id`: Role snowflake ID
82- `name`: Role name
83- `permissions`: Bitwise permission value
84- `color`: RGB color integer
85 
86**Pitfalls**:
87- Role assignment requires MANAGE_ROLES permission
88- Target role must be lower in hierarchy than bot's highest role
89- DELETE permanently removes the role from all members
90 
91### 4. Manage Webhooks
92 
93**When to use**: User wants to create or use webhooks for external integrations
94 
95**Tool sequence**:
961. `DISCORDBOT_GET_GUILD_WEBHOOKS` / `DISCORDBOT_LIST_CHANNEL_WEBHOOKS` - List webhooks [Optional]
972. `DISCORDBOT_CREATE_WEBHOOK` - Create a new webhook [Optional]
983. `DISCORDBOT_EXECUTE_WEBHOOK` - Send message via webhook [Optional]
994. `DISCORDBOT_UPDATE_WEBHOOK` - Update webhook settings [Optional]
100 
101**Key parameters**:
102- `webhook_id`: Webhook ID
103- `webhook_token`: Webhook secret token
104- `channel_id`: Channel for webhook creation
105- `name`: Webhook name
106- `content`/`embeds`: Message content for execution
107 
108**Pitfalls**:
109- Webhook tokens are secrets; handle securely
110- Webhooks can post with custom username and avatar per message
111- MANAGE_WEBHOOKS permission required for creation
112 
113### 5. Manage Reactions
114 
115**When to use**: User wants to view or manage message reactions
116 
117**Tool sequence**:
1181. `DISCORDBOT_LIST_MESSAGE_REACTIONS_BY_EMOJI` - List users who reacted [Optional]
1192. `DISCORDBOT_DELETE_ALL_MESSAGE_REACTIONS` - Remove all reactions [Optional]
1203. `DISCORDBOT_DELETE_ALL_MESSAGE_REACTIONS_BY_EMOJI` - Remove specific emoji reactions [Optional]
1214. `DISCORDBOT_DELETE_USER_MESSAGE_REACTION` - Remove specific user's reaction [Optional]
122 
123**Key parameters**:
124- `channel_id`: Channel ID
125- `message_id`: Message snowflake ID
126- `emoji_name`: URL-encoded emoji or `name:id` for custom emojis
127- `user_id`: User ID for specific reaction removal
128 
129**Pitfalls**:
130- Unicode emojis must be URL-encoded (e.g., '%F0%9F%91%8D' for thumbs up)
131- Custom emojis use `name:id` format
132- DELETE_ALL requires MANAGE_MESSAGES permission
133 
134## Common Patterns
135 
136### Snowflake IDs
137 
138Discord uses snowflake IDs (64-bit integers as strings) for all entities:
139- Guilds, channels, users, roles, messages, webhooks
140 
141### Permission Bitfields
142 
143Permissions are combined using bitwise OR:
144- SEND_MESSAGES = 0x800
145- MANAGE_ROLES = 0x10000000
146- MANAGE_MESSAGES = 0x2000
147- ADMINISTRATOR = 0x8
148 
149### Pagination
150 
151- Most list endpoints support `limit`, `before`, `after` parameters
152- Messages: max 100 per request
153- Reactions: max 100 per request, use `after` for pagination
154 
155## Known Pitfalls
156 
157**Bot vs User Tokens**:
158- `discordbot` toolkit uses bot tokens; `discord` uses user OAuth
159- Bot operations are preferred for automation
160 
161**Rate Limits**:
162- Discord enforces per-route rate limits
163- Respect `Retry-After` headers on 429 responses
