About

Discord ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 19 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Discord lets a workflow post and manage content on a server the same way a bot would — sending messages, reacting to them, and reading, creating, updating and deleting channels as a process needs to communicate with a community or team.

Roles and membership are manageable directly: roles can be created, updated and deleted, and added to or removed from a specific member, which covers a workflow granting or revoking access as someone completes an onboarding step or a subscription changes. Guild, channel and message data can all be listed or fetched individually, so a workflow can react to what’s already there rather than only creating new content.

A good fit for turning an external event into a Discord notification, running moderation or role-management logic from outside Discord itself, or building a lightweight community-ops workflow around a server.

Build with Discord

Three routes to the same 19 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Discord's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Discord's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",
  "name": "discord-example",
  "steps": [
    {
      "id": "add-member-role",
      "uses": {
        "app": "io.w6w.discord",
        "action": "add-member-role",
        "connection": "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID"
      },
      "with": {
        "guildId": "<guildId>",
        "userId": "<userId>",
        "roleId": "<roleId>"
      }
    }
  ]
}

+14 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Discord, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Discord. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "send-message",
  payload: {
    channelId: "<value>",
    // content: "<value>",
    // tts: "<value>",
    // replyToMessageId: "<value>",
    // embeds: "<value>",
    // messageOptions: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action send-message --payload '{"channelId":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Discord — without giving it Discord's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.discord#add-member-role",
    "input": {
      "guildId": "<guildId>",
      "userId": "<userId>",
      "roleId": "<roleId>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Discord connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Discord's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Discord itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Discord declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Discord platform status

Atlassian Statuspage rollup for discordstatus.com, with per-component detail. Unauthenticated and unsigned.

quota

API rate-limit headroom

Requests remaining in the `/users/@me` bucket. Discord meters per route bucket, so this is a sample rather than an app-wide allowance.
