From quadslab

quadslab (@quadslab.io/discord-mcp) is the largest of the third-party Discord MCPs by tool count - ~138 tools across 20 categories. The quadslab adapter walks a local clone, intersects against a known-tool catalog (139 entries) for high-precision extraction, and reports the discord-mcp equivalents.

Source

Repo: HardHeadHackerHead/discord-mcp
Package: @quadslab.io/discord-mcp (v2.1.1 at cutoff)
Tool count (cutoff 2026-05-01): ~138 across 20 categories (guild, roles, channels, members, messages, reactions, server, threads, forums, emojis, stickers, webhooks, events, stage, automod, polls, DMs, presence, templates, commands, onboarding).
Adapter source: packages/mcp-server/src/lib/migrate-adapters/quadslab.ts

Why migrate to discord-mcp

Production hardening - first-class OpenTelemetry traces and Cockatiel resilience policies on the central Discord REST path. See Operations: telemetry.
Components V2 first-class - dedicated components_v2_send and components_v2_edit tools validate flags = 32768 layouts. See the Components V2 announcement recipe.
Explicit confirmation on selected high-risk tools - the 29 tools registered with confirm_required require __confirm: true and MCP_DRY_RUN=false. Other writes can execute immediately, so inspect each tool’s confirmation badge rather than inferring safety from “destructive.” See Architecture: confirmation.
Pipeline sequencing - mcp_pipeline chains multiple tool calls in a single round-trip with {{step.path}} interpolation between them. See Architecture: pipeline.

MCP Resources overlap

quadslab exposes MCP resources for live state. This is not a tool, and the migration extractor does not translate it. discord-mcp’s current Gateway surface emits experimental subscription notifications, but those live URIs are not available through its resources/list or resources/read catalog.

The quadslab adapter does not translate resource subscriptions - they don’t appear in <category>Tools arrays, so they’re invisible to the extraction step. Treat this as a migration gap and keep the old resource path until a discord-mcp subscription has been verified end-to-end for your client. See Architecture: gateway.

Step-by-step migration

Clone quadslab locally.

git clone https://github.com/HardHeadHackerHead/discord-mcp.git ~/quadslab-clone

Run the migration report.
Terminal window
```
discord-mcp migrate --from quadslab --source ~/quadslab-clone
```
For machine-readable output: --json.
Review the report.

The output groups tools into mapped / unmapped / manual review. Read every medium and low confidence note before swapping argument shapes.
Update agent prompts.

Swap names per the mapped table. Pay particular attention to:
- The five <verb>_<channel-type> tools (create_text_channel, create_voice_channel, create_category, create_forum_channel, create_announcement_channel) - they all collapse onto channels_create_guild_channel with a different type integer. Read the per-entry note for the type ID.
- Embed-and-file variants (send_embed, send_message_with_file, send_dm_embed) - all collapse onto messages_send with the embed or attachment hoisted into the appropriate payload field.
Generate your new client config.
Terminal window
```
discord-mcp init --client claude-desktop
```
Merge the printed snippet, set DISCORD_TOKEN, then restart your MCP client.
Optional - enable Gateway notifications.
Terminal window
```
discord-mcp serve --gateway
```
This backs experimental resources/subscribe notifications with Discord Gateway events. It does not expose quadslab’s live resources through resources/list or resources/read; retain the old resource path until the notification-plus-REST-read flow is verified in your client.

Notable low-confidence entries (always re-read the per-entry notes):

quadslab tool	discord-mcp tool	Confidence	Notes
`bulk_assign_role`	`members_add_role`	low	Iterate per user; discord-mcp has no bulk variant.
`bulk_remove_role`	`members_remove_role`	low	Iterate per user.
`purge_user_messages`	`messages_bulk_delete`	low	Compose: `messages_search_recent` + filter by author, then `messages_bulk_delete`.
`send_poll`	`messages_send`	low	discord-mcp creates polls inline via the `poll: {...}` field on the send payload.
`send_dm`	`messages_send`	low	Call `users_create_dm` first to get the DM channel ID.
`list_role_members`	`members_list`	low	discord-mcp has no by-role lookup; list members and filter on role IDs client-side.
`list_stage_instances`	`stage_instances_get`	low	discord-mcp has no list endpoint; fetch per channel.

Gap analysis

About 14 quadslab tools have no discord-mcp equivalent and surface in the report’s unmapped list. Reasons grouped by category:

Presence (2) - set_bot_status, get_bot_info. discord-mcp currently exposes neither presence tools nor a serve flag/environment setting for bot presence. Keep the old integration for this capability or omit it.
Templates (4) - list_templates, create_template, delete_template, sync_template. Discord guild templates have no discord-mcp tool wrapper today. Workaround: continue calling the REST endpoint directly, or omit the feature.
Helper composites (3) - clone_channel, copy_channel_permissions, check_permissions. Compose from primitives: channels_get + channels_create_guild_channel + channels_modify_permissions.
Voice helpers (5) - move_to_voice, disconnect_from_voice, set_voice_region, set_voice_status, list_voice_members. discord-mcp’s voice_* tools cover state and regions but not the channel-side helpers; partial overlap with low value, so left unmapped.
