Check in: Unit 3 - Verification
This unit proves the full path from your MCP client to Discord. You will authenticate the bot, make a read-only request, discover a channel ID, and send one deliberate test message.
Where are you going?
Section titled “Where are you going?”The quickstart begins with diagnostics and users_get_current, so you can verify the client
and token without changing Discord. It then uses channels_list to obtain a real ID before
calling messages_send in your private test channel.
The final lesson explains the request, validation, execution, and structured result so you can recognize the same flow in every tool reference.
Checklist
Section titled “Checklist”- My bot is installed in the private test server.
- My MCP client has been restarted with the discord-mcp server configured.
- I have the test server ID and a channel where the bot may read and send messages.
