Why Discord + OpenClaw?

Discord servers thrive on engagement. An AI-powered bot can answer questions, moderate content, welcome new members, and automate routine tasks — all without you being online.

Prerequisites

  • A ClawServe account with a running instance
  • Admin access to a Discord server

Step 1: Create a Discord Application

  1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal (discord.com/developers)
  2. Click New Application and give it a name
  3. Go to the Bot section and click Add Bot
  4. Copy the bot token

Step 2: Set Bot Permissions

Under OAuth2 > URL Generator, select these scopes:

  • bot
  • applications.commands

And these bot permissions:

  • Send Messages
  • Read Message History
  • Manage Messages (for moderation)
  • Embed Links

Step 3: Invite the Bot

Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser. Select your server and authorize the bot.

Step 4: Connect to ClawServe

  1. In your ClawServe Dashboard, go to Channels > Discord
  2. Paste your bot token
  3. Click Connect

What Your Bot Can Do

  • Answer questions — Members can ask anything and get AI-powered responses
  • Moderate content — Automatically flag or remove inappropriate messages
  • Welcome new members — Send personalized welcome messages
  • Summarize channels — Generate summaries of busy channels
  • Run commands — Create custom slash commands for common tasks

Tips

  • Use the @mention to trigger the bot in busy channels
  • Set up channel-specific behavior in the Skills configuration
  • Monitor bot usage in the ClawServe Dashboard
