Discord

Discord works well for direct messages and server channels through the official bot API.

What you need

• A Discord application with a bot
• A bot token
• Developer Mode enabled so you can copy user, server, and channel IDs
• Privileged intents enabled, especially Message Content Intent

Setup flow

1. Create a Discord application and bot in the Developer Portal.
2. Enable Message Content Intent.
3. Invite the bot with bot and applications.commands scopes.
4. Store the token securely and connect it to Nexu.
5. Start the gateway.
6. DM the bot, receive a pairing code, and approve it.

Example config

{
  channels: {
    discord: {
      enabled: true,
      token: {
        source: "env",
        provider: "default",
        id: "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
      },
    },
  },
}

Recommended server policy

• Start with groupPolicy: "allowlist"
• Add your private server under guilds
• Keep requireMention: true at first
• Turn requireMention off only after you confirm the server is private and trusted
