Connect Discord to OpenClaw

Connect your OpenClaw agent to Discord and let it respond in your server channels. It works as a regular Discord bot that you invite to any server you manage.

> Before you start

Make sure you have:

  • ✓ A running OpenClaw agent. Your agent must be deployed and in a "Running" state on Clawly (or self-hosted).
  • ✓ A Discord account. You'll need permissions to add bots to a server.
  • ✓ A Discord bot token. You'll create a bot application on the Discord Developer Portal.

> Step-by-step guide

1. Create a Discord application

Go to the Discord Developer Portal, click New Application, and give it a name. Then go to the Bot tab and click Reset Token to generate a bot token. Copy it.

2. Enable required intents

On the Bot settings page, scroll down to Privileged Gateway Intents and enable Message Content Intent. This allows your bot to read message content in channels.

3. Invite the bot to your server

Go to the OAuth2 tab, select bot under scopes, choose the permissions your bot needs (at minimum: Send Messages, Read Message History), and use the generated URL to invite the bot to your server.

4. Connect on Clawly

On your Clawly dashboard, open the OpenClaw GUI for your agent. Go to Settings → Channels, enable Discord, and paste your bot token. Restart the agent.

5. Start chatting

Your bot will appear online in your Discord server. Mention it or send it a DM to start a conversation with your OpenClaw agent.
