Discord

What is the Discord tool?

The Discord tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to interact with discord channels and messages. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN environment variable. Get your API key at discord.com.

How to use Discord in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Discord

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Discord" from the communication category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Discord when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Discord.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Discord:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.discord import DiscordTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Discord Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[DiscordTools()],
    instructions=["Use the discord tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a discord task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
