cursor-discord-channels

Talk to your Cursor agent in Discord — and have it talk back.

This project connects a Cursor agent to Discord, so your agent can live on a small always-on server and reply when people @mention it in a channel.

What you get

• @mention your agent in Discord and get a real reply in the thread
• An always-on assistant that does not need your laptop open
• Uses your Cursor subscription (not a separate API bill)
• You stay in control — who can talk to the bot, which channels, pairing for new people

Think of it as giving your Cursor agent a phone line into Discord.

How it works (simple)

1. Someone tags your bot in Discord
2. A small bridge program on your server sees the message
3. It wakes up Cursor agent with that message
4. The agent answers using Discord tools (reply in the thread, react, read recent messages, etc.)

Discord  →  bridge  →  Cursor agent  →  Discord reply

What you need

Thing	Why
A Discord bot	Your agent’s identity in Discord
Cursor agent on the server	agent login once (your normal Cursor account)
A small server that stays on	So the bridge can run 24/7
Node.js	To run this repo

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/lilyzhng/cursor-discord-channels.git
cd cursor-discord-channels
npm install

1. Create a Discord bot and put the token in ~/.cursor/channels/discord/.env
   (DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=...)
2. Log in on the server: agent login
3. Point the agent at your project folder (where your rules and context live)
4. Start the bridge: npm run bridge

For a production setup (auto-restart on boot), see examples/systemd/ and docs/JACKIE_PILOT.md.
