| 25 | ## 🔬 Installation |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ### ► 🐳 Docker Installation (Recommended) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | > [!NOTE] |
| 30 | > Docker installation is required. Full instructions can be found on [docker.com](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/). |
| 31 | |
| 32 | #### 1) Set local env variables |
| 33 | ```bash |
| 34 | export DISCORD_TOKEN="YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN" |
| 35 | export DISCORD_GUILD_ID="OPTIONAL_DEFAULT_SERVER_ID" |
| 36 | export SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=http |
| 37 | ``` |
| 38 | |
| 39 | > [!IMPORTANT] |
| 40 | > Instructions for creating a Discord bot and retrieving its token can be found [here](https://discordjs.guide/legacy/preparations/app-setup). |
| 41 | |
| 42 | > [!TIP] |
| 43 | > The `DISCORD_GUILD_ID` env variable is optional. |
| 44 | > |
| 45 | > When provided, it sets a default Discord server ID so any tool that accepts a `guildId` parameter can omit it. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | #### 2) Run the Docker container |
| 48 | ```bash |
| 49 | docker run -d -i \ |
| 50 | --name discord-mcp \ |
