# Discord

> Deploy agents to Discord for community support and moderation.

The Discord integration connects any Agno agent to Discord via the Gateway API. No webhooks required.

## Quick Start

```python discord_agent.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.integrations.discord import DiscordClient

agent = Agent(name="Assistant", model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.4"))

discord_client = DiscordClient(agent)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    discord_client.serve()
```

```bash theme={null}
uv pip install agno discord.py
python discord_agent.py
```

## How It Works

| Concept         | Behavior                                                     |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Gateway**     | Direct connection to Discord, no webhooks or tunnels needed  |
| **Threads**     | Auto-creates threads for conversations with isolated context |
| **Intents**     | Requires Message Content Intent enabled in Developer Portal  |
