The Discord extension lets an Atlas character respond in Discord through a bot you connect. The bot uses the character profile and available project context to answer in character.

​
Enable the extension

Open Plugins in your project, select Add to Discord, and install it. Manage connections from the plugin’s detail page. A character’s Discord tab also links back to that page once the plugin is installed.

​
Connect a character

1

Create or choose a Discord bot

Use Discord’s Developer Portal to create a bot for your server, or choose an existing bot you control.
2

Add a connection

In Mana, open Plugins → Add to Discord and select Add connection.
3

Choose a character

Select the Atlas character the bot should represent, paste the bot token, and connect it.
4

Configure behavior

Choose how the bot should respond in Discord.

​
How the bot responds

The bot can respond when:
  • Someone @mentions the bot
  • Someone mentions the character’s name
  • Active mode is continuing a recent conversation
  • Optional spontaneous participation is enabled
Conversation history is kept separately per Discord channel or thread, so simultaneous conversations do not blend together.

​
Reactions

When emoji reactions are enabled, the bot can occasionally react to human messages. It can also notice reactions on its own messages and use that as conversation context.

​
Limits

  • The Discord extension is available on Start, Pro, and Team plans.
  • Image attachments are ignored.
  • Bot replies use AI credits from the Mana project owner.
  • Spontaneous replies and reactions are intentionally limited so the bot does not dominate a channel.
