Copilot Studio How to use Discord Bot with Copilot Studio
You want Discord Bot inside Copilot Studio so it can answer recurring channel questions, triage active discussion threads, publish and organize an announcement, and moderate a flagged conversation — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Discord Bot gateway
The gateway is the thing Copilot Studio connects to, and it is where you decide which Discord Bot tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Discord Bot tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Discord Bot tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Copilot Studio
Needs a Microsoft 365 subscription with access to Copilot Studio, plus an Arcade API key.
-
Add an MCP tool to your agent
In Copilot Studio, open your agent → Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol → New tool.
-
Point it at your gateway
Give the server a name and description, put your gateway URL in Server URL, set Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and Type to Dynamic discovery.
-
Authorize and try it out
Saving redirects you to Arcade to approve access. Then start a conversation and use your Discord Bot tools — Arcade authorizes each service just in time.

Get started with these Discord prompts
Copilot Studio can now act on your Discord Bot account. Click a prompt to copy it.
Use permissions to control whether an agent can post, pin, edit, or delete Discord messages. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so an agent can search conversations without being allowed to send or delete anything.
