THGL Discord Bot MCP Server

What it does

The THGL Discord Bot is the official bot for The Hidden Gaming Lair gaming community. Alongside its Discord integration, it ships an MCP server interface (mcp.ts) that exposes the community's update and info channels as queryable MCP tools. AI assistants connected to it can fetch the latest patch summaries, release notes, and announcements from the THGL Discord server without needing direct Discord access. It powers content syndication across THGL websites and companion apps.

Tools

• Channel Feed — Retrieve curated posts from the THGL Discord updates and info channels.
• App Updates Cache — Access cached application update entries for fast retrieval of release history.
• Announcements — Fetch community-facing news and patch summaries suitable for display in apps or websites.

(Tool names inferred from lib/app-updates-cache.ts, lib/channels.ts, and routes/updates/route.ts; README does not enumerate MCP tools explicitly.)
