discli – Discord CLI for AI agents and humans

Summary: discli is a command-line interface that enables AI agents and humans to interact with Discord by sending messages, reacting, managing threads, and moderating directly from the terminal. It provides permission profiles, audit logging, and rate limiting to ensure secure and controlled operations without relying on traditional bot frameworks.

What it does

discli allows AI agents or users to execute Discord commands via the terminal, bypassing event handler boilerplate and enabling autonomous actions. It supports persistent bidirectional JSONL connections for streaming responses, slash commands, and real-time events.

Who it's for

It is designed for AI developers, scriptwriters, and users who want to automate or manage Discord servers without a graphical interface or complex bot frameworks.

Why it matters

discli solves the limitations of conventional Discord bots by allowing flexible, autonomous agent behavior with built-in security controls to prevent unintended server disruptions.
