An open-source Discord bot that runs a Claude-based agent in your server for scheduling, file handling, and Q&A.
Cordbot deploys an AI agent — built on the Claude Agent SDK — into a Discord server, where it holds conversation memory, answers questions, searches the web on request, handles files, and can schedule or automate recurring tasks. It's positioned as open source and meant to be self-hosted: a server owner brings their own Claude API key and runs it on their own infrastructure rather than paying Cordbot a subscription. That makes it a fit for Discord community managers comfortable deploying and maintaining a bot themselves, rather than teams wanting a managed, click-to-install service. The marketing site is thin on company details and mostly client-rendered, so most of what's confirmed here comes from the project's public description rather than a deep read of the site itself.
Self-hosted and open source — there is no vendor subscription fee; running it costs your own hosting plus your own Claude API usage.
Use tool ↗Cordbot is a self-hosted, open-source way to put a Claude-powered agent into a Discord server rather than a managed SaaS bot — good for a technical community owner willing to run and pay for their own API key, not a fit for anyone wanting a paid add-a-bot experience. Because it's self-hosted, there's no vendor subscription cost, but there's also no vendor support if it breaks.
Watch out: This is a self-hosted, bring-your-own-API-key project, not a managed subscription bot — factor in your own hosting and Claude API costs.
