Manage BabelBot from an AI assistant
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another app with remote HTTP MCP and OAuth support to manage BabelBot settings from your assistant.
Connect an AI assistant to BabelBot, and ask it to check or change your server settings in plain words. For example: "Add German to my server's target languages." The dashboard calls this AI assistant (MCP).
Your assistant makes real changes
Read each action before you approve it. If the summary does not match what you asked for, do not approve it.
๐ Before you start
- You have Manage Server in each server that you want to manage.
- BabelBot is in those servers.
- Your AI app supports remote MCP servers with browser sign-in (OAuth).
Your assistant follows the same rules as the dashboard. It cannot go past your plan limits or your Discord permissions.
๐ Connect your assistant
Copy the server address
Go to DashboardIntegrationsAI assistant (MCP). Under Server address, select Copy address. Paste it only into an AI app that you trust.
Add BabelBot to your app
Follow the steps for your app below.
Sign in with Discord
Your app opens a browser window. Sign in with Discord if it asks. Then select Allow access on the BabelBot page.
- In Claude or Claude Desktop, open Settings, then Connectors.
- Select Add custom connector and paste the server address.
- Select Connect and sign in with Discord.
- Turn on the BabelBot connector in your conversation.
On Claude Team and Enterprise, an owner must add the connector first. See Claude's custom connector guide.
App menus change over time. If a label above moved, follow your app's own MCP steps. Always copy the address from the BabelBot dashboard.
๐งช Try it
Start with a question that only reads settings:
Show my BabelBot servers and the target languages for my server.
Compare the answer with Target languages in the dashboard. If it matches, you are connected.
๐ฌ What you can ask
- "Which languages does my server translate into?"
- "Add Portuguese and remove French."
- "Turn off translation in #off-topic."
- "Ignore messages from this member."
- "How many translations do we have left this month?"
- "Run a checkup on my server."
Ask for one change at a time. Then check the result in the dashboard or in Discord. Each change from your assistant shows in Audit logs.
๐ Disconnect an app
Find the app
Go to DashboardIntegrationsAI assistant (MCP). Find the app under Connected AI apps.
Disconnect
Select Disconnect and confirm. The app loses access immediately.
Also remove BabelBot from your app's own MCP or connector settings. You can connect again later in the same way.
