Discord Integration

Interact with Tars through your own secure command center.

Discord serves as the primary interface for Tars. It provides a secure, cross-platform environment to monitor and control your infrastructure from any device.

Message Triggers

Tars monitors your Discord channels and responds to specific triggers:

Trigger	Use Case	Example
Direct Message	Private Commands	(No prefix needed)
@Mention	Public Multi-tasking	`@Tars check the server status`
!tars Prefix	Channel Commands	`!tars summarize recent logs`

File Attachments

You can send files directly to Tars in Discord. Tars will download the attachment, analyze its content, and include it in the conversation context. This is ideal for:

Analyzing log files
Explaining code snippets
Processing images or documents

Note: Uploaded files are automatically purged from the local cache after 24 hours.

Bot Permissions

To function correctly, your Discord bot requires the following Gateway Intents enabled in the Developer Portal:

Guild Messages
Message Content (Privileged)
Direct Messages

The tars setup wizard will verify these permissions automatically during configuration.

Inviting the Bot

Once configured, generate a secure invite link to add Tars to your server:

tars discord

This command opens a browser tab with the required permissions pre-configured for your bot.
