Getting Percy up and running on your server takes less than five minutes. You’ll invite the bot, confirm its permissions, verify it’s online with a quick test command, and then set up your first feature. No configuration files, no hosting — just click, invite, and go.
1

Invite Percy to Your Server

Click the link below to open Discord’s official OAuth2 invite flow. Select the server you want to add Percy to from the drop-down menu, then click Authorize.Invite Percy →
You need the Manage Server permission (or be the server owner) to add a bot to a Discord server.

Grant the Required Permissions

The invite link requests a default set of permissions that cover Percy’s core features. Review the permissions dialog and click Authorize to confirm.If you’d like to limit Percy’s access, you can uncheck individual permissions — just be aware that some features won’t work without their required permissions. See the Permissions guide for a full breakdown by feature.Once you authorize, Percy will appear in your server’s member list and its slash commands will register automatically within a few seconds.

Verify Percy Is Online

Head to any channel Percy can read and write in, then run a quick ping test. Percy should reply instantly with its current latency.
If Percy doesn’t respond, double-check that it has Send Messages and View Channel permissions in that channel.
Not sure which commands exist? Run /help or ?help for a full, paginated overview of every command category. Use /help <command> to get detailed usage and examples for any specific command.

Set Up Your First Feature — Moderation

Percy’s moderation suite is one of the most common first things to configure. Run the moderation config command to open an interactive panel that walks you through logging channels, mute role setup, and automod rules.
The interactive menu lets you enable or disable individual moderation features, assign a dedicated log channel, and bind a mute role — all without leaving Discord.Here’s a quick taste of what moderation commands look like in both styles:
Every Percy command works as both a slash command and a prefix command. Slash commands offer autocomplete and guided argument input; prefix commands are faster to type once you know them. Use whichever you prefer — they’re identical under the hood.
