Features
🎮
Server Control
Start, stop, and restart your game servers with slash commands. Full Access role required for lifecycle actions.
📊
Live Status
One /status call returns players, CPU, memory, uptime, network in and out, threads, connections and handles, read live from the host agent.
🖥️
Console Access
View recent console output and run commands directly from Discord. Configurable command channel restriction.
📡
Live Console Mirroring
Point a channel at a server with /config live-console or /config live-logs and new lines appear there every 10 seconds. Bindings are per channel and per server, so one Discord server can watch several game servers at once.
📁
File & Settings
Browse server files, view settings, and manage mods — all through Discord commands.
💾
Backups
List existing backups and create new ones on demand. Full Access role required for creating backups.
🔒
Permission Roles
Five permission levels: None, Read Only, Console Access, Full Access, and Owner. Assign per Discord role.
🎫
Support Tickets
Read your open tickets and any single ticket in full, without leaving Discord. Replies are private to you.

Quick Setup
- Add the bot to your Discord server using the "Add to Discord" button above.
- Get your GameGrid API key from your account page at wdcgamegrid.com/account/api-keys. Keys start with
gsk_. - Run
/setupin your Discord server and paste your API key. The bot verifies the key and links it to your Discord server. - Configure permissions with
/config role. Assign Read Only, Console Access, Full Access, or Owner to specific Discord roles. Owner is the one that unlocks/account,/billingand the ticket commands — Full Access alone will not run them. - Set a default server with
/config default-server(optional), or bind channels to servers with/config channel-server. - Run your first command.
/serverslists what you have,/statusreports live stats, and/helpprints every command with your current access level at the top.
Security
- Your API key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is stored, is never echoed back into Discord, and is never written to a log.
- Only the member who ran
/setupand the Discord server owner can change configuration. That check runs inside the bot, so a Discord Administrator who is neither is still refused. - Every member starts with no access. Access is granted per Discord role with
/config role, and a member gets the highest level any of their roles carries. - Full Access is required to start, stop or restart a server, to create a backup, and to change a setting. Console commands can additionally be confined to one channel.
- Every request goes through the same Customer API the web panel uses, signed with your key — the bot cannot reach anything that key is not scoped for.
/config resetdeletes the stored key and all configuration for that Discord server.
Questions people ask before inviting it
- Do I need to host the Discord bot myself?
- No. It is a single public bot run by GameGrid. You invite it with the Add to Discord button and link your API key; there is nothing to install or keep running.
- What does the bot cost?
- Nothing. It is included for GameGrid customers and needs no separate account — it authenticates as you, using a GameGrid API key you create in your account.
- What Discord permissions does it ask for?
- Four: View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links, and Use Application Commands. It does not ask to read message history, manage messages, mention everyone, kick, ban, or manage roles.
- Can other people in my Discord control my servers?
- Only if you let them. Every member starts at No Access. You grant a Discord role one of Read Only, Console Access, Full Access or Owner with /config role, and a member gets the highest level any of their roles has. Owner is the tier that reads your account, billing and support tickets. @everyone can be given Read Only and nothing above it, so one wrong pick in the dropdown cannot hand server control — or your billing — to the whole Discord.
- Does anyone at GameGrid have access through the bot?
- One account does: the operator account the bot runs under. It is our support path into the bot, it is not something a customer can set, and every command it runs is written to your log channel if you have set one with /config log-channel.
- Who can change the bot configuration after setup?
- Only the member who ran /setup and the Discord server owner. That check is in the bot itself, so a Discord Administrator who is neither of those is still refused.
- Where is my API key stored, and can anyone see it?
- It is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and kept in the bot's own database. It is never echoed back into Discord, never written to a log, and is decrypted in memory only for the moment it is used to call the API.
- Will my billing or account details appear in the channel?
- No. /account, /billing, /tickets and /ticket reply privately to you — nobody else in the channel sees them.
