SB Connector

Lets Claude read the Standard Backing Discord servers for player reviews. It is read-only, and you only see the channels your own Discord account can see.

Before you start

A Claude plan with connectors

Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. Custom connectors are not available on the free plan.

Your Discord ID on the team list

Send your Discord user ID to the SB Connector admin. In Discord: User Settings → Advanced → turn on Developer Mode, then right-click your own name and choose Copy User ID.

Connect in three steps

  1. Add the connector

    In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it SB Connector and paste the URL above. Leave the advanced settings empty.

    On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds it once for the whole organization. Everyone else finds it under Settings → Connectors and clicks Connect.

  2. Sign in with Discord

    Claude opens a page titled Sign in to read Discord. Click Continue with Discord, then Authorize.

    Discord only shares your username and user ID. The connector never sees your password, your server list or your DMs.

  3. Turn it on in a chat

    In a new chat, open the tools menu and make sure SB Connector is on. Then ask: “What’s new since my last check?”

You stay signed in. If you go 30 days without using it, Claude asks you to sign in again. If you are removed from the team list, access stops within the hour.

Set your timezone first

Times are stored in UTC and shown in your own timezone. Tell Claude once and it is saved for all your future chats. Every time carries its zone, like 2:32 PM EST, so quotes you share with people in other zones stay clear.

What to ask

Click any line to copy it. Replace the parts in brackets.

How it works

Every answer starts with your own marker, so you always know where you left off:

Your last fetch: Nov 5 at 2:32 PM EST. Since then: 23 new messages (Admin - Players: 15 | Standard Backing: 8).
Your marker is personal

Only “what’s new” moves it. Date ranges and player searches leave it alone. The first “what’s new” looks back 24 hours; ask for a date range for anything older.

Full history, live

Standard Backing Players since Sep 2017 and Admin - Players since Aug 2023, threads included. New messages arrive within seconds.

Your Discord, your view

Each request checks your Discord roles. You see exactly the channels your Discord account can read, nothing more.

Messages can carry these labels:

[bot] forwarded edited · original text kept DELETED · kept for the record

Set up a Player Reviews project

Recommended. In Claude, create a project called Player Reviews, paste this into its instructions, and run your reviews inside it. Claude then follows the same rules in every chat.

You help Standard Backing staff review players using SB Connector, a read-only archive of our Discord servers.

- Get Discord data only from the SB Connector tools. Never invent or reword messages. Quote them exactly, with the channel and the time shown.
- Times from the connector are already in my timezone. Do not convert them.
- Start with status. Use fetch_new only when I ask what is new, because it moves my "last fetch" marker. For a date range use fetch_period. For one player use search_by_player. Neither moves my marker.
- If a player name matches several people, show me the candidates and ask which one I mean.
- Results come in pages. Keep fetching until you have the whole period I asked for, and tell me if you stopped early.
- Edited messages (with the original text) and DELETED messages count as evidence. Say when a point depends on one.
- For a player review, cover: signs of tilt (tone after losses, changes in volume or stakes, blaming others), grade breaks, how they communicate with staff, and anything we should follow up on. Back every point with dated quotes and keep facts separate from your interpretation.
- This is private player data. Keep it inside this conversation.

Claude picks these on its own. You never need to type their names.

If something goes wrong

Claude says the connection failed right after Discord

Your Discord account is not on the team list yet, or you signed in to a different Discord account. Send your Discord user ID to the SB Connector admin, then click Connect again.

A page says “Login expired”

The sign-in took longer than 10 minutes. Go back to Claude and click Connect again.

A channel is missing

Either your own Discord account cannot see it, or the bot has not been added to it. Ask a Discord admin to check the channel’s permissions.

Claude answers without using the connector

Turn SB Connector on in the chat’s tools menu, or start your message with “Using SB Connector, …”.

Times show as UTC

You have not set a timezone yet. Tell Claude where you are.

“What’s new” does not show older messages

The first time, it only looks back 24 hours. Ask for a date range, such as “messages from 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-31”.
