How It Works
The bot operates like any other standard Discord bot. Once invited, it will index messages from channels it has been given access to. Activation by a server owner or administrator is required before any message data is processed, ensuring full control and transparency.1
Invite the Bot
The first step is to invite the official Shuriken Bot to your Discord server. You must have
Administrator or Manage Server permissions to do this.The bot requires a basic set of permissions to read messages and view channels. It will never post messages, manage roles, or perform any administrative actions.

Activate the Server
For security and privacy, message processing does not begin automatically. A user with Owner or Administrator privileges in the Discord server must explicitly activate it.
- In the Shuriken Terminal, an “Activate” button will appear for authorized users.
- Click this button to grant the bot permission to begin indexing messages.
Once activated, you will see a confirmation, and messages from your server will begin to appear in your unified feed in real-time.
