Server administrators can control how CDC Bot behaves in their server using the /server_config command. Settings are stored per-server and persist across bot restarts.

​
Accessing server settings

Run /server_config in any channel where CDC Bot is present. The bot responds with an ephemeral embed showing all current settings. Use the dropdown to select and modify any setting.
By default, any user can run /server_config. Restrict this command to trusted roles using Discord’s built-in application command permission management in Server Settings → Integrations → CDC Bot.

​
Available settings

​
Enable Wordgames

PropertyValue
TypeBoolean
DefaultTrue
Controls whether word games can be started in this server. When set to False, the /manual_wordgame_trigger command returns an error message and word games cannot be triggered by any means.

​
Enable Auto-responses

PropertyValue
TypeBoolean
DefaultTrue
Controls whether CDC Bot replies when mentioned or replied to in server channels. When set to False, the bot ignores all mentions and replies in that server. This does not affect DMs — users can still DM the bot directly.

​
Enable Cat Posting

PropertyValue
TypeBoolean
DefaultFalse
Enables automatic cat photo posting in a designated channel. Requires Cat Posting Channel ID to be set to a valid channel ID.

​
Cat Posting Channel ID

PropertyValue
TypeInteger (Discord channel ID)
Default0
The numeric ID of the channel where cat photos will be posted automatically when cat posting is enabled. To find a channel ID: Enable Developer Mode in Discord (User Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode), then right-click the channel and select Copy Channel ID.

​
Cat Submission Channel ID

PropertyValue
TypeInteger (Discord channel ID)
Default0
The numeric ID of the channel where cat photo submissions are reviewed before being posted.

​
Changing a setting

1

Run /server_config

The bot responds privately with an embed showing all settings and their current values.
2

Pick a setting from the dropdown

Select the setting you want to change.
3

Enter the new value

A modal appears. For boolean settings, type True or False. For channel ID settings, paste the numeric channel ID.
4

Confirm

Submit the modal. The bot confirms the change with the new value.

​
How settings persist

Settings are stored in a JSON file on the bot’s host machine. Changes take effect immediately and survive restarts — no action is required after changing a setting.
