How to Find Bots for Discord in 2022
Before you figure out how to add bots to a server, let’s take a quick look at how you can find useful Discord bots in 2022. There are a couple of ways to do this, but the easiest one, and the one I use most often, is heading to the unofficial Discord bot list website. Here you will find the most used Discord Bots right on the front page itself, and you can add those to your server if you like.
There’s also a handy search option on this website that you can use to find bots for your use case. Once you have found a bot (or multiple bots) that you want to add to your server, move on to the next section to learn how to integrate Discord bots to your server.

How to Add Bots to Discord Server in 2022 (Desktop)
Adding bots on a Discord server is rather easy, as it should be. All you need to do is log into your Discord account in a browser, and you’re good to go. I’m assuming that you have already selected the bots you want to add to your Discord server. Once you have the bots that you want to add to your server, follow the steps below:
Go to the Discord app website, and log in to your Discord account. Select the server you want to add the bots to and click on the drop-down arrow next to the server’s name.
Go to ‘Server Settings’ from the drop-down menu.
Click on ‘Roles’, scroll down, and enable ‘Manage Server’ permission under the General Server Permissions section. Once done, click on ‘Save Changes’. Do make sure that you only allow trusted individuals to manage the server and not everyone.
Find the bot you want from any of the Discord bot websites mentioned above. We will be using Top.gg for this demonstration. From the bot listing page, click on “Invite” to add the bot to your server.
On the next page, select the Discord server to which you want to add the bot from the ‘Add to Server‘ drop-down menu, and click on Continue.
Confirm the permissions that the bot will take on your server and click on ‘Authorize’.
That’s all you need to do, and the bot will be added to your Discord server. You can use bots to extend the functionality available on your server or add fun things to do with your friends.
Note: Many Discord bots are also hosted on GitHub. To install those on your server, you can read the Wiki for these GitHub projects to find the installation guide for the bot. It is not feasible to cover them in an article, as the methods differ from bot to bot.
How to Add Bots to Discord Server in 2022 (Android and iOS)
You can not only add bots to a server from the desktop app or website. You can use the Discord mobile app to invite bots to your server as well, and here’s how that works:
Open Top.gg listing of the bot you would like to add to your Discord server and tap the red ‘Invite’ button. If you have not logged in to Discord on your web browser yet, sign in using your login credentials on the next page.
Once logged in, you will see the bot authorization page. Here, pick the server to add the bot to and press the ‘Continue’ button. Allow all the required permissions and press the ‘Authorize‘ button. And that’s it. You can now access the same from your Discord server.

But remember to only give this permission to trusted individuals and not everyone who joins your server.
