MEE6 is a Discord bot for automating parts of server management, including moderation, member engagement, welcome messages, and leveling. To add MEE6, open the official MEE6 dashboard, sign in with the Discord account that administers your server, select the server, and follow the setup and authorization prompts. After installation, enable only the plugins you actually need.
This guide explains the current setup workflow, what common MEE6 commands do, why role rewards and slash commands sometimes fail, and which features may require a paid plan. It is designed for server owners who want a functioning setup—not a copied list of commands that may be disabled or unavailable.
What is the MEE6 Discord bot?
MEE6 is a configurable Discord bot controlled primarily through a web dashboard. Rather than enabling every feature automatically, it groups functionality into plugins. You can choose to configure a welcome experience, assign leveling rewards, moderate discussions, and automate selected community tasks. The exact features visible in your dashboard depend on your server, enabled plugins, permissions, and subscription.
There is an important distinction between adding the bot and enabling a feature. Inviting MEE6 does not guarantee that a moderation command, automatic role, or XP reward will work immediately. Each may require separate dashboard settings and Discord permissions.
How to add MEE6 to a Discord server
- Use the official site: open mee6.xyz/dashboard. Avoid third-party invite pages that imitate the MEE6 brand.
- Sign in with Discord: choose the Discord account that owns or administers the intended server. Confirm the account in the browser matches the account in your Discord app.
- Select your server: choose the server from the dashboard and select Setup if the bot is not already installed.
- Review the authorization screen: check the requested permissions and the server name before approving. Do not approve a bot invitation you did not initiate.
- Enable one plugin: start with the feature you actually need, such as Levels. Configure its channel and role settings, then save.
- Test with a regular member account: check the behavior in a test channel before enabling broader automation.
According to MEE6’s getting-started documentation, the dashboard uses a plugin index and a separate configuration area. If your server does not appear, first verify that your Discord account has administrative access and that you are signed in to the correct account.
MEE6 features at a glance
| Feature | What it helps with | Check before enabling |
|---|---|---|
| Levels and XP | Reward member participation | Eligible channels, no-XP roles, reward hierarchy |
| Welcome messages and roles | Greet newcomers and assign a starting role | Plan availability, Manage Roles permission |
| Moderator | Manage disruptive behavior and certain moderation actions | Premium availability, role and command permissions |
| Custom commands | Respond to repeated questions or trigger configured actions | Enabled plugin, channel access, command permissions |
| Automations and integrations | Handle selected recurring server tasks | Individual feature access and required permissions |
Do not treat a feature list as a promise that everything is free. MEE6 explicitly documents Premium requirements for its Moderator plugin and for assigning a welcome role through the Welcome & Goodbye plugin. Check the live dashboard before committing to a setup.
How to set up MEE6 levels and XP
Leveling is useful when you want to acknowledge genuine participation without making your server a race to spam messages. Start in the MEE6 dashboard, select the server, and open the Levels plugin if it is available to you.
- Enable the Levels feature and choose how members should receive level-up announcements.
- Review which channels and roles can earn XP. Exclude bot channels and other spaces where message farming would be disruptive.
- If your plan includes role rewards, create the reward roles in Discord first.
- Give MEE6 the required role-management permission and position its bot role above the reward roles in Discord’s role list.
- Set the desired reward levels, save the changes, and test with an eligible member.
If someone reaches a level but never receives the reward, check the no-XP settings and the bot’s position in the role hierarchy before resetting the entire system. MEE6’s role-reward troubleshooting guide specifically calls out these checks.
MEE6 commands: examples and what to verify
MEE6 supports slash commands, but the available command list depends on the plugins enabled and the access settings for the server. Some older guides use exclamation-mark commands; do not assume a legacy command works on every modern installation.
| Example | Purpose | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
/ban | Ban a member when configured | Requires the Moderator plugin and adequate permissions |
/kick | Remove a member from the server | Requires authorized moderation access |
/mute | Restrict a member through MEE6 moderation | May depend on the plugin and its settings |
/write | Request an AI-generated response | Availability and usage depend on AI feature access |
| Configured custom commands | Send predefined responses | Must be created and enabled in the dashboard |
MEE6 documents /ban, /kick, and /mute in its official moderation instructions. The presence of a command in documentation does not mean every server has access to it. Check the plugin, subscription, and permissions first.
Why MEE6 is not working: fixes by symptom
1. The server does not appear in the MEE6 dashboard
Confirm you are signed in with the correct Discord account. MEE6 states that server owners or administrators normally have access to the relevant server in its dashboard; the Premium Bot Master option is a separate access mechanism. Try signing out of the dashboard and signing back in with the intended account before changing Discord server roles. See MEE6’s server-list troubleshooting.
2. Slash commands do not appear or respond
Open the MEE6 dashboard and verify that the command and its plugin are enabled. Next, inspect the server’s Discord Settings → Integrations area and check command-level role and channel restrictions. MEE6 also recommends checking the dashboard’s slash-command settings; it notes that command availability can take time to update. Its official slash-command checklist is the best next stop.
3. MEE6 cannot assign roles
In Discord, open Server Settings → Roles. Find MEE6’s role, confirm it has Manage Roles, and move it above the specific roles it needs to assign. Discord’s role hierarchy prevents bots from managing roles above their own. If you use a personalized MEE6 bot, check that bot’s role instead of the original MEE6 role. Avoid granting Administrator permission by default when a narrower permission is sufficient.
4. Members do not gain XP or receive level rewards
Inspect the Levels plugin’s no-XP channels and roles, the role reward settings, and whether the relevant feature is available under your subscription. A bot that can send messages may still be unable to award a Discord role because message permissions and role-management permissions are different.
5. Moderation actions fail for certain users
Check the Moderator plugin, command-specific restrictions, and the target member’s role position. Higher-level roles and administrative permissions affect what a bot is allowed to do. Test with a low-risk account rather than trying moderation commands on real members without warning.
Is MEE6 free or Premium?
MEE6 has a free entry point, but important features and expanded customization are gated behind Premium or separate add-ons. For example, MEE6’s own support pages describe its Moderator plugin and automatic welcome-role assignment as Premium features. The Bot Personalizer has additional subscription requirements. Prices and plan bundles can change, so use the official MEE6 pricing page rather than an old screenshot or a third-party price list.
Before paying, list the features your server needs: moderation, XP rewards, welcome roles, custom commands, and any personalized bot branding. Compare that list with the current plan details. If your goal is only a basic welcome message or a simple utility command, verify whether a paid feature is truly necessary.
Best-practice checklist for server owners
- Use the official MEE6 dashboard and verify the Discord authorization screen.
- Enable plugins selectively, not all at once.
- Use a dedicated test channel to validate commands and welcome messages.
- Grant only the Discord permissions a feature needs.
- Keep MEE6’s role above the roles it must assign, but do not give it unnecessary control over administrator roles.
- Review command access for moderators and ordinary members separately.
- Revisit your configuration after changing server roles, subscription plans, or Discord permissions.
If you are troubleshooting Discord itself rather than the bot, AVARIXO also has guides to check whether Discord is down, fix mobile notifications, and share your screen on Discord.
Frequently asked questions
How do I invite MEE6 to my Discord server?
Open the official MEE6 dashboard, sign in with an administrator account, select your server, and follow the Setup and Discord authorization prompts. Then enable the plugins you need.
Why can’t I see my server on MEE6?
The most common first check is whether you are signed in with the right Discord account and have the necessary server access. See the official server-list help page before changing permissions.
Why won’t MEE6 give members roles?
The bot needs Manage Roles permission and must sit above the target role in the Discord hierarchy. Also verify the feature is enabled and your plan supports it.
Does MEE6 use slash commands?
Yes, but individual slash commands must be available and enabled for your server. Check the dashboard and Discord Integrations settings if they are missing.
Can MEE6 work without Premium?
Some functions are available without Premium, while others require payment. Check each plugin’s current availability before building your server around it.
Is MEE6 an official Discord bot?
MEE6 is a third-party Discord bot, not Discord’s own support service. Install it only through the official MEE6 website and review its requested permissions.
Editorial note: Verified against MEE6’s published support documentation on October 12, 2026. Dashboard labels, feature access, and prices may change.
