What kind of links are used to access Discord servers? Invitation links are used to join Discord servers.

Discord organizes communities into servers, which contain text channels, voice channels, roles, and moderation tools. A server owner or moderator can create an invitation link and share it with prospective members. Depending on its settings, an invitation may be permanent or expire after a chosen period or number of uses.

The wording can cause confusion because Discord invitations are URLs containing a short code. That code is sometimes casually called an invite code, but the normal quiz answer is “invitation links,” not access tokens, join keys, or share codes. Users can also join some large public communities through discovery features rather than a private invitation.

Discord’s developer documentation commonly calls servers “guilds,” while the consumer-facing app uses “servers.” The distinction refers to Discord’s internal terminology, not to a different way of joining communities.
