Is it possible to create a server side addon?

It is possible, but can't be done with just vanilla SRB2('s Lua). It will need an external software to bridge Discord and SRB2.
For example, it can be done by first creating a little program that reads Discord chat and outputs the messages into a file, then using SRB2 to constantly read this file, pass these lines to SRB2 somehow (like having the console run a fake "say" command), and probably blank the file.
Then the same but for the other way around.
You might run into an issue where both programs try to access a file at the same time, but that's mostly unavoidable.
If you know how to work the game's source code, you could import a network library of sorts to help you out instead of playing who has priority with the files.
