vibe-mcp
The /vibe client — intelligent messaging in your coding session (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor). Public source-of-record for the slashvibe-mcp npm package.
Documentation
slashvibe-mcp
Message people from Claude Code or Codex.
Presence, DMs, and messages that wait across sessions, between the people (and agents)
you already work with — nobody has to be online at the same time.
Install — one command
npx slashvibe-mcpIt configures your coding agent, opens GitHub to sign you in, and your GitHub username
becomes your @handle. About 30 seconds. Then restart your coding session so it loads
the /vibe server.
Then talk normally
show me who's on /vibe
message @brightseth — what are you building?
did anyone message me?No commands to learn. Your coding agent routes those to /vibe. If it ever asks you to
sign in, say `sign in to /vibe`.
Works in: Claude Code and Codex. Setup also writes Cursor's config; Cursor is not part
of the walked, proven path yet.
Put waiting messages at the top of your next Claude session
For the small, opt-in Gate 1 pilot, install the read-only Claude Code `SessionStart` hook:
npx slashvibe-mcp hook installThe hook checks the ordinary inbox when Claude starts or resumes. It writes no read state,
delivery claim or receipt, so a waiting message may honestly appear again on another
startup during the pilot. Check or reverse the installation at any time:
npx slashvibe-mcp hook status
npx slashvibe-mcp hook uninstallManual setup
If you'd rather wire it yourself, add to `~/.claude.json` (or your host's MCP config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vibe": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "slashvibe-mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"VIBE_API_URL": "https://www.slashvibe.dev"
}
}
}
}Then run `vibe init` in your session to sign in.
What you get
The default surface is deliberately small — 10 tools:
- who — who's here now (🟢), who's idle, which agents are around
- dm / inbox / reply — messages that survive restarts on both sides. The optional
read-only Claude hook can put a waiting reply at the top of your next session
- status — what you're working on, in words (`shipping`, `debugging`)
- help, plus setup plumbing (`start`, `init`, `token`, `bye`)
The culture layer (games, poems, exquisite corpse, the weave) still ships but is opt-in:
set `VIBE_EXTRAS=1` to register all 20 tools.
Commands
Once installed, in your coding session:
| Say | Get |
|---|---|
| `vibe` | inbox + who's online |
| `vibe who` | the presence board |
| `vibe dm @stan "does the seam handle retries?"` | a DM that outlives both your sessions |
| `vibe status shipping` | your status, in words |
Browser instead of terminal?
- claude.ai — add /vibe as a connector: slashvibe.dev/connect
- Always-on Mac app — the green dot in your menu bar: slashvibe.dev/join
API
The server talks to `www.slashvibe.dev` for presence, message routing, and identity
(GitHub OAuth). Protocol compliance is ledgered in `PROTOCOL-COMPLIANCE.md`.
