Social layer for Claude Code - DMs, presence, discovery, and games between AI-assisted developers
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
slashvibe-mcpclaude mcp add vibe-mcp -- npx -y slashvibe-mcp@0.3.26
{
"mcpServers": {
"vibe-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"slashvibe-mcp@0.3.26"
]
}
}
}

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-mcp
It 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 install
The 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 uninstall
Manual 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.
