FAQPage Schema
How do I connect an external Claude Code session to a team for real-time messaging?

To enable real-time messaging, bridge your session into an existing Claude Code team as an external member by running the bridge with the team and member names, which connects you to the team's inboxes.

How does team messaging work across multiple Claude Code sessions?

Team messaging across sessions works by using cmux to enable interactive teammate messaging, allowing a bridged external member to access team inboxes and communicate in real time through background operations.

What is needed to join an existing Claude Code team session as an external member?

Joining a Claude Code team session requires the team configuration, the bridge scripts, and the underlying Python utilities to manage joining, bridging, and background operation.

Can I run team collaboration messaging in the background while working in Claude Code?

Yes, the bridge enables lightweight, background operation for team collaboration, allowing you to start and manage a bridge to the team's inboxes without interrupting your primary Claude Code session.

Are checkpoint hooks available for team collaboration handoffs in Claude Code?

Yes, the bridge provides quick-reference tools and optional checkpoint hooks to streamline collaboration and manage handoffs when bridging sessions into a Claude Code team.

What are the limitations of bridging a session into a Claude Code team?

The bridge is limited to operating within existing Claude Code team configurations and requires underlying Python utilities and cmux, meaning it functions strictly as an external member connection rather than a standalone messaging client.
