SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, bun, zod.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of integrating external systems like webhooks, chat platforms, or CI/CD pipelines into a long-lived, interactive Claude Code session, allowing the agent to react to real-time events while maintaining its working memory and tool context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bidirectional Communication: Enables Claude Code to receive external events via WebSockets or HTTP and respond using custom MCP tools.
  • Permission Relay: Allows users to approve or deny tool execution requests remotely from another device.
  • Use Case: Build a custom chat bridge that connects a Discord or Slack bot to a persistent Claude Code session, enabling the agent to participate in team discussions and execute tasks based on incoming messages.

Quick Start

Use the claude-channels skill to configure a new MCP server that bridges your local webhook listener to a running Claude Code interactive session.

Frequently Asked Questions about claude-channels

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate external webhooks into a persistent Claude Code session?▼

You can integrate external webhooks into a persistent Claude Code session by configuring an MCP server to bridge real-time HTTP or WebSocket events directly into the agent's interactive context.

Can I approve Claude Code tool execution remotely from another device?▼

Yes, you can approve or deny Claude Code tool execution remotely by using the permission relay feature, which routes tool-use approval requests through external event channels.

Does the Model Context Protocol support bidirectional communication for automated agent workflows?▼

The Model Context Protocol supports bidirectional communication for automated agent workflows by facilitating real-time event handling and custom tool responses within long-lived interactive sessions.

What runtimes are compatible with the Model Context Protocol SDK for managing external event channels?▼

Compatible runtimes for managing external event channels with the Model Context Protocol SDK include Bun, Node.js, and Deno, which are required to manage the MCP server lifecycle.

How do I connect a Discord or Slack chat bot to a long-lived Claude Code agent?▼

To connect a Discord or Slack chat bot to a long-lived Claude Code agent, build a custom chat bridge using WebSockets or HTTP to pass incoming messages into the persistent session.

What are the limitations of using WebSockets to bridge external systems into Claude Code?▼

Limitations of using WebSockets to bridge external systems include the requirement of a compatible runtime like Bun to manage the MCP server lifecycle and maintain active session persistence.
