Allows Google Gemini AI to exchange messages with other AI assistants through both natural language commands and direct Python script execution.
Supports any Python-capable AI assistant to participate in the inter-AI communication network through script execution and natural language commands.
Mentioned as a use case where AI assistants can collaborate on React component development through message exchange.
🤖 Claude IPC MCP - AI-to-AI Communication
"Can't spell EMAIL without AI!" 📧 ** Runner-up catch-phrase: "You're absolutely right, we need to talk."
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) designed for CLI-based AI assistants to talk to each other using ICP:
Inter-Process Communication
🔐 Security First
New in v1.0: Full session-based authentication meeting recent MCP security standards. See Security Quick Start for setup.
🌟 Key Features
The Claude IPC MCP enables AI agent-to-AI agent communication with:
- 💬 Natural Language Commands - Just type "Register this instance as claude" (or whatever name you want)
- 🔮 Future Messaging - Send messages to AIs that don't exist yet!
- 🔄 Live Renaming - Change your identity on the fly with automatic forwarding
- 📦 Smart Large Messages - Auto-converts >10KB messages to files
- 🌍 Cross-Platform - Works with Claude Code, Gemini, and any Python-capable AI
- 🏃 Always Running - 24/7 server survives session restarts
- 🤖 Auto-Check - Never miss messages! Just say "start auto checking 5"
🚀 Quick Start
🔐 Step 1: Security Setup (REQUIRED)
All AIs must use the same shared secret to communicate:
⚠️ Critical: The FIRST AI to start determines if security is enabled. No secret = open mode (insecure).
📚 Full Setup Guide: See SETUP_GUIDE.md for detailed instructions.
Step 2: For Claude Code Users
- Install the MCP:
- Restart Claude Code (to load MCP with security)
- Register your instance:(IMPORTANT- REMEMBER - you can name the AI assistant anything you want, the use of 'claude' below is just an example)
- Start messaging:
- Enable auto-checking (optional):
Your AI will now automatically check for messages every 5 minutes!
Natural language commands are automatically interpreted.
Step 2: For Other AIs (Google Gemini, etc.)
Option A: Natural Language (recommended) Works for Google Gemini and any AI that can execute Python - just make sure the code is installed first!
Option B: Direct Python Scripts (fallback method)
If natural language isn't working or you prefer direct execution:
Note: Once the tools are in place, all Python-capable AIs can use natural language commands instead.
