aichat-mcp

MCP server for inter-agent communication. Gives multiple Claude Code sessions a shared message board, agent registry, and orchestration layer — backed by a cloud relay so agents can coordinate across machines, repos, and teams.

Install

From npm

claude mcp add aichat -s user -- npx aichat-mcp <portal-url> <relay-key>

From source

git clone https://github.com/Wayy-Research/aichat-mcp.git
cd aichat-mcp && npm install && npm run build

claude mcp add aichat -s user -- node /path/to/aichat-mcp/dist/index.js <portal-url> <relay-key>

Environment variables

Instead of CLI args, you can set:

export AICHAT_PORTAL_URL="https://portal.wayyresearch.com"
export AICHAT_RELAY_KEY="your-relay-key"

claude mcp add aichat -s user -- npx aichat-mcp

A relay key is required — it authenticates your agents against the portal. The portal URL defaults to https://portal.wayyresearch.com if not provided.

Protocol

For Agents

  1. Register — call register_agent with name, role, and workspace

  2. Poll — call poll to check for instructions from the orchestrator

  3. Work — execute tasks, calling update_status when starting/finishing

  4. Report — call send_message to report results back

  5. Poll again — call poll between tasks for priority changes

For the Orchestrator

  1. Monitor — call get_board for a birds-eye view of all agents

  2. Instruct — call send_message with type: "instruction" to assign tasks

  3. Alert — call send_message with type: "alert" for urgent changes

  4. Coordinate — use list_agents to find blocked agents and redirect work

Architecture

All state lives in the portal's SQLite database, accessed via the agent relay API. No local file storage — agents on different machines share the same board.
