  Gemini has similar bug https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/1028 https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/1028, that essentially made this tool absolutely unusable for me. Never had this problem with Claude tho. Must be something environment-specific.
- dmd 7mo ago
  Weird. I see lots of people in that thread have this issue, but I personally can’t reproduce it at all, and I just spent an hour trying.
- Klaster_1 7mo ago
  This came up recently when I asked Claude to adjust indentation and it just couldn't. Such a stupid issue.
alexjurkiewicz 7mo ago
Claude is leaning into the idea of a local "session" being the host where everything connects. I guess this makes sense for now. You can build integrations leveraging the user's personal access credentials. Later, once Claude takes over the world, they can move sessions to live in their own walled garden.
- clcaev 7mo ago
  I'd like Claude on IOS to pull/commit from a private git repository for Markdown and ideally drawio diagram editing.
  - fzzzy 7mo ago
    It can. Go to the code tab, choose your repo, and have it write an image file to disk. If you tell it to read it, it should show in the chat. It works on the web version so hopefully it works on ios.
  - bakies 7mo ago
    Claude Code for the web would be able to do that
- ttul 7mo ago
  They certainly are. And this is likely to some degree a response to enterprise security desires. Enterprise endpoints are locked down already - no need for extra external API security if it’s just the user’s desktop communication as usual.
  - CorpOverreach 7mo ago
    I feel like this is absolutely not the case. Our corporate infosec guys are freaking out, as developers and general users alike are finding all new ways to poke holes in literally everything. We're finding out quickly that enterprise endpoints are not locked down anywhere near enough, and the stuff that users are creating on the local endpoints is quickly outpacing the rate at which SOC teams can investigate what's going on. If you're using Claude via Anthropic's SaaS service it's near impossible to collect logs of what actually happened in a user's session. We happen to proxy Claude Code usage through Amazon Bedrock and the Bedrock logs have already proven to be instrumental in figuring out what led a user to having repeated attempts to install software that they wouldn't have otherwise attempted to install - all because they turned their brains off and started accepting every Claude Code prompt to install random stuff. Sandboxing works to an extent, but it's a really difficult balance to strike between locking it down so much that you neuter the tool and having a reasonable security policy.
    - tharkun__ 7mo ago
      Oh so much this, in a sense. Look, as a software dev myself, I really like that my company lets us use our computers the way we see fit. Pre- or post-AI with no restrictive lockdown. Been there, hated that. But I totally get the freaking out over "normal devs". The amount of stuff most people think is reasonable, AI or not, is mind boggling. For myself of course I like to just be able to be responsible myself. But as a security team I'd also be freaking out. Like, the amount of people that find our super boring, totally corporate "security training videos", helpful and insightful and "oh dang I'd never have thought of that!" is mind boggling all by itself. Never mind any actual security training that'd be useful to someone with half a brain. You can literally just click through the 8+ hours of stuff you're supposed to watch / answer / do in 30 minutes.

  thats how Amazon worked its MCP setup - got everything onto oauth tokens, and then the harness knows how to to access the token to get permissions to whatever the user has. the bad part is setting separate permissions for different user tokens
  - anentropic 7mo ago
    The auth mess is part of why I don't use the AWS MCP Also because the aws cli works better, just add an instruction like this to your agents file: > When performing aws cli commands in terminal always use the `--no-cli-pager` flag to avoid interactive pagination.
ewidar 7mo ago
What these 'channels' do is essentially why I was running a nanoclaw at work: triggering a claude code based on events and getting feedback/review/analysis which nicely closes the loop with other agents. Not sure why it has to be an mcp, but will be trying this out asap.

  i dont like this class of criticism. mostly because i find myself do it alot. it doesnt matter if the tool used is simple, if it generates value then its a good idea what should this fallacy be called? ad implementum? ad modum?

Interesting to see it took them so long to implement this. Claude was super limiting without the ability to have a scheduler or a connection to events
mmaunder 7mo ago
This feels like a response to openclaw (and openai's hiring of the lead).
vessenes 7mo ago
This looks super super useful.. I'm making an agent to agent chat tool (that I think is actually ready for testing, so please check it out) -- https://chat.corpo.llc/ https://chat.corpo.llc/ or https://github.com/corpo/qntm https://github.com/corpo/qntm -- and the difficulty of getting claude to check and respond to messages is real. Basically the Claude CLI is the operating system is the product vibe I get right now.
- mixtureoftakes 7mo ago
  github unavailable; what you think would be the primary usecase for agent to agent chat?
  - vessenes 7mo ago
    Dang it, I wrote the wrong link. https://github.com/corpollc/qntm https://github.com/corpollc/qntm I wrote it originally because I wanted my openclaw install to talk to my assistant's openclaw, and my openclaws that were local at different houses. It's morphed a lot since then, and is close to being super useful -- it allows group chat, and is close to having a realistic API call on threshold vote gateway system built in. That stuff is built to support Corpo's main business model which is providing real world asset and governance access to agents. So, for example, I think agents might like to vote on sending a wire transfer by approving a specific mercury bank API call. I could go on. You can also use it to remotely chat to an agent across firewalls - it's pull / poll only. And if anyone is interested, I made an HN Group chat: https://chat.corpo.llc/?invite=p2F2AWR0eXBlZmRpcmVjdGVzdWl0ZWVRU1AtMWdjb252X2lkUKxMp8vM07RaNhx2ZPAzPSRraW52aXRlX3NhbHRYILFLcojjdBFtd7YWK-DJMirXcwvdCOPoPET_SdbPXFabbWludml0ZV9zZWNyZXRYIFlBnjIDNkfSo8CtQiKI9KGpCNnxi5-gu_zlF_fNdOV3bWludml0ZXJfaWtfcGtYIMpneGT7LZQTi30VhVMl1heaTZeBoRYbBL1B3DyWnLJZ https://chat.corpo.llc/?invite=p2F2AWR0eXBlZmRpcmVjdGVzdWl0Z...

      Yeah, sorry I dont know a single engineer working outside of web development, on serious problems (that arent machine learning related) that think this about llm produced code. The people saying this have already fried their engineering intuition by using agents (if they had any before) and are probably writing http handlers and identical (to every other llm generated) frontend landing pages all day everyday, for their next "indie SaaS product" (thats definitely not the 500th version of that product). You're doing magic tricks on yourself, the equivalent of a toddler being entertained by the sound their vecro shoes make.

I was a little surprised to see a Telegram integration rather than Slack or Teams, given Anthropic's enterprise-first posture. But then I looked it up, and it turns out Telegram dwarfs both, at around 1bn MAUs, vs 50m and 300m respectively! I had no idea - reminds me of the time I found out Snapchat has 2x the userbase of Twitter.
- jen729w 7mo ago
  Also, not a single one of those 300m Teams users wants to spend another minute there. Whereas people find Telegram useful and not odious.
  - pokegobots 7mo ago
    Back in the day, when I used to play pokemon go, there was a small local community and we would struggle to decide where to meet up for the daily raids because people would basically not respond (so as t not commit), or not know which gym each other meant exactly, nor give live updates when people moved around, etc. etc. Then I joined a group from a bigger city where I commuted for work. They had a telegram group chat with two "channels", one for talking, one for bot posts. The telegram bot could be sent a single screenshot of a raid, and it would use OCR to automatically generate an interactive UI for that raid for everyone to see, with all the relevant info, and it would also clear itself up when the raid is no longer relevant. You could press buttons to say you were going, that you MAYBE were going, if you were late, and if you already started/done it, all in single clicks. Tons of options, tons of information, all live updated. I was bedazzled. That feature singlehandedly removed all attrition from urban social gaming. And it was entirely grassroots. It made me try out making my own telegram bots, and yeah, you basically have the power to make a little app in chat form, even some that feel like CLI commands. It's been OVER HALF A DECADE and I have yet to see a single other chat application have that degree of freedom where it comes to applications and bots. Some like discord even did whole ass 100% reworks of their bot AP to support the likes of slash commands, and still fall short. And there's none worse than Teams. Teams hates you. Teams spent the prior 2 years before this one basically pointing a gun to our heads telling us they were removing webhooks and pushing back on it whenever they repeatedly get told that's the most insane and dogshit idea ever. And they still did it. There's just no spark in Teams UX. No self-respect. It's a soulless product made entirely as a dumping place of "synergy" with other M$ products. It's reciprocal, I hate it too. Oh and my local group never go into telegram because they didn't want a new app. It died, but I still kept playing after work without problem. It makes me wonder how fast Teams would die if it wasn't proped up by 365 and Azure subscriptions.

subpixel 7mo ago
This is exactly what I planned to figure out how to do: maintain an instance of Claude that can accept triggers that become tasks.
killme2008 7mo ago
Claude caught up pretty quickly. I think OpenClaw’s core value is the channel, heartbeat, and the open-source ecosystem.
- sanex 7mo ago
  And unfortunately I think hearbeats are a little cost prohibitive. I burn through my plus plan with half hour cadence heartbeats checking email.
  - djeastm 7mo ago
    Heartbeat should be set to be a cheaper model.
  - theshrike79 7mo ago
    All *Claw implementations should use a local model for heartbeat, it doesn't need to do anything complex, pretty much just read a text file and do a true/false decision if there's something in there to do when it wakes up. If so, it can either just shove the full heartbeat file to a smarter model or try to intelligently spread the tasks to the correct models.
- operatingthetan 7mo ago
  I would rather they build something similar to openclaw than all these individual features that replicate functionality.
  - gusmally 7mo ago
    Maybe it's less risk for them to offer the individual features. That way if people get inadvertent results, it's easier to blame the user, not the tool/company
- tekacs 7mo ago
  I mean you can just use /loop in both Claude Code and Codex for heartbeats.
- 7mo ago
luckydata 7mo ago
finally! I'm building an app that's essentially a "sidecar" to an llm subscription and works via mcp and has a web ui to make reviewing deliverables easier, uses the user's subscription for intelligence instead of requiring to pay for tokens inside the app. The problem until now is I couldn't trigger AI work from the web ui, that limitation will be soon gone, it fixes a huge ux issue for me, I honestly thought it would happen sooner but I'm glad the industry is catching up.

I was making a telegram to Claude via tmux capture-pane and send-keys, this will be so much nicer. Also sounds like something that addresses some of what Steve Yegge said was missing for agent to agent communication as well.
- TIPSIO 7mo ago
  This was my setup exactly, I open sourced a framework of it a while ago: - https://clappie.ai https://clappie.ai Plus it gives a little ASCII dog to Claude Code terminal. The ability to spawn independent CLI is awesome. No brainer they would add eventually between the great threaded functionality it brings and is essentially a more controlled version of OpenClaw IMO
- jasonjmcghee 7mo ago
  This isn't quite as good unfortunately- you can't accept / deny permissions prompts. Maybe there should be a Claude code that facilitates others that is connected. Like sub agents but can "choose what to do" on permissions check. Or some other means to listen for permissions check
ed_mercer 7mo ago
I don't understand how this can be economically viable. If this takes off, it will allow businesses to use openclaw-like functionality at non-api prices (pro, max).
- tpt2 7mo ago
  Do you know for sure if the pro / max plans are unprofitable at full usage? I did a brief back of the envelope calculation for minimax m2.5 comparing its api pricing to my token usage on a full quota max 20x Claude plan, it worked out around 260 ish which assuming some margin would put the Claude max around breakeven.
  - CuriouslyC 7mo ago
    Anthropic previously shared that they make ~60% margin on API access. So they're losing money on plan whales.
  - levocardia 7mo ago
    It doesn't matter if they are unprofitable at full usage, as long as there are enough users (like me!) who barely ever max out but still pay the $100/month. The people who love Claude Code enough to max out the 20x plan every day, that's probably the best influencer marketing campaign you could ever buy anyways.
aantix 7mo ago
Imagine if they were able to support iMessage.
- miki_oomiri 7mo ago
  Bluebubble is the way to go for this. I've created an iCloud account for my llm. On my Mac, I created another user account, not an admin, just regular. Linked to the iCloud account. Installed Bluebubble. And now I can chat with my AI via iMessage, via my Apple watch, or my homepods. It works beautifully.
  - Skidaddle 7mo ago
    Can you give an example of why this is better than the iOS Claude app?
_pdp_ 7mo ago
Very cool! However, once remote capabilities are added to any software, it is virtually guaranteed that they will eventually be exploited as backdoors. This means enterprise security solutions will need to develop the capability to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate Claude Code instances.
random17 7mo ago
I've been looking to build something similar to this so this is very timely! What I wanted to build is a way for Claude Code to automatically receive reviews and CP failures from a Github PR and automatically revise code and respond to comments. It looks like with a custom Github PR channel I can get very close to this, although I do wish that a channel can be opened in a running session instead of having to create a new one. Hopefully they add that soon.
- t0mas88 7mo ago
  I did this for Forgejo, now adding Gitlab and planning Github as well: https://github.com/smithy-ai/smithy-ai https://github.com/smithy-ai/smithy-ai It runs Claude in docker containers, listens for webhooks to see comments and CI status.
dbbk 7mo ago
It would have surely taken less time to just set up notifications for the Claude Code app? Are they ever going to do this? It's baffling to me that they're just skipping over letting you know when a task is completed... this is basic stuff.
- gondo 7mo ago
  What notifications are you missing specifically? Personally I’m receiving native macOS notifications from Claude (both the app and the CLI), and there’s also the hook system, which you can script to send even more custom notifications. What am I missing?
  - fzzzy 7mo ago
    They appear to get turned on but then just never work on iOS for me. Hooks work fine, I use it to get a beep.
  - dbbk 7mo ago
    Anything to do with Code. Not on Mac or iOS, and not with local sessions or cloud sessions. Normal Claude chats send notifications fine.
    - justech 7mo ago
      Do you have notifications turned on for your terminal app? I never received notifications from Claude Code until I moved to a new machine and remember explicitly allowing notifications from Ghostty.
      - dbbk 7mo ago
        I’m talking about server side push
- _betty_ 7mo ago
  isn't that a completely different use case? messages to Claude from other sources vs from Claude when it's finished? hooks can already alert you and have flexibility
anthonySs 7mo ago

vrosas 7mo ago
I also get the impression this is way more complicated than it needs to be. Or maybe it's simple and they keep inventing new terminology for stuff that basically already exists. The crypto bros did the same shit. Like, bidirectional communication has been a thing for decades. We're just changing what we call the client and the server? And the protocol is just strings the bot on the other end is a little better at reading?

sidgtm 7mo ago
It’s quite basic if I am using it correctly! It expects certain commands to be still approved on main machine.

  You can remove the requirements for specific commands in settings.json, or run claude with the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag. It's dangerous tho.
wewewedxfgdf 7mo ago
I enabled the github connector in claude web interface. I presumed Claude would then be able to clone repos, make commits, update the code in its container and then write it back to github. Instead, the github connector does ..... nothing it all. It's very weird.
- fzzzy 7mo ago
  It can do all those things from the claude code web version.
  - wewewedxfgdf 7mo ago
    Quote: "i enabled github connector can you see it?" Answer: "I don't see a GitHub connector in the available integrations. The search only returned a Microsoft Learn connector (not connected). It's possible the connector hasn't fully activated yet, or it may not be available in your current setup. Could you double-check in Settings → Integrations that it shows as connected?" Multiple such checks and re-setups do nothing.
    - fzzzy 7mo ago
      It doesn't work that way. When you start a new claude code session, you choose a GitHub repo, and it will automatically create a branch and push over the course of the session. It's not an actual MCP. It's just built into the UI. Anthropic has a lot of stuff that's way more difficult to use because of bad UI, spread over lots of different places.
      - wewewedxfgdf 7mo ago
        I am using the Claude web UI not Claude Code.
        fzzzy 7mo ago
        Yes. I described how it works in the web ui. Do you not see where it lets you choose a github repo?
mberg 7mo ago
I just created agent-http that leverages the channels feature to enable you to wrap claude code with a http api. This provides an identical API to Agent API (https://github.com/coder/agentapi https://github.com/coder/agentapi) that relies on terminal scraping to achieve this. Now you can interact with claude code in a headless manner using your subscription. Previously I think you had to do this via the Agents SDK which relies on api token use.

Does anyone else have issues opening Claude.com domains on iOS? It’s infuriating I can never open documentation or the usage page or account management portal on iOS on Safari. Works fine on a laptop. Mac, Windows, or Linux.
nlawalker 7mo ago
It’s going to be fascinating to see what kinds of malicious execution and exfiltration this enables.
ericlevine 7mo ago
This is fantastic. There are a ton of use cases where you'd want to be able to build an integration that hooks back to your running agent session. OpenClaw has this today, but it's pretty janky. Hopefully this is coming to Claude Cowork as well. My use case is that I have a separate system that provides human approvals for what my agent can do. Right now, I've had to resort to long-polling to give a halfway decent user experience. But webhooks are clearly the right solution. Curious to see how it ends up being exposed outside of these initial integrations.

The convenient thing about using Claude via Telegram is that you can provide all of your private and proprietary information to US intelligence and Russian intelligence at the same time. (Telegram is not end to end encrypted.)

  - sneak 7mo ago
    The e2ee you can “enable” is a homemade custom cipher and cryptosystem. There are no open source implementations. I have no evidence that Telegram is an FSB honeypot. What I do know is that if the FSB had a honeypot chat platform, it would look and function exactly the way Telegram does.

resonious 7mo ago
This is the first time I've seen MCP's push capabilities come in handy. I'm not much of an MCP nerd though so I don't know much. But when I read the spec it looked extremely over engineered partly because of the 2 way nature of it.
- tekacs 7mo ago
  Unfortunately, we're all stuck moving at the speed of the model labs because of the subscription models that they've provided. The rest of us were able to implement things like push a long time ago, but because Claude Code and Codex stubbed those things out, we couldn't really use them for 'most agent users'. In fairness to OpenAI, they have been generous in allowing for example OpenCode to sign in with your ChatGPT subscription – so you _could_ build a more powerful agent (which OpenCode is... not) – but unfortunately GPTs' instruction following just isn't up to snuff yet. Hopefully they pre-train something amazing this year!
crashabr 7mo ago
Honestly not sure what I would be using this for when there's Claude remote control? Is it because you can script the telegram bot to send messages at regular intervals? But Claude has a /loop as well, so I'm still confused.
- Galanwe 7mo ago
  Remote Control is buggy a hell, the websocket keeps disconnecting every 10 minutes. And the UI is unusable on mobile.
- jon-wood 7mo ago
  The Telegram bot is just an example (and I guess a subtle jab at Openclaw, which people tend to use via Telegram). Personally I'm hoping to set this up so it can receive Github webhooks when a pull request opened by Claude Code receives comments.
- xngbuilds 7mo ago
  You can't send an image for example from Claude iOS app to remote control session. With this new channels the attachment you send from Telegram bot is saved into your local Telegram inbox folder ready for you to process.
rcarmo 7mo ago
I’m struggling with how useful this is in an enterprise setting where a security team will be at least slightly annoyed at devs hooking into their personal machines via untrusted chat… but OK, I guess.

vanillameow 7mo ago
I am not sure how I feel about all these hype-driven tools honestly, especially considering they are super janky since probably rushed out with Claude Code. It reminds me that I don't really like Anthropic as a company, I just like Claude as a model a lot. It just feels more capable and personable than the others. I wonder if / when OpenAI et al. will be able to replicate it. For now, I basically have no choice but to use the walled garden but I do hope Anthropic is not completely compromising their core mission of actually making the model better rather than following these public bandwagons. Then again most of these probably take them like a day to develop through a junior dev talking to Claude Opus 5 or some shit lol (and to be fair, it shows). I don't know.

This is one of those features that sounds small but actually changes how you structure things. Not having to restart or rebuild context every time makes a big difference once systems get more stateful.
tomasz-tomczyk 7mo ago
I like it but it's one conversation at a time, no ability to manually compact the chat... I guess it's an early version still.
- jasonjmcghee 7mo ago
  I don't see this said anywhere - maybe I missed it. Why is it only one conversation at a time? Couldn't you have multiple sessions using different plugins or whatever?
  - tomasz-tomczyk 7mo ago
    Well, it's one conversation per bot. I set it up, connected the channel. DM'd it (only way to converse with it - wish I could have a Discord channel per project, different CWDs etc...) and asked what happens when I start 2 claude sessions connected to the channel and it said it'll just work with one. Suppose you could have multiple bots, but it looks like it only supports one bot token anyway.
    - jon-wood 7mo ago
      This is an API designed to build connectors, there's absolutely nothing preventing you from building one that connects to Discord and listens to a different channel for each instance.
    - jasonjmcghee 7mo ago
      I think they gave two sample implementations to demonstrate it. I'm guessing their expecting the community to run with it
zknill 7mo ago
This is actually great for *claws. When Anthropic changed their T&Cs to disallow using claude code oauth tokens in the Anthropic Agent SDK, you had a choice between violate the terms or pay a lot more for the model inference using an API key from platform.claude.com instead of claude.ai. With this change, it looks like an officially sanctioned version of *claws. Connecting to whatever "channels" you want via MCP. Architecturally it's a little different, most *claws would call the Agent SDK from some orchestrator, but with claude channels the claude code binary starts the MCP server used to communicate with the channel. So it's a full inversion of control where Claude code is the driver, instead of your orchestrator code. I updated my nanoclaw fork to start the claude code binary in a docker container on PID 1, and you can read the docker logs straight from claude code stdout, but with comms directly to/from your channel of choice. It's pretty neat.

I was reading through CC MCPs docs ... MCP Notifications kind of did this right? The server/client could update each other automatically. So there was already this channel-like communication. This is like that but instead of the server/client sending messages it's you.

Gemini has similar bug https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/1028 https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/1028, that essentially made this tool absolutely unusable for me. Never had this problem with Claude tho. Must be something environment-specific.

Weird. I see lots of people in that thread have this issue, but I personally can’t reproduce it at all, and I just spent an hour trying.
Klaster_1 7mo ago
This came up recently when I asked Claude to adjust indentation and it just couldn't. Such a stupid issue.

alexjurkiewicz 7mo ago

Claude is leaning into the idea of a local "session" being the host where everything connects. I guess this makes sense for now. You can build integrations leveraging the user's personal access credentials. Later, once Claude takes over the world, they can move sessions to live in their own walled garden.

clcaev 7mo ago
I'd like Claude on IOS to pull/commit from a private git repository for Markdown and ideally drawio diagram editing.
- fzzzy 7mo ago
  It can. Go to the code tab, choose your repo, and have it write an image file to disk. If you tell it to read it, it should show in the chat. It works on the web version so hopefully it works on ios.
- bakies 7mo ago
  Claude Code for the web would be able to do that
ttul 7mo ago
They certainly are. And this is likely to some degree a response to enterprise security desires. Enterprise endpoints are locked down already - no need for extra external API security if it’s just the user’s desktop communication as usual.
- CorpOverreach 7mo ago
  I feel like this is absolutely not the case. Our corporate infosec guys are freaking out, as developers and general users alike are finding all new ways to poke holes in literally everything. We're finding out quickly that enterprise endpoints are not locked down anywhere near enough, and the stuff that users are creating on the local endpoints is quickly outpacing the rate at which SOC teams can investigate what's going on. If you're using Claude via Anthropic's SaaS service it's near impossible to collect logs of what actually happened in a user's session. We happen to proxy Claude Code usage through Amazon Bedrock and the Bedrock logs have already proven to be instrumental in figuring out what led a user to having repeated attempts to install software that they wouldn't have otherwise attempted to install - all because they turned their brains off and started accepting every Claude Code prompt to install random stuff. Sandboxing works to an extent, but it's a really difficult balance to strike between locking it down so much that you neuter the tool and having a reasonable security policy.
  - tharkun__ 7mo ago
    Oh so much this, in a sense. Look, as a software dev myself, I really like that my company lets us use our computers the way we see fit. Pre- or post-AI with no restrictive lockdown. Been there, hated that. But I totally get the freaking out over "normal devs". The amount of stuff most people think is reasonable, AI or not, is mind boggling. For myself of course I like to just be able to be responsible myself. But as a security team I'd also be freaking out. Like, the amount of people that find our super boring, totally corporate "security training videos", helpful and insightful and "oh dang I'd never have thought of that!" is mind boggling all by itself. Never mind any actual security training that'd be useful to someone with half a brain. You can literally just click through the 8+ hours of stuff you're supposed to watch / answer / do in 30 minutes.

thats how Amazon worked its MCP setup - got everything onto oauth tokens, and then the harness knows how to to access the token to get permissions to whatever the user has. the bad part is setting separate permissions for different user tokens
- anentropic 7mo ago
  The auth mess is part of why I don't use the AWS MCP Also because the aws cli works better, just add an instruction like this to your agents file: > When performing aws cli commands in terminal always use the `--no-cli-pager` flag to avoid interactive pagination.

ewidar 7mo ago

What these 'channels' do is essentially why I was running a nanoclaw at work: triggering a claude code based on events and getting feedback/review/analysis which nicely closes the loop with other agents. Not sure why it has to be an mcp, but will be trying this out asap.

vessenes 7mo ago

This looks super super useful.. I'm making an agent to agent chat tool (that I think is actually ready for testing, so please check it out) -- https://chat.corpo.llc/ https://chat.corpo.llc/ or https://github.com/corpo/qntm https://github.com/corpo/qntm -- and the difficulty of getting claude to check and respond to messages is real. Basically the Claude CLI is the operating system is the product vibe I get right now.

mixtureoftakes 7mo ago
github unavailable; what you think would be the primary usecase for agent to agent chat?
- vessenes 7mo ago
  Dang it, I wrote the wrong link. https://github.com/corpollc/qntm https://github.com/corpollc/qntm I wrote it originally because I wanted my openclaw install to talk to my assistant's openclaw, and my openclaws that were local at different houses. It's morphed a lot since then, and is close to being super useful -- it allows group chat, and is close to having a realistic API call on threshold vote gateway system built in. That stuff is built to support Corpo's main business model which is providing real world asset and governance access to agents. So, for example, I think agents might like to vote on sending a wire transfer by approving a specific mercury bank API call. I could go on. You can also use it to remotely chat to an agent across firewalls - it's pull / poll only. And if anyone is interested, I made an HN Group chat: https://chat.corpo.llc/?invite=p2F2AWR0eXBlZmRpcmVjdGVzdWl0ZWVRU1AtMWdjb252X2lkUKxMp8vM07RaNhx2ZPAzPSRraW52aXRlX3NhbHRYILFLcojjdBFtd7YWK-DJMirXcwvdCOPoPET_SdbPXFabbWludml0ZV9zZWNyZXRYIFlBnjIDNkfSo8CtQiKI9KGpCNnxi5-gu_zlF_fNdOV3bWludml0ZXJfaWtfcGtYIMpneGT7LZQTi30VhVMl1heaTZeBoRYbBL1B3DyWnLJZ https://chat.corpo.llc/?invite=p2F2AWR0eXBlZmRpcmVjdGVzdWl0Z...

I was a little surprised to see a Telegram integration rather than Slack or Teams, given Anthropic's enterprise-first posture. But then I looked it up, and it turns out Telegram dwarfs both, at around 1bn MAUs, vs 50m and 300m respectively! I had no idea - reminds me of the time I found out Snapchat has 2x the userbase of Twitter.

jen729w 7mo ago
Also, not a single one of those 300m Teams users wants to spend another minute there. Whereas people find Telegram useful and not odious.
- pokegobots 7mo ago
  Back in the day, when I used to play pokemon go, there was a small local community and we would struggle to decide where to meet up for the daily raids because people would basically not respond (so as t not commit), or not know which gym each other meant exactly, nor give live updates when people moved around, etc. etc. Then I joined a group from a bigger city where I commuted for work. They had a telegram group chat with two "channels", one for talking, one for bot posts. The telegram bot could be sent a single screenshot of a raid, and it would use OCR to automatically generate an interactive UI for that raid for everyone to see, with all the relevant info, and it would also clear itself up when the raid is no longer relevant. You could press buttons to say you were going, that you MAYBE were going, if you were late, and if you already started/done it, all in single clicks. Tons of options, tons of information, all live updated. I was bedazzled. That feature singlehandedly removed all attrition from urban social gaming. And it was entirely grassroots. It made me try out making my own telegram bots, and yeah, you basically have the power to make a little app in chat form, even some that feel like CLI commands. It's been OVER HALF A DECADE and I have yet to see a single other chat application have that degree of freedom where it comes to applications and bots. Some like discord even did whole ass 100% reworks of their bot AP to support the likes of slash commands, and still fall short. And there's none worse than Teams. Teams hates you. Teams spent the prior 2 years before this one basically pointing a gun to our heads telling us they were removing webhooks and pushing back on it whenever they repeatedly get told that's the most insane and dogshit idea ever. And they still did it. There's just no spark in Teams UX. No self-respect. It's a soulless product made entirely as a dumping place of "synergy" with other M$ products. It's reciprocal, I hate it too. Oh and my local group never go into telegram because they didn't want a new app. It died, but I still kept playing after work without problem. It makes me wonder how fast Teams would die if it wasn't proped up by 365 and Azure subscriptions.

- djeastm 7mo ago
  Heartbeat should be set to be a cheaper model.
- theshrike79 7mo ago
  All *Claw implementations should use a local model for heartbeat, it doesn't need to do anything complex, pretty much just read a text file and do a true/false decision if there's something in there to do when it wakes up. If so, it can either just shove the full heartbeat file to a smarter model or try to intelligently spread the tasks to the correct models.
operatingthetan 7mo ago

luckydata 7mo ago

finally! I'm building an app that's essentially a "sidecar" to an llm subscription and works via mcp and has a web ui to make reviewing deliverables easier, uses the user's subscription for intelligence instead of requiring to pay for tokens inside the app. The problem until now is I couldn't trigger AI work from the web ui, that limitation will be soon gone, it fixes a huge ux issue for me, I honestly thought it would happen sooner but I'm glad the industry is catching up.

I was making a telegram to Claude via tmux capture-pane and send-keys, this will be so much nicer. Also sounds like something that addresses some of what Steve Yegge said was missing for agent to agent communication as well.

TIPSIO 7mo ago
This was my setup exactly, I open sourced a framework of it a while ago: - https://clappie.ai https://clappie.ai Plus it gives a little ASCII dog to Claude Code terminal. The ability to spawn independent CLI is awesome. No brainer they would add eventually between the great threaded functionality it brings and is essentially a more controlled version of OpenClaw IMO
jasonjmcghee 7mo ago
This isn't quite as good unfortunately- you can't accept / deny permissions prompts. Maybe there should be a Claude code that facilitates others that is connected. Like sub agents but can "choose what to do" on permissions check. Or some other means to listen for permissions check

ed_mercer 7mo ago

I don't understand how this can be economically viable. If this takes off, it will allow businesses to use openclaw-like functionality at non-api prices (pro, max).

tpt2 7mo ago
Do you know for sure if the pro / max plans are unprofitable at full usage? I did a brief back of the envelope calculation for minimax m2.5 comparing its api pricing to my token usage on a full quota max 20x Claude plan, it worked out around 260 ish which assuming some margin would put the Claude max around breakeven.
- CuriouslyC 7mo ago
  Anthropic previously shared that they make ~60% margin on API access. So they're losing money on plan whales.
- levocardia 7mo ago
  It doesn't matter if they are unprofitable at full usage, as long as there are enough users (like me!) who barely ever max out but still pay the $100/month. The people who love Claude Code enough to max out the 20x plan every day, that's probably the best influencer marketing campaign you could ever buy anyways.

aantix 7mo ago

miki_oomiri 7mo ago
Bluebubble is the way to go for this. I've created an iCloud account for my llm. On my Mac, I created another user account, not an admin, just regular. Linked to the iCloud account.

- Skidaddle 7mo ago
  Can you give an example of why this is better than the iOS Claude app?

_pdp_ 7mo ago

Very cool! However, once remote capabilities are added to any software, it is virtually guaranteed that they will eventually be exploited as backdoors. This means enterprise security solutions will need to develop the capability to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate Claude Code instances.

random17 7mo ago

I've been looking to build something similar to this so this is very timely! What I wanted to build is a way for Claude Code to automatically receive reviews and CP failures from a Github PR and automatically revise code and respond to comments. It looks like with a custom Github PR channel I can get very close to this, although I do wish that a channel can be opened in a running session instead of having to create a new one. Hopefully they add that soon.

t0mas88 7mo ago

It would have surely taken less time to just set up notifications for the Claude Code app? Are they ever going to do this? It's baffling to me that they're just skipping over letting you know when a task is completed... this is basic stuff.

I also get the impression this is way more complicated than it needs to be. Or maybe it's simple and they keep inventing new terminology for stuff that basically already exists.

wewewedxfgdf 7mo ago

I enabled the github connector in claude web interface. I presumed Claude would then be able to clone repos, make commits, update the code in its container and then write it back to github. Instead, the github connector does ..... nothing it all. It's very weird.

fzzzy 7mo ago
It can do all those things from the claude code web version.
- wewewedxfgdf 7mo ago
  Quote: "i enabled github connector can you see it?" Answer: "I don't see a GitHub connector in the available integrations. The search only returned a Microsoft Learn connector (not connected). It's possible the connector hasn't fully activated yet, or it may not be available in your current setup. Could you double-check in Settings → Integrations that it shows as connected?" Multiple such checks and re-setups do nothing.
  - fzzzy 7mo ago
    It doesn't work that way. When you start a new claude code session, you choose a GitHub repo, and it will automatically create a branch and push over the course of the session. It's not an actual MCP. It's just built into the UI. Anthropic has a lot of stuff that's way more difficult to use because of bad UI, spread over lots of different places.
    - wewewedxfgdf 7mo ago

mberg 7mo ago

I just created agent-http that leverages the channels feature to enable you to wrap claude code with a http api. This provides an identical API to Agent API (https://github.com/coder/agentapi https://github.com/coder/agentapi) that relies on terminal scraping to achieve this. Now you can interact with claude code in a headless manner using your subscription. Previously I think you had to do this via the Agents SDK which relies on api token use.

ericlevine 7mo ago

This is fantastic. There are a ton of use cases where you'd want to be able to build an integration that hooks back to your running agent session. OpenClaw has this today, but it's pretty janky. Hopefully this is coming to Claude Cowork as well. My use case is that I have a separate system that provides human approvals for what my agent can do. Right now, I've had to resort to long-polling to give a halfway decent user experience. But webhooks are clearly the right solution. Curious to see how it ends up being exposed outside of these initial integrations.

This is the first time I've seen MCP's push capabilities come in handy. I'm not much of an MCP nerd though so I don't know much. But when I read the spec it looked extremely over engineered partly because of the 2 way nature of it.

tekacs 7mo ago
Unfortunately, we're all stuck moving at the speed of the model labs because of the subscription models that they've provided. The rest of us were able to implement things like push a long time ago, but because Claude Code and Codex stubbed those things out, we couldn't really use them for 'most agent users'. In fairness to OpenAI, they have been generous in allowing for example OpenCode to sign in with your ChatGPT subscription – so you _could_ build a more powerful agent (which OpenCode is... not) – but unfortunately GPTs' instruction following just isn't up to snuff yet. Hopefully they pre-train something amazing this year!

crashabr 7mo ago

Honestly not sure what I would be using this for when there's Claude remote control? Is it because you can script the telegram bot to send messages at regular intervals? But Claude has a /loop as well, so I'm still confused.

Remote Control is buggy a hell, the websocket keeps disconnecting every 10 minutes. And the UI is unusable on mobile.

The Telegram bot is just an example (and I guess a subtle jab at Openclaw, which people tend to use via Telegram). Personally I'm hoping to set this up so it can receive Github webhooks when a pull request opened by Claude Code receives comments.

I am not sure how I feel about all these hype-driven tools honestly, especially considering they are super janky since probably rushed out with Claude Code. It reminds me that I don't really like Anthropic as a company, I just like Claude as a model a lot. It just feels more capable and personable than the others. I wonder if / when OpenAI et al. will be able to replicate it. For now, I basically have no choice but to use the walled garden but I do hope Anthropic is not completely compromising their core mission of actually making the model better rather than following these public bandwagons. Then again most of these probably take them like a day to develop through a junior dev talking to Claude Opus 5 or some shit lol (and to be fair, it shows). I don't know.

I don't see this said anywhere - maybe I missed it. Why is it only one conversation at a time? Couldn't you have multiple sessions using different plugins or whatever?
- tomasz-tomczyk 7mo ago
  Well, it's one conversation per bot. I set it up, connected the channel. DM'd it (only way to converse with it - wish I could have a Discord channel per project, different CWDs etc...) and asked what happens when I start 2 claude sessions connected to the channel and it said it'll just work with one. Suppose you could have multiple bots, but it looks like it only supports one bot token anyway.
  - jon-wood 7mo ago
    This is an API designed to build connectors, there's absolutely nothing preventing you from building one that connects to Discord and listens to a different channel for each instance.
  - jasonjmcghee 7mo ago
    I think they gave two sample implementations to demonstrate it. I'm guessing their expecting the community to run with it

zknill 7mo ago

This is actually great for *claws. When Anthropic changed their T&Cs to disallow using claude code oauth tokens in the Anthropic Agent SDK, you had a choice between violate the terms or pay a lot more for the model inference using an API key from platform.claude.com instead of claude.ai. With this change, it looks like an officially sanctioned version of *claws. Connecting to whatever "channels" you want via MCP. Architecturally it's a little different, most *claws would call the Agent SDK from some orchestrator, but with claude channels the claude code binary starts the MCP server used to communicate with the channel. So it's a full inversion of control where Claude code is the driver, instead of your orchestrator code. I updated my nanoclaw fork to start the claude code binary in a docker container on PID 1, and you can read the docker logs straight from claude code stdout, but with comms directly to/from your channel of choice. It's pretty neat.

I was reading through CC MCPs docs ... MCP Notifications kind of did this right? The server/client could update each other automatically. So there was already this channel-like communication. This is like that but instead of the server/client sending messages it's you.
