Claude Peers MCP — Development skill for Claude Code

claude-peers

Let your Claude Code instances find each other and talk. When you're running 5 sessions across different projects, any Claude can discover the others and send messages that arrive instantly.

Quick start

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/louislva/claude-peers-mcp.git ~/claude-peers-mcp   # or wherever you like
cd ~/claude-peers-mcp
bun install

2. Register the MCP server

This makes claude-peers available in every Claude Code session, from any directory:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio claude-peers -- bun ~/claude-peers-mcp/server.ts

Replace `~/claude-peers-mcp` with wherever you cloned it.

3. Run Claude Code with the channel

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --dangerously-load-development-channels server:claude-peers

That's it. The broker daemon starts automatically the first time.

**Tip:** Add it to an alias so you don't have to type it every time:

alias claudepeers='claude --dangerously-load-development-channels server:claude-peers'

4. Open a second session and try it

In another terminal, start Claude Code the same way. Then ask either one:

List all peers on this machine

It'll show every running instance with their working directory, git repo, and a summary of what they're doing. Then:

Send a message to peer [id]: "what are you working on?"

The other Claude receives it immediately and responds.
