r/ClaudeAIJun 28, 2026 · 15d ago

Claude Comms lets people use Claude together inside a shared chatroom. It copies the idea of Slack’s '@claude' team feature, but uses IRC instead of Slack. The claude-comms MCP gives a Claude Code session tools to start an IRC server, join it, and talk in it.

The server and MCP are built with Python, and users can send chat messages with `/comm [message]`. People inside the IRC chat can also send messages directly into any connected Claude session. A simple is included; without it, the message flow adds a warning to stay careful about .

The tool is packaged as a Plugin and can be installed with plugin commands.
