trickv/claude-squared-code

this is a little hack that I had Claude Code spin up for me and it only kinda half works. feel free to pirate it but don't expect much despite the fact that Claude Code does a great job of generating readmes that look like what you'd find in a finished product!

Claude Code MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude Desktop to interface with Claude Code instances. This enables remote control and coordination between different Claude environments.

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

2. Test the server:

   npm start
   

3. Configure Claude Desktop: Add to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "claude-code-bridge": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/absolute/path/to/this/project/src/index.js"]
       }
     }
   }
   

Available Tools

• check_claude_code_installation: Verify Claude Code is available
• execute_claude_code_command: Send commands to Claude Code
• start_claude_code_session: Initialize a new Claude Code session
• read_file_via_claude_code: Read files through Claude Code
• write_file_via_claude_code: Write files through Claude Code

Example Usage in Claude Desktop

Once configured, you can use these tools in Claude Desktop:

Check if Claude Code is installed on the system

Start a new Claude Code session in /path/to/project and ask it to analyze the codebase

Execute command: "Create a new React component called UserProfile"

Architecture Notes

This is a basic implementation that demonstrates the concept. The server currently:

1. Simulates Claude Code integration (since we're building without the actual CLI)
2. Provides a foundation for real integration once Claude Code CLI is available
3. Shows the MCP bridge pattern for inter-Claude communication

Future Enhancements

• Real Claude Code integration when CLI is available
• Persistent session management
• Bidirectional communication
• Network MCP server version for remote access
• Session state synchronization
• Error handling and recovery

Development

# Run in development mode with auto-reload
npm run dev

Network Server Extension

To extend this to work with Claude.ai web/mobile, you'd:

1. Add HTTP/WebSocket transport instead of stdio
2. Implement authentication/authorization
3. Add session management
4. Handle concurrent connections
5. Deploy as a network service

The MCP protocol already supports this - just swap the transport layer!
