ccpair 0.5.0

Peer-to-peer Claude Code sessions over local network

ccpair

Peer-to-peer Claude Code sessions over your local network.

Two developers. Two Claude Code instances. One shared session — with humans always in the loop.

How it works

• mDNS discovery — no config, just be on the same WiFi
• Each Claude can propose tasks, share context, and request reviews via MCP tools
• After every Claude response a 2-minute human gate opens — either human can type and take over
• Stats (phase, countdown, exchange count) live in the statusline

Install

uv tool install ccpair
ccpair install               # wire up hooks, statusline, MCP, and skills

Restart Claude Code, then in any project:

/pair

Usage

Start a session (host):

ccpair host --name alice
# prints: Session code: ab3x9k

Join a session:

ccpair join ab3x9k --name bob

Or use /pair inside Claude Code — it handles both flows interactively.

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• Same LAN (mDNS / port 52001)
• Claude Code with statusline configured
• jq in PATH (for hooks/statusline)
