khimaira-chat

Cross-session real-time chat MCP server for Claude Code. Daemon-push via claude/channel capability; sub-2s end-to-end latency.

Part of the khimaira workspace.

What it does

  • Lets two or more Claude Code sessions hold a real-time chat conversation.
  • Messages land in the recipient's context as <channel source="khimaira-chat" ...> blocks via Claude Code's channels feature.
  • Groups + handshake — N-session rooms, all members must accept the invite before they receive messages.
  • State (rooms, members, transcripts) lives in the khimaira-monitor daemon; this MCP server is a per-session stdio subprocess that subscribes to its session's events and forwards them to the agent.

Architecture

See tasks/khimaira-chat/IMPLEMENTATION.md in the workspace root for the full design.

Claude Code session  ◄── stdio ──►  khimaira-chat MCP subprocess  ◄── HTTP/SSE ──►  khimaira-monitor daemon

Install (per Claude Code peer)

khimaira sync registers this MCP server in your Claude Code config. To launch with channels enabled (research preview):

claude --dangerously-load-development-channels server:khimaira-chat
