This plugin integrates WeChat messaging into the Claude Code terminal environment, enabling users to send and receive messages via the WeChat iLink Bot API. It targets Claude Code users seeking seamless communication with their WeChat contacts directly from their development workflow, eliminating the need for separate applications.

How It Works

The plugin operates by running a local Message Communication Protocol (MCP) server that utilizes HTTP long-polling to fetch messages from the WeChat iLink Bot API. This architecture avoids the necessity of a public webhook, ensuring all operations remain local. Incoming messages from configured senders are relayed to the Claude Code session, and Claude's replies are sent back through the same API, crucially handling WeChat's context_token requirement for replies by extracting it from inbound message metadata.

Limitations & Caveats

This plugin is part of a "channels research preview" and is designated as a non-official plugin, requiring a specific flag (--dangerously-load-development-channels) to run, suggesting potential instability or experimental status. It has strict prerequisites for Claude Code version (v2.1.80+) and the Bun runtime.
