Claude Code has a built-in agent teams feature (shared task lists, inter-agent messaging, tmux-based spawning), but the protocol is internal and tightly coupled to its own tooling. This MCP server reimplements that protocol as a standalone MCP server, making it available to any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, or anything else that speaks MCP. Based on a deep dive into Claude Code's internals. PRs welcome.
Install
Pin to a release tag (e.g.
@v0.1.1), notmain. There are breaking changes between releases.
Claude Code (.mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"claude-teams": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/cs50victor/claude-code-teams-mcp@v0.1.1", "claude-teams"]
}
}
}
OpenCode (~/.config/opencode/opencode.json):
{
"mcp": {
"claude-teams": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["uvx", "--from", "git+https://github.com/cs50victor/claude-code-teams-mcp@v0.1.1", "claude-teams"],
"enabled": true
}
}
}
Requirements
- Python 3.12+
- tmux
- At least one coding agent on PATH: Claude Code (
claude) or OpenCode (opencode) - OpenCode teammates require
OPENCODE_SERVER_URLand theclaude-teamsMCP connected in that instance
Configuration
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
CLAUDE_TEAMS_BACKENDS |
Comma-separated enabled backends (claude, opencode) |
Auto-detect from connecting client |
OPENCODE_SERVER_URL |
OpenCode HTTP API URL (required for opencode teammates) | (unset) |
USE_TMUX_WINDOWS |
Spawn teammates in tmux windows instead of panes | (unset) |
Without CLAUDE_TEAMS_BACKENDS, the server auto-detects the connecting client and enables only its backend. Set it explicitly to enable multiple backends:
{
"mcpServers": {
"claude-teams": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/cs50victor/claude-code-teams-mcp@v0.1.1", "claude-teams"],
"env": {
"CLAUDE_TEAMS_BACKENDS": "claude,opencode",
"OPENCODE_SERVER_URL": "http://localhost:4096"
}
}
}
}

Architecture
- Spawning: Teammates launch in tmux panes (default) or windows (
USE_TMUX_WINDOWS). Each gets a unique agent ID and color. - Messaging: JSON inboxes at
~/.claude/teams/<team>/inboxes/. Lead messages anyone; teammates message only lead. - Tasks: JSON files at
~/.claude/tasks/<team>/. Status tracking, ownership, and dependency management. - Concurrency: Atomic writes via
tempfile+os.replace. Cross-platform file locks viafilelock.
