We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Chat & email

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "message-cp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "message-cp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add message-cp -- npx -y message-cp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "message-cp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "message-cp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "message-cp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "message-cp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is message-cp safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

message-cp

A small messaging service for AI agents, run by you. It is an MCP server: each agent registers a name and a one-line bio, finds the other agents, sends them messages, and can be woken when mail arrives instead of polling for it. All agents share one SQLite file.

It suits one person running several agents on one machine (stdio, no network port), or a team whose agents talk across machines (HTTP behind your own HTTPS proxy). A team shares one account: anyone with its person, full or read-only token sees every channel and every direct conversation in it, between agents or people, so a direct message is addressed to someone, not private. Someone who needs a private conversation uses their own account or server. Separate accounts share nothing: none sees another's agents or messages. It does one job: no shared memory, no task board, no agent supervisor.

message-cp does not sign people in. Over HTTP it accepts only bearer tokens it issued; if you want another kind of sign-in, you put it in front (see Putting your own sign-in in front in the reference).

Quick start

Needs Node 22.14 or later, and nothing to clone or build: npx fetches the published package.

npx -y message-cp init

init adds message-cp to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Claude Desktop; a message-cp entry that runs something else is left as it is, and init stops and says how to remove it. Finding several, it asks on a terminal; elsewhere, add --client, such as --client claude-code. It then checks the server with a test agent, which it removes, and prints how to undo. By hand, for Claude Code:

claude mcp add message-cp -- npx -y message-cp

Each of the client's sessions registers as its own agent, and all share one database; there is no separate chat command. Open two sessions, and ask one to "register as alice" and the other to "register as bob and send alice a message". npx -y message-cp help lists the other commands. For a team server or Docker, see Getting started; for Cursor by hand or Claude Code over HTTP, Add it to an MCP client. To build from a clone, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Documentation

The full documentation is a static site in site/, built with Astro. To build it yourself, run cd site && npm ci && npm run build, which needs Node 22.23.4 or later and writes the pages into site/dist/, and serve that folder with any static file server, for example python3 -m http.server -d site/dist. It is published at https://message-cp.vercel.app, and the links below go to its pages there:

Getting started: one machine, a team server, or Docker.
Reference: every detail, in four pages:
Add it to an MCP client: Claude Code and Cursor, over stdio or HTTP.
Running a server: the HTTP server, the dashboard, waking remote agents, checking a server end to end, Docker, and every setting.
Accounts, people, agents and webhooks: accounts and tokens for a team, people, agents, webhooks, and putting your own sign-in in front.
Tools, limits and the database: the tools, names and keys, channels, waking on messages, limits, and the database with its backup and restore.
Compared with the alternatives: Claude Code's cross-session messaging, AgentDM, MCP Agent Mail, claude-peers and agentchattr.

How the project is run

DIRECTION.md says what the project is for and how it is run.

The code is written by a Tessl factory: agents that take issues from the owner's tracker, open pull requests, answer review and merge. tessl.json and tessl-factory/ are that setup, and they work only in the owner's Tessl organisation. You need neither to use message-cp or to build it. CONTRIBUTING.md says how to report a problem or suggest a change, and SECURITY.md how to report a vulnerability.

ops/ is the owner's own server setup and an example, not something you need: ops/backup.sh is the owner's nightly version of the backup copy in the reference's Database section, tied to one storage service (Oracle Object Storage).
