claude-rpc Now a One-Line Claude Code Plugin
Developer Charlie Archer Simmons announced that claude-rpc, a small open-source Node daemon, is now installable as a one-line plugin inside Claude Code. claude-rpc converts Claude Code lifecycle events (session start, tool calls, token counts) into a live Discord Rich Presence card showing model, project, active tool, and usage stats. The project is free, has zero runtime dependencies, and is designed to use Discord's local IPC without network polling or unsolicited telemetry. Installation via Claude Code requires two in-editor plugin commands; the project remains available via npx, curl, Homebrew, a Windows executable, and on GitHub. The article was published June 17, 2026, and links to the site (claude-rpc.vercel.app) and source repo (github.com/rar-file/claude-rpc).
Small open-source developer tool release with limited direct impact on the broader AdTech/MarTech industry; relevant mainly to LLM developer tooling and integrations.

Key Takeaways & Evidence Grounding
- claude-rpc is an open-source Node daemon that turns Claude Code lifecycle events into Discord Rich Presence cards.
- The plugin installation inside Claude Code uses two commands: '/plugin marketplace add rar-file/claude-rpc' and '/plugin install claude-rpc@claude-rpc'.
- claude-rpc claims zero runtime dependencies and implements a hand-rolled Discord IPC client (no network calls or telemetry by default).
- The project is hosted at https://github.com/rar-file/claude-rpc and has a site at https://claude-rpc.vercel.app.
- Author states about 7,000 developers install the tool monthly and it has 7 GitHub stars.

Open-source Bridge Exposes Claude Code as REST API
A developer released claude-api-bridge, an open-source tool that exposes a local Claude Code (Anthropic) subscription as a remote REST API. The bridge uses an automatic Cloudflare Tunnel to provide an HTTPS public endpoint, includes token management (SHA256-hashed tokens), request queuing, optional stateful sessions backed by SQLite, and a web dashboard. It installs and runs with a single command (npx claude-api-bridge start) and is published on GitHub and npm. Limitations include the requirement that the user's desktop runs the Claude CLI and single-threaded request processing due to Claude CLI constraints.
Developer First Look: Anthropic's Claude Code
This developer-first look examines Claude Code, Anthropic's terminal-based, agentic coding tool. Unlike chat interfaces, Claude Code reads project folders, edits and creates files, runs shell commands, and preserves project context via a CLAUDE.md briefing file. The author walks through installation, trust prompts and permission modes (Default, Auto-Accept Edits, Plan), model selection (example: claude-haiku-4-5), and configuration commands (/model, /config). Key features highlighted include an @ folder reference system for pulling content from project files, session tools (/cost and /context) for monitoring tokens and spending, and a permission workflow that proposes diffs before applying changes. The tutorial builds a portfolio site almost entirely with Claude Code at a reported cost under $0.10 and notes best practices for scoping the tool to a project folder and using CLAUDE.md for team conventions.

Claude Code Now Supports Messaging via Telegram and Discord!
Anthropic has introduced Channels for Claude Code that let users send messages from Telegram and Discord directly into an active Claude Code session. The preview supports only plugins on an Anthropic-managed allowlist and requires Claude Code v2.1.80 with login via claude.ai; Teams and Enterprise customers need admin enablement. Channels operate as MCP plugins that must be explicitly attached at session start; incoming messages (chat, CI results, monitoring events) are delivered into an open session and Claude can respond in the connected messenger while the terminal shows only the tool call and confirmation. Anthropic announced the update publicly via Thariq Shihipar on X. The feature builds on Claude Code’s earlier Remote Control capability and moves toward messenger-reachable agentic workflows while remaining session-bound rather than creating always-on agents.
