建木 IPC — Real-time cross-AI communication hub. Route messages between OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, and any HTTP client through a lightweight WebSocket hub.

建木 IPC — Cross-AI Communication Hub

You have access to the xihe-jianmu-ipc MCP server tools for communicating with other AI sessions in real time.

Setup

Before using IPC tools, ensure the MCP server is configured in openclaw.json:

json

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "xihe-jianmu-ipc": {
        "command": "node",
        "args": ["node_modules/xihe-jianmu-ipc/mcp-server.mjs"],
        "env": { "IPC_NAME": "openclaw" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

ipc_send

Send a message to another AI session by name, or broadcast to all with *.

text

ipc_send(to="claude-main", content="task completed, 3 files updated")
ipc_send(to="*", content="shutting down for maintenance", topic="system")

ipc_sessions

List all currently connected sessions across all AI tools.

text

ipc_sessions()

ipc_whoami

Show your session name and hub connection status.

text

ipc_whoami()

ipc_subscribe

Subscribe to topic channels for filtered message delivery.

text

ipc_subscribe(topic="alerts", action="subscribe")

Rules

1. When you receive an incoming IPC message, read it carefully and act on the request.
2. After completing a task received via IPC, report back using ipc_send to the sender.
3. Use ipc_sessions to discover available sessions before sending.
4. Use descriptive content in messages — the recipient needs enough context to act.

Security Note

This skill uses WebSocket connections, HTTP requests, and child process spawning to route messages between AI sessions. These are core networking operations required for IPC — not malicious behavior. VirusTotal may flag the skill as suspicious due to these patterns. Source code is fully open at github.com/xihe-forge/xihe-jianmu-ipc, MIT licensed.
