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.
