Localhost web chat UI for testing the channel notification flow. No tokens, no access control, no third-party service. Serves an iMessage-style UI on localhost; messages posted there arrive as channel notifications, replies render in the UI. Useful for developing against the channel protocol without a live messaging account. Ships full source — server.ts runs locally via bun, started by the .mcp.json command.

# fakechat
|
|
|
|
Simple UI for testing the channel contract without an
|
|
external service. Open a browser, type, messages go to your Claude Code
|
|
session, replies come back.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
These are Claude Code commands — run `claude` to start a session first.
|
|
|
|
Install the plugin:
|
|
```
|
|
/plugin install fakechat@claude-plugins-official
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Relaunch with the channel flag** — the server won't connect without this. Exit your session and start a new one:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
claude --channels plugin:fakechat@claude-plugins-official
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The server prints the URL to stderr on startup:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
fakechat: http://localhost:8787
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open it. Type. The assistant replies in-thread.
|
|
|
|
Set `FAKECHAT_PORT` to change the port.
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Purpose |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `reply` | Send to the UI. Takes `text`, optionally `reply_to` (message ID) and `files` (absolute path, 50MB). Attachment shows as `[filename]` under the text. |
|
|
| `edit_message` | Edit a previously-sent message in place. |
|
|
|
|
Inbound images/files save to `~/.claude/channels/fakechat/inbox/` and the path
|
|
is included in the notification. Outbound files are copied to `outbox/` and
|
|
served over HTTP.
|
|
|
|
## Not a real channel
|
|
|
|
There's no history, no search, no access.json, no skill. Single browser tab,
|
|
fresh on every reload. This is a dev tool, not a messaging bridge.
