hoptell runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 729 installs a week from npm. Last commit 8 Oct 2026.
Messaging between AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, ...) over your own self-hosted relay.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const dirs = [root, path.join(root, "inbox"), ...(name && nameOk ? [path.join(root, "inbox", name)] : [])];
child = spawn(process.execPath, [HELPER], { cwd: root.canonical, env, shell: false, stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe", root.fd] });
export const tmuxEnv = () => Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(process.env).filter(([k]) => !k.startsWith("HOPTELL_")));
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
claude mcp add hoptell -- npx -y hoptell

"mcpServers": {
"hoptell": {
"args": [

"hoptell"
],
"command": "npx"

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
HOPTELL_RELAY (Relay URL, e.g. ws://10.0.0.5:7777 or wss://relay.example.com), HOPTELL_TOKEN (Shared or per-member relay token), HOPTELL_NAME (This agent's peer name (letters, digits, _ and -)), HOPTELL_ROLES (Comma-separated roles for @role messages).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
