Documentation Overview

⚠️ DEPRECATED — this repo is no longer the source of slashvibe-mcp

As of Jun 27, 2026, the canonical slashvibe-mcp is built from VibeCodingInc/vibe-platform → mcp-server/ (v0.5.0+), which is a strict superset of this code (adds AIRC/Matrix rooms and more). The published npm package and the npx -y slashvibe-mcp command are unchanged — only the source moved. Do not build or publish from this repo. See mcp-server/CANONICALIZATION.md in vibe-platform for the migration.

/vibe MCP Server

Social MCP server — DMs, presence, and discovery for AI-assisted developers. See who's building, message them, share what you shipped. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any MCP client.

Install

Terminal

claude mcp add vibe -- npx -y slashvibe-mcp

Other editors

Cursor — add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "vibe": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "slashvibe-mcp"] } } }

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

config.json

{ "servers": { "vibe": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "slashvibe-mcp"] } } }

Windsurf — add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "vibe": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "slashvibe-mcp"] } } }

Cline — MCP Servers > Configure > Edit JSON, add vibe server as above.

Continue.dev — create .continue/mcpServers/vibe.json:

config.json

{ "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "slashvibe-mcp"] }

JetBrains — Settings > Tools > AI Assistant > MCP, command npx, args -y slashvibe-mcp.

Getting Started

Code

"let's vibe"

That's it. Authenticates via GitHub, shows who's online, checks your inbox.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`vibe_start`	Entry point — authenticates, shows presence, checks inbox
`vibe_init`	Set up your identity (GitHub OAuth)
`vibe_who`	See who's online and what they're building
`vibe_dm`	Send a direct message
`vibe_inbox`	Check your unread messages
`vibe_status`	Set your mood (shipping, thinking, debugging, etc.)
`vibe_ship`	Share what you shipped
`vibe_discover`	Find people building similar things
`vibe_help`	Show available commands

How It Works

Code

Your Editor <-> /vibe MCP (stdio) <-> slashvibe.dev API <-> Other users

Presence broadcasts via heartbeat — others see you in real time
Messages are delivered through the slashvibe.dev API
Identity persists via GitHub OAuth — your handle follows you across editors

Troubleshooting

"I installed but don't see /vibe tools" — restart your editor after adding the MCP config.

"Authentication failed" — OAuth opens a browser window. If it didn't open, go to slashvibe.dev/login. The callback runs on localhost:9876 — make sure that port is free.

Development

Terminal

npm install
npm test
npm run lint
