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
:

{
  "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 

*
.

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.

ipc_sessions()


ipc_whoami

Show your session name and hub connection status.

ipc_whoami()


ipc_subscribe

Subscribe to topic channels for filtered message delivery.

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.
