Claude Code client for a MemPalace shared-brain hub: installs and keeps current the canonical rules block in CLAUDE.md without the mempalace package, composes…

A Claude Code plugin for machines that join a MemPalace shared-brain hub: one mempalace serve process that several agents, on several machines, read and write through. MemPalace's own plugin covers a palace on the local machine. This one covers the client side of the hub, where the machine has no mempalace package, no local palace, and reaches the hub over HTTP.
It implements the client half of MemPalace's shared-brain guide inside Claude Code, using MemPalace's own texts and tools throughout. The plugin adds no protocol wording of its own.
Wires the protocol into CLAUDE.md (guide, section 5). mempalace rules prints the canonical shared-brain block for an agent's instruction file, wrapped in markers for in-place re-rendering. The plugin renders the same block from a vendored copy of the same template (see vendor/UPSTREAM.md), or from the CLI when it is installed, and installs, checks or refreshes it in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Every session start reports whether the installed block is current, stale or missing.
Composes the identity. host:harness:project, with the project taken from the session's working directory, as the protocol describes. A fixed identity is available for hubs that already use another convention.
Carries the inbox cursor. The protocol's cursor is the id of the last event you processed, resumed with since_event_id, never a timestamp. The plugin stores it per identity, shows it at session start, and the inbox command records it.
Sweeps the inbox at session start. By default the SessionStart hook tells the model exactly which mempalace_event_list calls to make, from the stored cursor, before the first task. With a hook-side path to the hub it makes them itself: /healthz, mempalace_status, events since the cursor, open task requests this identity has not acknowledged, placed in context before the first prompt. Event bodies are shown as excerpts and labelled as data.
Wakes the session on coordination events (guide, section 7). A chat session has no background loop and a remote client should not run mempalace logstream watch. When the user arms listening, each prompt triggers one sweep since the watch cursor for the armed event types, excluding the identity's own events: run by the hook when it has a path to the hub, otherwise requested of the model in that turn. Arming prints the announcement the protocol asks for, and disarming prints the declared-idle statement.
Keeps saves working for a remote client. MemPalace's Stop and PreCompact hooks save through the local package, which a hub client does not have. Here the Stop hook asks the model, in MemPalace's own words, to save through the MCP tools every 15 human turns, and the PreCompact hook snapshots the conversation to a private file without blocking, handed back after compaction.
Routes work to machines that can do it. Each machine probes what it can do: OS, CPU threads, memory, GPU, Xcode release and beta versions, iOS simulators, git, gh, linode-cli, Docker, Podman, distrobox, Tailscale, Node, Python, an agent signing key, plus any checks you add. The probe reads local facts only, no secret values. /mempalace-sharedbrain:capabilities publishes the result to the hub as knowledge-graph facts on the host label (has_capability, lacks) and one profile drawer per host. Session start shows the machine's capabilities and nudges when the hub's copy is out of date. A task names its requirements in metadata.requires or a Requires: line, such as xcode>=27, memory-gb>=32. Delegation finds a host that meets them, and the inbox, the session-start sweep and the wake check flag any task this machine cannot meet before anyone claims it.
Runs as a mod where Claude Code supports one. The plugin carries a hooks module (hooks/register.tsx) beside its command hooks. On a Claude Code build that loads mods, the module makes the hub calls itself through $.mcp.call, with the session's own logged-in MCP connection, so no token and no hook-side transport are needed: it sweeps the inbox with the first prompt and flags tasks this machine cannot meet. It records the cursor only once the conversation shows its message reached the model, so a dropped message is shown again rather than skipped. Every read it makes is scoped to this identity or to one open request's thread and starts where the last check stopped: the open requests it is still watching, and where each read stopped, are kept in the plugin's store between sessions. Whether a request is closed comes from that request's own thread, at most six threads per check (the rest are read by later checks). A reply too large for Claude Code is asked for again with half the limit, and a check that still fails says why on the status line (mempalace: inbox check failed (reply too large), reply unreadable, hub slow to answer, hub unreachable, hub error); mempalace: connecting means only that the connection is not up yet. A stored cursor the hub does not hold (after a rebuild, or on another server) is reported and read again from the newest events. While listening is armed it checks every minute in the background, raises a toast and hands new mail over with the next prompt. The status line shows the identity, open tasks and new mail. /mempalace opens a pane with the same and closes it again (/mempalace open and /mempalace close say which); Escape and the pane's Close button close it too. The module tags each event it passes down, and the command hooks beneath leave out what it now does. Where mods do not load (older builds, or a Claude Code plugin running in another harness through a bridge), the command hooks work as before.
Bridges messages between agents. With the mod loaded, the hub works as a message bridge (docs/bridge.md has the protocol, which the Hermes plugin hermes-mempalace-sharedbrain follows too). Send a task to an identity such as mac-mini:claude:projects. If a session with that identity is running, its mod finds the task within a minute and starts a turn to deal with it, with nobody at the keyboard. If none is running, the task waits on the hub, and the next session opened in that folder picks it up before anyone types. By default (mode read) that turn reads the message and reports it to the person, and starts no work. With /mempalace-sharedbrain:bridge mode act on a machine, a task addressed to the identity by name, signed by a machine this one trusts, with its requirements met, is carried out there: the session posts a receipt, claims the task, does the work, replies and closes it. Everything else (broadcasts, replies, unsigned or untrusted messages) is read and reported to the person, with no work started. Each automatic turn opens with one line per message, such as 📨 From mac-mini:claude:app · 🔐 signature verified (SHA256:…). The receiving machine writes that mark from its own check, and never from anything the sender wrote. Two sessions sharing an identity never both take the same task. Listening is on by default with the bridge, and the background checks cost no model tokens. Only a turn the bridge starts does.
To stop two agents answering each other forever, each thread gets at most 4 automatic turns and the bridge at most 12 an hour. The fourth turn summarises everything done on the thread, tells the other agent it has paused, and asks the person whether to go on (/mempalace-sharedbrain:bridge continue <thread>). Until then, mail on that thread waits for the person's prompts. mode off turns the bridge off on that machine.
Signs messages, and pairs machines with a 6-digit code. Sender names on the hub are free text, so carrying out a task needs a signature. Each machine has its own Ed25519 bridge key, and signs with OpenSSH's ssh-keygen -Y sign. Keep the key in 1Password: create an SSH key item (Ed25519) named MemPalace bridge <host> (for example MemPalace bridge bazzite) and turn on 1Password's SSH agent (Settings > Developer). The private key then never touches the disk, so no command a session runs can read it, and 1Password asks you before each signature. Leave the prompt's "approve for the session" box unticked: once it is ticked, 1Password signs anything from that session without asking until it locks, including a signature a session makes directly from the shell. Locking 1Password clears it. Without that item the plugin uses a key file and /mempalace-sharedbrain:trust show warns that a session could sign without asking. Replies are signed automatically. By default a task is signed only after the person confirms it in a dialog that shows where it is going and what it says, once per recipient per session (the dialog offers "always sign tasks to this recipient in this session"). /mempalace-sharedbrain:bridge sign ask asks for every task, and sign auto stops asking on that machine. A turn started or carried by hub mail never signs a task, whatever the setting. To let machine B trust machine A, run /mempalace-sharedbrain:trust pair on A. It sends A's key to the hub and shows a 6-digit code. Type /mempalace-sharedbrain:trust pair <code> on B (and any other machine that should trust A) within 10 minutes. /mempalace-sharedbrain:trust lists each machine's key and whether this one trusts it. trust approve <identity> <fingerprint> is the manual route, and trust revoke withdraws trust.
Counts a task closed only on good authority. A closing ack or reply counts when it comes from the task's sender, from the identity it was addressed to by name, or from this identity. Anyone may close a broadcast, and the inbox says who closed it and how.
Commands.
| Command | Does | ||
|---|---|---|---|
/mempalace-sharedbrain:setup | Identity, the model's and the hook's path to the hub, rules block, live check. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:rules | Render, check or install the canonical rules block, diff first. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:inbox | Sweep from the cursor, report verbatim, claim only on a go-ahead, record the cursor. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:listen | Arm or disarm the wake check and post the announcement. The bridge arms it by default. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:trust | pair to send this machine's key and show a 6-digit code; pair <code> on another machine to trust it; list, show, approve <identity> <fingerprint>, revoke <principal>. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:bridge | The bridge's mode, limits and threads with automatic turns; continue a thread paused for you; `mode act\ | read\ | off`. |
/mempalace-sharedbrain:delegate | mempalace_task_create with a preview, optional --requires to pick a capable host, then arm, wait, verify, ack, file the outcome. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:checkpoint | mempalace_checkpoint: drawers and a diary entry in one call. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:capabilities | Probe this machine, publish its profile, check requirements, find hosts that meet them. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:sessions | Who is on the hub: each session running the mod checks in (one drawer per identity, refreshed every 30 minutes), and this lists them newest first, marking idle ones, listening ones and their bridge mode. Falls back to the event log before anyone has checked in. | ||
/mempalace-sharedbrain:peers | mempalace_mesh_peers and /statusz: hub, recent clients, mesh peers. Under the mod it leaves the menu on a single hub with no hook-side transport, where it has nothing to report. |
claude mcp list shows it). Any registration works: a remote hub with a bearer token, a remote hub behind OAuth, or a local mempalace-mcp proxying to a local hub. The hooks only need the mempalace_* tools to exist.claude plugin marketplace add shanelord01/claude-mempalace-sharedbrain
claude plugin install mempalace-sharedbrain@shanelord01 --scope user
Then, in a Claude Code session:
/mempalace-sharedbrain:setup
From a shell the same steps are scripts/setup.sh init, scripts/setup.sh rules install --write and scripts/setup.sh probe. Every key is in docs/configuration.md. Update later with claude plugin update mempalace-sharedbrain@shanelord01.
The model reaches the hub through its logged-in MCP server, and that is the only connection the plugin relies on. By default the hooks hold no credential at all. They compute what the model cannot know on its own (identity, cursor, watch state, rules-block status) and, where a hub call is due, ask the model to make that one call through its own server in the same turn: the inbox sweep at session start, and the wake check on each prompt while listening is armed.
Optionally the hooks can read the hub themselves, so the session-start check and the wake check run before the model is involved and cost it nothing. setup offers three paths:
mempalace-mcp, which proxies to a hub on the same machine.MemPalace's remote server guide covers mempalace serve with a static token. docs/hub-setup.md adds an OAuth login in front of it: the hub and Qdrant on a private machine with no open inbound ports, reached through a Newt/Pangolin tunnel, Pocket ID as the OAuth 2.1 authorization server, and a small caddy-jwt container that swaps each client's JWT for the hub's static token. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, the mobile apps and claude.ai all log in with a passkey. The same guide is on the hermes-mempalace-sharedbrain wiki.
Hermes Agent users: hermes-mempalace-sharedbrain is the matching memory provider, so a Hermes gateway and your Claude Code machines share one hub and one logstream.
Claude Desktop's Claude Code tab runs this plugin like the terminal does. The chat side of Claude Desktop, the mobile apps and claude.ai cannot run plugins or hooks. For those, add the hub as a connector and paste the rendered rules block (scripts/setup.sh rules render) into Settings > Personal preferences, as the guide's instruction-file table suggests for harnesses without a file.
tests/run.sh
Runs every hook and the setup tool against a transcript fixture and a fake hub over HTTP (JSON and SSE, with and without a token, with and without the writer filter) and stdio. Needs only bash and python3.
