Claude Peers — Multi-Instance Communication
Claude Peers is a built-in MCP server in Claude Code that allows multiple Claude Code instances running on the same machine to discover each other, communicate, and collaborate in real time. No extra configuration required — it ships with Claude Code.
This is the foundation for all multi-instance parallel development in CC Commander.
What Claude Peers Provides
Four MCP tools available to every Claude Code instance:
| Tool | Purpose | When to Call |
|---|---|---|
list_peers |
Discover other active Claude Code instances | Before sending messages, to find peers and their IDs |
send_message |
Send a message to a specific peer by ID | When you need to communicate results, ask questions, or coordinate |
set_summary |
Set a 1-2 sentence summary visible to all peers | On startup and whenever your focus changes |
check_messages |
Manually poll for incoming messages | When waiting for peer responses or periodically during long tasks |
