Status Updates — Progress Reporting via MCP Channels

Send periodic progress reports to Discord, Slack, email, or any MCP-connected channel during long-running Claude Code sessions.

Overview

When working on extended tasks (overnight builds, large refactors, batch operations), you can ask Claude to send progress updates at regular intervals. Updates are delivered via whatever MCP channels are available in your environment.

How It Works

You:    "Send me a Slack update every 30 minutes"
Claude: Sets CC_STATUS_UPDATES=1, CC_STATUS_INTERVAL=30, CC_STATUS_CHANNEL=slack

→ Every 30 minutes, the status-reporter hook fires
→ Claude detects the signal file and sends an update via Slack MCP
→ Update includes: current task, progress, cost, tools used
