Getting Started

"let's vibe"

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

Tools

ToolWhat it does
vibe_startEntry point — authenticates, shows presence, checks inbox
vibe_initSet up your identity (GitHub OAuth)
vibe_whoSee who's online and what they're building
vibe_dmSend a direct message
vibe_inboxCheck your unread messages
vibe_statusSet your mood (shipping, thinking, debugging, etc.)
vibe_shipShare what you shipped
vibe_discoverFind people building similar things
vibe_helpShow available commands

How It Works

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

npm install
npm test
npm run lint
