bridgey

Inter-agent communication for Claude Code via the A2A protocol. Each Claude Code instance becomes both an A2A client and server, forming a mesh network for multi-agent collaboration.

What it does

Agent-to-agent messaging -- Send messages between Claude Code instances over HTTP using Google's A2A protocol
Tailscale mesh discovery -- Auto-discover bridgey agents on your Tailscale network
Transport adapters -- Bridge external platforms (Discord, etc.) into the agent mesh
Channel integration -- Push inbound messages to Claude Code sessions via the Channels API

Architecture

Claude Code <-stdio-> Channel Server <-HTTP-> Daemon <-A2A/HTTP-> Remote Daemons
                                        |
                              Transport Adapters (Discord, etc.)

Two processes per instance:

Daemon (Fastify HTTP) -- long-running A2A server, persists across CC sessions
Channel Server (stdio MCP) -- pushes messages to CC, lives with the session

Plugins

Plugin	Purpose
`bridgey`	Core daemon + MCP server + Tailscale discovery
`bridgey-discord`	Discord transport adapter
`bridgey-deploy`	Remote deployment skills (Docker, Coolify, Tailscale SSH)

Install

As a Claude Code plugin

# Install the core plugin (recommended)
claude plugin add ./plugins/bridgey

# Optional: Discord transport
claude plugin add ./plugins/bridgey-discord

# Optional: Deployment skills
claude plugin add ./plugins/bridgey-deploy

Development setup

git clone https://github.com/kickinrad/bridgey.git
cd bridgey
npm run install:all   # Installs all plugin dependencies
npm run build         # Bundles all plugins to dist/
npm test              # Runs all tests

Quick start

Run /bridgey:setup in Claude Code to configure your instance
The daemon starts automatically via SessionStart hook
Use send, list_agents, get_inbox tools to communicate
Share your connection snippet (/bridgey:status) with other instances
