I built an MCP server so Claude Code can reach me on Slack

2 min di lettura

I kept getting stuck babysitting Claude Code to be sure it was finishing that last thing, before going to the gym, before going out for dinner… before before… because if not, the moment I left it would ask me for an approval to do something it is not allowed to, or because it might have just finished and I was not there to tell it what to do next.

So frustrating…

I hear you… “just use Claude Code on mobile, dude!?!”

It is not the same, you know that. Of course I use Claude Code on my phone every now and then, to check something or explore new ideas.

I’m talking about me working on my laptop, CC doing “its stuff” (“Inferring… Shimmying… Bootstrapping… Recombobulating…”) where it can monitor deploy, checking my AWS logs, etc. This can only happen on your laptop… plus even if it is “just” writing code, I should stop it and continue on mobile.

I looked around (Reddit, Googling, asked Claude, asked Gemini, asked ChatGPT…) but there was no straightforward approach or solution I really liked:

  • openssh-server + Tailscale
  • Claude Code + tmux + remote server
  • Docker container + ShellHub
  • tmux + Tailscale + Termius

I wanted something “easier”. A simple human-in-the-loop for my AI coding agent.

What if we could simply ask Claude Code to talk to us via Slack when AFK?

┌────────────┐     ┌────────────┐     ┌────────────┐
│ Your Agent │────▶│     MCP    │────▶│    Slack   │
│            │◀────│            │◀────│            │
└────────────┘     └────────────┘     └────────────┘

We were working on something else and we already had some of the components we would need.

Quick prototype to prove it would work… it did work!

VS Code with Claude Code asking a question via Slack on your phone

A few weeks later (I’ll save the details for the next posts) here we are.

Lassare is an MCP server that lets your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI and any other supporting MCP) ask you questions while away from your desk. You can approve tools usage, tell it what to do next, answer its questions, all from your phone. No more “standstill”.

Check it out at lassare.com.
