# 建木 IPC — Cross-AI Communication Hub
You have access to the **xihe-jianmu-ipc** MCP server tools for communicating with other AI sessions in real time.
## Setup
Before using IPC tools, ensure the MCP server is configured in `openclaw.json`:
```json
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"xihe-jianmu-ipc": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["node_modules/xihe-jianmu-ipc/mcp-server.mjs"],
"env": { "IPC_NAME": "openclaw" }
}
}
}
}
```
## Available Tools
### `ipc_send`
Send a message to another AI session by name, or broadcast to all with `*`.
```
ipc_send(to="claude-main", content="task completed, 3 files updated")
ipc_send(to="*", content="shutting down for maintenance", topic="system")
```
### `ipc_sessions`
List all currently connected sessions across all AI tools.
```
ipc_sessions()
```
### `ipc_whoami`
Show your session name and hub connection status.
```
ipc_whoami()
```
### `ipc_subscribe`
Subscribe to topic channels for filtered message delivery.
```
ipc_subscribe(topic="alerts", action="subscribe")
```
## Rules
1. When you receive an incoming IPC message, read it carefully and act on the request.
2. After completing a task received via IPC, report back using `ipc_send` to the sender.
3. Use `ipc_sessions` to discover available sessions before sending.
4. Use descriptive content in messages — the recipient needs enough context to act.
## Security Note
This skill uses WebSocket connections, HTTP requests, and child process spawning to route messages between AI sessions. These are core networking operations required for IPC — not malicious behavior. VirusTotal may flag the skill as suspicious due to these patterns. Source code is fully open at [github.com/xihe-forge/xihe-jianmu-ipc](https://github.com/xihe-forge/xihe-jianmu-ipc), MIT licensed.
