fakechat-test

Set up the official fakechat MCP plugin so you can chat with fir through the browser UI.

Build fir and install fakechat

make
if [ ! -d /tmp/claude-plugins-official/external_plugins/fakechat ]; then
  cd /tmp && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official.git
fi
cd /tmp/claude-plugins-official/external_plugins/fakechat && bun install

Generate config and launch

MCP_CONFIG=$(mktemp /tmp/fir-fakechat-mcp-XXXXXX)
DEBUG_LOG=$(mktemp /tmp/fir-fakechat-debug-XXXXXX)
REPO="$PWD"
cat > "$MCP_CONFIG" << EOF
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fakechat": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["run", "/tmp/claude-plugins-official/external_plugins/fakechat/server.ts"]
    }
  }
}
EOF
lsof -ti:8787 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null; true
tmux kill-session -t fakechat 2>/dev/null; true
tmux new-session -d -s fakechat -x 140 -y 40 \

echo "MCP config: $MCP_CONFIG"
echo "Debug log: $DEBUG_LOG"

Verify connection and open browser

sleep 4 && grep 'mcp connected.*fakechat' "$DEBUG_LOG"
open http://localhost:8787

Should show "tools":2. The browser UI is now open — type messages and the agent auto-responds.

Monitor continuously

1. Check logs for channel activity

grep -i 'channel\|inject\|reply\|error\|warn\|fail' "$DEBUG_LOG" | tail -20

2. Check TUI state

tmux capture-pane -t fakechat -p -S -40

3. Report:

• New channel messages received (with timestamps)
• Tool calls made (reply, etc.)
• Any errors or warnings
• Whether auto-trigger fired (agent started a turn without manual prompt)

4. Sleep for 10s, then go back to step 1

Keep monitoring until the user explicitly asks to stop or clean up.

Cleanup after user says you're done

tmux kill-session -t fakechat 2>/dev/null
lsof -ti:8787 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null; true
