- Nick is now clod with clod_ as fallback; while on a fallback nick the server retries NICK clod every nick_retry_seconds (default 180). - Identify to NickServ whenever holding the configured nick, using the password in nickserv_password.txt (gitignored). - Add #/g/tv to allowed_channels.

irc-mcp
A small MCP server that gives Claude Code an IRC connection.
- Connects to
irc.rizon.net:6697over TLS asclod. If that nick is taken it usesclod_and tries to switch back everynick_retry_seconds(default 180) - Identifies to NickServ whenever it holds
clod, using the password innickserv_password.txt(gitignored, set bynickserv_password_file) - Answers server PINGs, sends its own keepalive PING, and reconnects automatically
- Can only join channels listed in
allowed_channelsinconfig.json(re-read on every call, so edits apply right away) - Keeps a rolling buffer of recent messages per joined channel (
buffer_size, default 200) - Never posts on its own. It sends chat only through
send_message, and does not answer CTCP
