claude-rpc plugin

A one-line way to get claude-rpc — Discord Rich Presence for Claude Code — installed and running.

This plugin is a thin bootstrapper. It does not reimplement claude-rpc; on its first session it simply runs the project's own documented installer:

npx claude-rpc@latest setup

That single command installs claude-rpc globally, wires the lifecycle hooks into Claude Code, starts the daemon, and registers login autostart — so the end state is identical to installing claude-rpc by hand. After it runs once, claude-rpc's own hooks take over and the plugin stays out of the way.

Install

/plugin marketplace add rar-file/claude-rpc
/plugin install claude-rpc@claude-rpc

Then start (or restart) a Claude Code session. The Discord card appears within a second or two of the first session after install. Check claude-rpc doctor if anything looks off.

How it works

• The plugin ships a single SessionStart hook → bin/bootstrap.sh.
• The script runs npx claude-rpc@latest setup once, in the background, and records a sentinel in the plugin's persistent data dir so later sessions no-op instantly.
• It locates node/npx even under nvm/fnm/volta/asdf, where the hook shell's PATH can be minimal.

Scope & uninstall

• Platforms: macOS / Linux / WSL (where npx … setup is the documented install). On native Windows, install the portable .exe from the releases page instead — there this plugin is a graceful no-op.
• Removing it: disabling/uninstalling the plugin stops the bootstrapper but does not remove claude-rpc itself (it's a real global install by then). To fully remove claude-rpc, run claude-rpc uninstall.

Everything setup does is reversible and documented in the project's SECURITY.md.
