About 7,000 developers install a little tool of mine every month. It has 7 GitHub stars. I think about that gap a lot — but it also means thousands of these cards are quietly running in Discord right now, which is the whole point.
It's called claude-rpc, and as of today you can install it from inside Claude Code itself.
What it is
claude-rpc is a small Node daemon that takes the lifecycle events Claude Code already fires — session start, each tool call, token counts — and turns them into a live Discord Rich Presence card on your profile: current model, project, what tool is running, plus lifetime stats. Your friends see what you're building; you get a year heatmap of your own work.
It's free, open source, and has zero runtime dependencies — the Discord IPC client is hand-rolled, so the entire supply chain fits in a single review.
