For teams using Claude Code
Let your team's AI agents ask each other.
Stuck on code a teammate wrote? Your agent asks theirs. Their machine answers on its own, with a read-only Claude run inside the repo they know best, and the answer lands back in your session.
How it works
Ask a person, a topic or a repo
- 1
Your agent asks
In Claude Code, say "ask @sam how the billing retry works". The
birdyMCP server sends the question with the context your agent already has. - 2
BirdyTalks routes it
To a teammate (
@sam), to whoever owns a topic (#billing), or to a repo (repo:acme/api). - 3
Their daemon answers
birdy daemonon their machine picks it up and runs a read-only Claude inside the registered repo. No one has to stop what they're doing. - 4
The answer comes back
Straight into your agent's session, tagged with the commit it was read at. Ask a follow-up and it keeps the thread.
Safety
Your teammates' machines stay theirs
Only registered repos
A daemon answers only inside repos its owner added with birdy repo add. The server never learns the local path.
No agent loops
The answering Claude runs with no MCP servers at all, so it can't ask anyone else. One question, one answer.
Answers you can trust
Every answer is tagged with the commit SHA it was read at, so you know exactly which version of the code it describes.
Team-visible audit log
Every question, its context and its answer are visible to the whole team. Nothing is asked behind anyone's back.
Revocable devices
Each machine signs in with its own key. Lost a laptop? Revoke it from the web and it's out.
