### Description (declared)

# Claude Team MCP Server

An MCP server that allows one Claude Code session to spawn and manage a team of other Claude Code (or Codex) sessions via terminal backends (tmux or iTerm2).

## Introduction

`claude-team` is an MCP server and a set of slash commands for allowing Claude Code to orchestrate a "team" of other Claude Code sessions. It uses terminal backends (tmux or iTerm2) to spawn new terminal sessions and run Claude Code within them.

### Why?

- **Parallelism:** Many development tasks can be logically parallelized, but managing that parallelism is difficult for humans with limited attention spans. Claude, meanwhile, is very effective at it.
- **Context management:** Offloading implementation to a worker gives the implementing agent a fresh context window (smarter), and keeps the manager's context free of implementation details.
- **Background work:** Sometimes you want to have Claude Code go research something or answer a question without blocking the main thread of work.
- **Visibility:** `claude-team` spawns real Claude Code sessions. You can watch them, interrupt and take control, or close them out.

But, *why not just use Claude Code sub-agents*, you ask? They're opaque -- they go off and do things and you, the user, cannot effectively monitor their work, interject, or continue a conversation with them. Using a full Claude Code session obviates this problem.

### Terminal Backends

`claude-team` supports two terminal backends:

| Backend | Platform | Status |
|---------|----------|--------|
| **tmux** | macOS, Linux | Primary. Auto-selected when running inside tmux. |
| **iTerm2** | macOS only | Fully supported. Requires Python API enabled. |

Backend selection order:
1. `CLAUDE_TEAM_TERMINAL_BACKEND` environment variable (`tmux` or `iterm`)
2. Config file setting (`terminal.backend`)
3. Auto-detect: if `TMUX` env var is set, use tmux; otherwise iTerm2

### Git Worktrees: Isolated Branches per Worker
