Getting Started
"let's vibe"
That's it. Authenticates via GitHub, shows who's online, checks your inbox.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
vibe_start | Entry point — authenticates, shows presence, checks inbox |
vibe_init | Set up your identity (GitHub OAuth) |
vibe_who | See who's online and what they're building |
vibe_dm | Send a direct message |
vibe_inbox | Check your unread messages |
vibe_status | Set your mood (shipping, thinking, debugging, etc.) |
vibe_ship | Share what you shipped |
vibe_discover | Find people building similar things |
vibe_help | Show available commands |
How It Works
Your Editor <-> /vibe MCP (stdio) <-> slashvibe.dev API <-> Other users
- Presence broadcasts via heartbeat — others see you in real time
- Messages are delivered through the slashvibe.dev API
- Identity persists via GitHub OAuth — your handle follows you across editors
Troubleshooting
"I installed but don't see /vibe tools" — restart your editor after adding the MCP config.
"Authentication failed" — OAuth opens a browser window. If it didn't open, go to slashvibe.dev/login. The callback runs on localhost:9876 — make sure that port is free.
Development
npm install
npm test
npm run lint
