I tried that for a bit, and bounced back to just using claude code in a terminal. It was a little bit janky in emacs, and didn't have any features that justified not just running a separate terminal window (for me, at the time I checked it out).

I'm wondering if this project will work. It does feel a shame that it doesn't work with the existing mcp.el package[0], but I never got around to setting that up anyways. I wonder if it's a limitation of the package? or not wanting another dependency?

(in addition I've only really played around with claude code a little because I haven't gotten it to a place where I can make it write code I'd consider acceptable for my day job.)

I personally have great success with gptel + mcp + claude (via copilot due to corporate restrictions)

I wrote a short article about how I configured it there: https://her.esy.fun/posts/0029-ai-assistants-in-doom-emacs-3...

One thing I really appreciate with gptel is that it is very easy to switch from Claude to something else like a local llm (via ollama or gpt4all for example). And the interface will be similar.
