While I'm happy that simultaneously there are at least 5 known Emacs/Claude Code integration packages, with seemingly 2 or 3 battling it out on Reddit and elsewhere, I feel like the best implemented one is the quiet one that no one has ever talked about.

https://github.com/yuya373/claude-code-emacs <- it literally implements every feature that every other ones have.

I don't know how popular it is but it may be the easiest one to install:

https://melpa.org/#/claude-code

It doesn’t look like that had the /ide integration that Claude-code-ide has

It absolutely does. Give it a try.

I just tried it. It does not support /ide integration. You can test this by typing /ide in claude code. MCP support is not the same thing as IDE support.

Oh you mean something like active file awareness and selection context? This code seems quite well architected and has websockets well integrated, both features sound like a lunch break’s worth of work if you file a ticket. Other than that, I couldn’t care less about how these capabilities are implemented or whether /ide works.
