Dr. Violet Howard shows Claude Code now works through iMessage. Send a message like "scrape YouTube comments from my video" and it runs a skill locally, returning structured analysis of top themes and requests. Setup takes a few commands and the Bun runtime.
All right, I'm in my Cloud Code and it says listening for channel messages from the plugin iMessage. And on my phone right here, I've got iMessage pulled up and I'm gonna shoot off this text that says, scrape the YouTube comments from my recent video and give me a breakdown. And what you'll see right here on my terminal is that we have iMessage and it says scrape the YouTube comments, blah, blah, blah. So this is the exact text that I just sent off. And now Cloud Code is acting as if I just typed this message right here locally on my machine. So it's able to use all of the skills that I've got in here. It's able to look through all of these different folders and files. It's able to use my API keys and things like that. And we're able to, on our terminal, watch all of this happening. And as you can see, what it did is it used my YouTube Analyzer skill in order to achieve this for us. So that skill finished up and it sent the reply back to myself in iMessage. And so right here in my iMessage, you can see here it is. We have the top themes: feature access frustration, token usage limit anxiety, NNN pivot backlash, Open Claw versus Cloud Code, all of this kind of stuff. We have strongest video requests like Manus AI, Cloud Code plus APIs, blah, blah, blah. And then we have standout comments. All right, so Cloud Code released channels, which you probably already knew about. This came out about a week ago, but this basically allowed you to start talking to your Cloud Code session through select MCPs, and this started with Telegram and Discord. But it seemed like it was just today that they announced that iMessage is now also available as a channel, which is super exciting. Now the coolest part about this is it might seem like you need to know how to set up like some sort of weird bridge or a tunnel, but it actually couldn't be simpler. You basically just run a few commands, run the plugin, and you're all set. So as we know, we have 3 supported channels right now, and it does require you to install Bun. So I didn't know what that was before looking at all this stuff. All you have to do is, you know, take this link up here, give it to Claude Code and say, hey, I wanna set up a channel for Discord or for iMessage. Read this documentation and then help me set up everything. And it will basically install everything that you need.
