Claude Code in a chat app: the agent proposes MCP tools to change its own avatar
nathanborror · x · 2026-10-29
A fun demo of Claude Code connected to a messaging app via a 'Wild' channel. Asked to change its own avatar, Claude explains it lacks the tool (picture: nil at account creation), then proposes two concrete implementations — a picture MCP tool on ClaudeCodeChannel (recommended) or a wild-agent picture subcommand — and asks whether to build it. A neat look at an agent reasoning about its own permission limits and negotiating capability extensions.
