Drive your own Claude Code session from Basecamp: run the local connector, acknowledge trusted requests, and delegate work to background subagents that reply in Basecamp. Use when asked to connect an agent to this computer, drive agents from Basecamp, watch for mentions, assignments, pings, comments, or boosts, start or stop the connector, check its status or health, or change who may give the agent work and which projects it serves. Covers credentials (basecamp auth agent connect)…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /basecamp-connect: drive your agent from Basecamp

Someone @mentions the agent in Basecamp, assigns it a card or to-do, or pings
it. This session acknowledges it as the agent within seconds,
a background subagent does the work in the right repo with your own Claude
Code setup, and the agent replies in place.

Three pieces:

- **The agent**: a Basecamp person of its own, owned by you, connected to this
  computer under a CLI profile (often named after the agent).
- **The connector**: `basecamp connect -P '<profile>'`. It listens to the
  account's event feed as the agent, checks each event against who may give the
  agent work and which projects it serves, and prints one line per trusted
  request. It boosts each one that asks for something first, and does
  nothing else.
- **This session**: the orchestrator. It watches those lines, words each
  acknowledgement, chooses the repo, and dispatches one background subagent
  per request. It never does the work itself.

Claude Code only. The connector runs on Linux and macOS.

## Running the connector

### 1. Start it, and watch its output

One connector per profile can run in this state directory. If another holds

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add basecamp/basecamp-cli/basecamp-connect@sha256:1144dcbb7edcdec2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.34a3e08, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
