ccapproval - Claude Code Approval

INSTALLATION

Add MCP server:

$ claude mcp add ccapproval --scope user \
	-e "SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-..." \
	-e "SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-..." \
	-e "SLACK_CHANNEL=channel for communication" \
	-e "SLACK_MENTION=username for mention (optional)" \
	-- npx ccapproval@0.0.7

Or use MCP config file:

$ claude --mcp-config ~/.config/ccapproval/mcp.json ...

Example: ./examples/mcp-config/

USAGE

$ claude --permission-prompt-tool mcp__ccapproval__tool-approval -p [prompt]

NOTICE

• The --permission-prompt-tool option only works in non-interactive mode in combination with the -p flag. It does not work in interactive mode.
• Hooks are available in interactive mode, but they cannot selectively react only when permission prompts are displayed during pre-use tool events, so this tool does not currently support it.

TIPS

alias claude-p='claude --permission-mode acceptEdits --mcp-config ~/.config/ccapproval/mcp.json --permission-prompt-tool mcp__ccapproval__tool-approval -p'
