How It Leaked

Chaofan Shou (@Fried_rice) discovered that the published npm package for Claude Code included a .map file referencing the full, unobfuscated TypeScript source — downloadable as a zip from Anthropic's R2 storage bucket.

"Claude code source code has been leaked via a map file in their npm registry!"

— @Fried_rice, March 31, 2026

�🔍 Explore with MCP Server

This repo ships an MCP server that lets any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor) explore the full source interactively.

Install from npm

The MCP server is published as warrioraashuu-codemaster on npm — no need to clone the repo:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add warrioraashuu-codemaster -- npx -y warrioraashuu-codemaster

One-liner setup (from source)

git clone https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code.git ~/claude-code \
  && cd ~/claude-code/mcp-server \
  && npm install && npm run build \
  && claude mcp add claude-code-explorer -- node ~/claude-code/mcp-server/dist/index.js

<details> <summary><strong>Step-by-step setup</strong></summary>

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code.git
cd claude-code/mcp-server

# 2. Install & build
npm install && npm run build

# 3. Register with Claude Code
claude mcp add claude-code-explorer -- node /absolute/path/to/claude-code/mcp-server/dist/index.js

Replace /absolute/path/to/claude-code with your actual clone path.

</details> <details> <summary><strong>VS Code / Cursor / Claude Desktop config</strong></summary>

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "claude-code-explorer": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["${workspaceFolder}/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "CLAUDE_CODE_SRC_ROOT": "${workspaceFolder}/src" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop — add to your config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-code-explorer": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/claude-code/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "CLAUDE_CODE_SRC_ROOT": "/absolute/path/to/claude-code/src" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor — add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (same format as Claude Desktop).

4. Bridge System

src/bridge/ — Bidirectional communication layer connecting IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains) with the CLI.

Key files: bridgeMain.ts (main loop) · bridgeMessaging.ts (protocol) · bridgePermissionCallbacks.ts (permission callbacks) · replBridge.ts (REPL session) · jwtUtils.ts (JWT auth) · sessionRunner.ts (session execution)

5. Permission System

src/hooks/toolPermission/ — Checks permissions on every tool invocation.

Prompts the user for approval/denial or auto-resolves based on the configured permission mode: default, plan, bypassPermissions, auto, etc.

6. Feature Flags

Dead code elimination at build time via Bun's bun:bundle:

import { feature } from 'bun:bundle'

const voiceCommand = feature('VOICE_MODE')
  ? require('./commands/voice/index.js').default
  : null

Notable flags: PROACTIVE · KAIROS · BRIDGE_MODE · DAEMON · VOICE_MODE · AGENT_TRIGGERS · MONITOR_TOOL

---

Key Files

File	Lines	Purpose
QueryEngine.ts	~46K	Core LLM API engine — streaming, tool loops, thinking mode, retries, token counting
Tool.ts	~29K	Base types/interfaces for all tools — input schemas, permissions, progress state
commands.ts	~25K	Command registration & execution with conditional per-environment imports
main.tsx	—	CLI parser + React/Ink renderer; parallelizes MDM, keychain, and GrowthBook on startup

---

Tech Stack

Terminal UI	React + Ink
CLI Parsing	Commander.js (extra-typings)
Schema Validation	Zod v4
Code Search	ripgrep (via GrepTool)
Protocols	MCP SDK · LSP
API	Anthropic SDK
Telemetry	OpenTelemetry + gRPC
Feature Flags	GrowthBook
Auth	OAuth 2.0 · JWT · macOS Keychain

Design Patterns

<details> <summary><strong>Parallel Prefetch</strong> — Startup optimization</summary>

MDM settings, keychain reads, and API preconnect fire in parallel as side-effects before heavy module evaluation:

// main.tsx
startMdmRawRead()
startKeychainPrefetch()

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Lazy Loading</strong> — Deferred heavy modules</summary>

OpenTelemetry (~400KB) and gRPC (~700KB) are loaded via dynamic import() only when needed.

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Agent Swarms</strong> — Multi-agent orchestration</summary>

Sub-agents spawn via AgentTool, with coordinator/ handling orchestration. TeamCreateTool enables team-level parallel work.

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Skill System</strong> — Reusable workflows</summary>

Defined in skills/ and executed through SkillTool. Users can add custom skills.

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Plugin Architecture</strong> — Extensibility</summary>

Built-in and third-party plugins loaded through the plugins/ subsystem.

</details>

GitPretty Setup

<details> <summary>Show per-file emoji commit messages in GitHub's file UI</summary>

# Apply emoji commits
bash ./gitpretty-apply.sh .

# Optional: install hooks for future commits
bash ./gitpretty-apply.sh . --hooks

# Push as usual
git push origin main
