How it works
The plugin runs a local MCP server that long-polls the WeChat iLink Bot API for new messages. No public URL or webhook needed — everything runs locally. Messages from allowed senders are forwarded to your Claude Code session; Claude replies back through the same API.
Key difference from Telegram/Feishu
WeChat requires a context_token to be passed back when replying. This token comes from the inbound message and is automatically included in the channel notification metadata. Claude passes it back through the reply tool.
