// use cases

Get a second opinion on code inside an MCP client

When a developer is already working in Codex or another MCP client, this tool can bridge the request to Claude Code CLI. It is useful for getting extra analysis and suggestions without changing code.

Run a read-only review of an implementation plan

Before refactoring, fixing bugs, or evaluating a technical approach, users can ask Claude Code CLI for a read-only second opinion. This adds another model perspective before execution.
