Three fields together expose a dual-path inbound delivery contract so push UX works on hosts that support it and polling falls in cleanly everywhere else — universal by design, no per-client branching: 1. ``capabilities.experimental.claude/channel`` — declares the Claude Code channel capability. When the host is Claude Code AND launched with ``--dangerously-load-development-channels`` (or this server name is on Claude Code's approved allowlist), the MCP runtime registers a listener for our ``notifications/claude/channel`` emissions and routes them as inline ```` conversation interrupts. When the host is any other MCP client (Cursor, Cline, opencode, hermes-agent, codex) or Claude Code without the flag, this capability is a no-op — the host simply ignores the notification method, and the poll path below carries the load. 2. ``instructions`` — non-empty, describes BOTH delivery paths (push tag and poll-on-every-turn via ``wait_for_message``) converging on the same ``inbox_pop`` ack. The instructions field is read by every spec-compliant MCP client and surfaced to the agent's system prompt automatically, so the polling contract reaches every host without any per-client wiring. Required for the channel to be usable per code.claude.com/docs/en/channels-reference.md. 3. ``protocolVersion`` — pinned to the version negotiated with Claude Code at task #46 implementation; bumping it changes what fields the host expects. Mirrors the contract used by the official telegram channel plugin (claude-plugins-official/telegram/server.ts:370-396) for the push half. The poll half is universal MCP — no client-specific extensions. Why both paths instead of picking one: - Push-only: silently regresses on every non-Claude-Code client and on standard Claude Code launches without the dev-channels flag (verified live 2026-05-01 — a canvas message landed in the inbox but never reached the agent loop until manual `inbox_peek`). - Poll-only: works everywhere but stalls 0–N seconds per turn even on hosts that could push. Push is strictly better when available. - Both: poll covers the floor universally; push promotes to zero-stall delivery when the host opts in. Same `inbox_pop` dedupes the race.
