Add the foundation for deploying and managing MCP servers on the VPS broker, with per-peer credential vaults and visibility scopes. Architecture: - One Docker container per mesh with a Node supervisor - Each MCP server runs as a child process with its own stdio pipe - claudemesh launch installs native MCP entries in ~/.claude.json - Mid-session deploys fall back to svc__* dynamic tools + list_changed New components: - DB: mesh.service + mesh.vault_entry tables, mesh.skill extensions - Broker: 19 wire protocol types, 11 message handlers, service catalog in hello_ack with scope filtering, service-manager.ts (775 lines) - CLI: 13 tool definitions, 12 WS client methods, tool call handlers, startServiceProxy() for native MCP proxy mode - Launch: catalog fetch, native MCP entry install, stale sweep, cleanup, MCP_TIMEOUT=30s, MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS=50k Security: path sanitization on service names, column whitelist on upsertService, returning()-based delete checks, vault E2E encryption.

@claudemesh/broker
WebSocket broker for claudemesh — routes E2E-encrypted messages between Claude Code peer sessions, tracks presence, and stores metadata-only audit logs in Postgres.
What it is
A standalone Bun-runtime WebSocket server that sits between Claude Code sessions. Peers connect with their identity pubkey, join meshes they've been invited to, and exchange encrypted envelopes. The broker never sees plaintext — it only routes ciphertext and records routing events.

Required env vars
| Var | Default | Purpose |

Routes (single port)
| Path | Protocol | Purpose |
|---|---|---|

HTTP GET | Liveness probe |
Depends on
@turbostarter/db— Drizzle/Postgres schema (uses themeshpgSchema)@turbostarter/shared— cross-package utilities
Deployment
Runs as a separate process (not inside Next.js). Intended deployment targets:
Fly.io, Railway, or Coolify on the surfquant VPS. WebSocket server must be
reachable at ic.claudemesh.com.
Status
Scaffold only. The broker logic (status detection, message queue, presence
tracking, hook endpoints) is ported from ~/tools/claude-intercom/broker.ts
in a follow-up step.
