matterircd
A minimal IRC server that bridges Mattermost, Slack, and Mastodon, allowing you to use any IRC client.
What is matterircd?
Matterircd is an IRC server that bridges IRC clients to collaboration platforms like Mattermost, Slack, and Mastodon. It translates IRC protocol commands into API calls for these services, allowing users to send messages, join channels, and manage conversations entirely through an IRC interface. This solves the problem of platform lock-in by letting teams use familiar IRC tools with modern chat systems.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who prefer IRC clients but need to interact with Mattermost, Slack, or Mastodon teams. It's also valuable for organizations wanting to unify chat access through a single protocol.
Developers choose Matterircd because it's a lightweight, self-hosted bridge with extensive protocol support and no vendor lock-in. Unlike web-based clients, it enables automation, scripting, and integration with existing IRC workflows while supporting advanced features like threading and reactions.
Overview
Connect to your mattermost or slack using your IRC-client of choice.

Best For
