+# Story 183: Refactor Matrix bot to use Claude Code provider instead of direct Anthropic API
+
+## User Story
+
+As a developer, I want the Matrix bot to use the same Claude Code subprocess provider as the web UI chat, so that tool access, billing, and session management are consistent across both interfaces.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Replace direct Anthropic API calls in bot.rs with the ClaudeCodeProvider from server/src/llm/providers/claude_code.rs
+- [ ] Remove hardcoded mcp_tool_schemas() function — Claude Code manages its own tools
+- [ ] Bot uses the same MCP tool permission model as the web UI (initially auto-approve for all Story Kit MCP tools)
+- [ ] Remove the reqwest-based call_mcp_tool() HTTP self-call — Claude Code calls MCP tools natively
+- [ ] Bot no longer requires a separate Anthropic API key path — uses Claude Code billing
+- [ ] Existing bot.toml configuration (homeserver, username, password, room_id, enabled) still works
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
