./rcirc -l <irc_port> <servername>

Get a personal access token - in RocketChat web interface go to

Settings (your avatar in top left) -> My Account -> Personal Access Tokens

eg. https://open.rocket.chat/account/tokens

Then connect with IRC client, for example:

irssi -c localhost -p <irc_port> -w <RocketChat secret token>
irssi -c localhost -p <irc_port> -w <RocketChat personal access token>

The user id generated together with the access token is not required.

Note: ircrc uses the PASS command which is part of the original irc protocol and rarely used today - as opposed to the modern SASL authentication which also has a usename.
