I've searched far and wide, and haven't been able to figure out how.

You really don't, unless you're comfortable with writing tons of code
with little likelihood of working. If you need a client that you can
extend, I recommend checking out something else on the Desktop
platform, i.e. HexChat on Windows/Linux or Textual on Mac.

Adding to this - If you want something with 24/7 connectivity like
IRCCloud offers, checkout [ZNC](http://wiki.znc.in). It's highly
scriptable (including modules for Python and Perl) and a breeze to
setup. A small VPS to host it on is about the same as IRCCloud
(~$5/month) and you can use it for anything you like (website, ZNC,
etc...). It works natively with most clients.

I don't think you can

Additionally, if you want both IRC cloud and ZNC, you can use The
Lounge

The Lounge is fantastic as a 24/7 web interface + bouncer. The
downside is that you can't use any other client with it, which can be
rather limiting, especially on a mobile device.

I actually keep The Lounge running on my ZNC server with an auto-away
fork for when I close the window. Gives me a quick web interface to
access with all my networks from anywhere + I can use it with any
client.

Auto-way should be merged to master soon!

Also, the responsive/mobile view is pretty nice imo, that's why I
prefer it over IRCCloud
