You can add TLS by passing your cert .crt and .key files,

microchat -mode=server -addr :4321 -tls -cert=server.crt -key=server.key

Here's a handy command to generate a self-signed cert,

openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout server.key -out server.crt -days 365 -subj "/CN=localhost"

Client

microchat -addr :4321

You can also connect using TLS,

microchat -addr :4321 -tls
