Drive your local Claude Code session from your phone
Run claude remote-control on your machine, then connect from the Claude mobile app to approve builds, poke CI failures, and keep coding with full local tools.
The problem
You’re away from the desk when a long agent run needs approval or a CI failure needs a quick fix, but cloud Claude lacks your local MCP servers and private toolchain.
The hack
On the laptop: `claude remote-control --name "My Project"`. On the phone: Claude app → Code → connect to that named server. The phone is a window; execution stays local.
Why it works
Official remote-control docs: interaction syncs, execution does not — local MCP, filesystem, and configs stay available while you drive from mobile.
Setup
1. In the project directory run `claude remote-control --name "My Dev Server"`. 2. Note the session URL / QR. 3. Open the Claude mobile app → Code → select your server. 4. Approve prompts and continue the task from the phone. 5. Optional: `claude remote-control --spawn worktree --capacity 4` for multi-session capacity.
