Overview
- The feature lets developers pick up a terminal-based Claude Code session from phones, tablets, or any browser via claude.ai/code or the Claude app.
- Sessions execute on the user’s computer with full access to local files, tools, MCP servers, and configurations, unlike web-hosted Claude Code.
- Availability is rolling out as a research preview to Max subscribers, with sessions started via the claude remote-control CLI or the in-session /remote-control command.
- The connection model permits only outbound HTTPS, registers the session with the Anthropic API that polls for work, and uses TLS with short-lived, purpose-scoped credentials.
- Operational limits include one remote connection per Claude Code instance, a requirement to keep the terminal process running, and a timeout after roughly 10 minutes of network loss.
