- Remote Control is available on Pro and Max plans, not Team or Enterprise.
- Allows use of local environment remotely: filesystem, MCP servers, tools, and project configuration.
- Syncs conversations across devices (terminal, browser, phone).
- Automatically reconnects after interruptions like laptop sleep or network drops.
- Requires Pro or Max plan, authentication via `claude` and `/login`, and workspace trust.
- Start sessions via `claude remote-control` or connect to existing ones.
- Supports flags like `--verbose` and `--sandbox`/`--no-sandbox`.
- Connect from another device via session URL, QR code, or Claude app.
- Enable Remote Control for all sessions via `/config`.
- Each Claude Code instance supports one remote session at a time.
- Uses outbound HTTPS requests only, no inbound ports; all traffic over TLS.
- Remote Control runs locally, while Claude Code on the web runs in cloud infrastructure.
- Limitations: one remote session per instance, terminal must stay open, sessions timeout after ~10 minutes of network outage.
