New Claude Code Enables Remote Control of Your Terminal Session From Your Phone

## Product Update: Remote Control Feature for Claude Code

Product Update: Remote Control Feature for Claude Code

Anthropic has introduced a new feature called "Remote Control" for its agentic terminal tool, Claude Code. This feature allows developers to initiate tasks in their local terminal and manage them from a mobile device or browser.

The feature is activated by running claude rc or claude remote-control in the terminal. Users can configure it to run by default using the /config command and enabling "Remote Control for all sessions".

Feature Parameter Technical Spec Security Context

Activation claude rc Starts outbound polling to Anthropic API

Default Setting Config toggle Can be enabled for all sessions

Network Exposure Outbound HTTPS only No open inbound ports

Encryption TLS + short-lived tokens Reduces hijacking risk

Concurrency 1 active session Prevents command conflicts

Timeout 10-minute disconnect limit Auto-terminates on network loss

Execution Local machine Full local file & MCP access

Access Tier Research Preview Currently limited availability

The feature is not a cloud migration tool. It maintains execution on the local host machine, ensuring accessibility to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, environment variables, and project configurations. The mobile app or web interface serves as a remote front-end. Each Claude Code instance supports one remote session, requiring the local terminal to stay active.

The Remote Control feature is designed to minimize network exposure by relying on outbound HTTPS requests without opening inbound ports. The local agent registers with the Anthropic API and uses a secure streaming connection for communication. All traffic is encrypted over TLS with short-lived credentials to prevent token theft or session hijacking.

Feature Execution Location Resource Access Best Use Case

Remote Control Local machine Full local file and tool access Remote monitoring and debugging

Code on the Web Cloud VM Sandboxed, limited access Safe testing and parallel tasks

Despite the robust security model, local agent vulnerabilities remain a concern. A recent flaw, CVE-2025-59536, exposed risks of Remote Code Execution (RCE) and API token exfiltration in Claude Code's project configuration files and MCP integrations. Anthropic addressed these issues by requiring explicit user consent for MCP execution and network operations, emphasizing the importance of local repository hygiene.
