Connect Remote Arc to your AI
Add Remote Arc to the AI you already use, connect your computer or your apps, then decide what that computer allows. It takes about five minutes, and every part can be changed or revoked later on its own.
1. Add Remote Arc to your AI client
Every compatible client uses the same Remote MCP address, https://mcp.remotearc.app/mcp. Add it where your client lists connectors or MCP servers; the client opens Remote Arc's sign-in page, where you sign in and approve access. Step-by-step guides cover ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Cursor.
2. Connect your computer, your apps, or both
Install the Remote Arc app on the Windows, macOS or Linux computer you want the AI to use, or run npx remotelink where Node.js is installed. It opens your browser to confirm pairing. No VPN, public IP or open port is needed. Apps such as email or calendars are authorized under Apps in your Connect workspace and run in the cloud without a paired computer.
3. Decide what the computer allows
A newly paired computer starts in Safe, which is read-only. Developer adds creating and editing files, which Local Undo can reverse, and needs a Trusted Write Location. Full adds terminal commands and background processes after a confirmation. browser_runner is a separate switch, off by default, that lets the AI use websites only on the sites each task names, in a separate Remote Arc window or in your own Chrome when you allow it. Your AI client's authorization never goes beyond these settings.
4. Try a small request
Start a new chat and ask the AI to list the computers you connected, or to show the largest files in your Downloads folder. If the AI cannot see Remote Arc, refresh or reconnect the connector in your client; if a computer shows as offline, make sure it is on and the Remote Arc app is running.
