Install Remote Arc for ChatGPT
Pair a computer, connect ChatGPT to the Remote Arc MCP endpoint, complete OAuth and choose the capabilities that ChatGPT may use on that device.
1. Pair the computer
Run npx remotelink on the Windows, macOS or Linux machine you want ChatGPT to reach. Sign in to the Remote Arc account that should own the device, approve the short-lived pairing request and confirm the computer appears online before adding the AI connection.
2. Add the Remote MCP connection
Connect ChatGPT to https://mcp.remotearc.app/mcp and complete Remote Arc OAuth when your ChatGPT account supports the required MCP app path. OAuth authorizes the ChatGPT client to the Remote Arc account; it does not replace the separate policy saved for each paired computer.
3. Keep permissions explicit
Start with read access and a small verification request. Enable supported file editing, terminal execution, browser interaction or long-running task permissions only where the workflow requires them. A development computer can have broader permissions while another paired device stays read-only.
4. Verify the target before real work
Ask ChatGPT to list paired devices, name the computer you intend to use and inspect a harmless project directory or text file. Confirm the returned device and path before asking for edits or commands. This establishes that routing, OAuth and the local policy all point at the expected machine.
