Install Remote Arc for Claude
Connect Claude to a paired computer through a remote MCP connector while keeping device permissions and operating-system execution on the computer you control.
1. Pair the target computer
Run npx remotelink on the Windows, macOS or Linux computer Claude should reach. Approve pairing in your Remote Arc account and confirm the device is online. The paired-device identity is independent from the Claude connector authorization.
2. Add the Remote Arc connector
In Claude, add a custom connector that points to https://mcp.remotearc.app/mcp and complete Remote Arc OAuth. Claude can then discover the Remote Arc tools available to the account and route permitted calls to the selected paired computer.
3. Control the boundary per device
A development workstation can expose editing and terminal tools while another computer remains read-only. Trusted Write Locations, protected paths and local policy still apply regardless of which compatible AI client is connected.
4. Test with a narrow first action
Ask Claude to list devices and read a harmless file or inspect a project directory before enabling broader actions. Confirm the computer and path are correct, then add edit or terminal permissions only if the task actually needs them.
