Remote Control is a feature that lets you keep Claude Code running locally, but continue the same session from somewhere else.

For example, you can start a session on your laptop, then later open claude.ai slash code from a different computer, or use the Claude mobile app, and pick up right where you left off.

The key point is that the Claude Code process stays on your machine. That means it keeps full access to your repository, your local tools, and any MCP servers you have configured.

To start a new remote session, run: claude remote-control

If you already have a Claude Code session open, you can enable remote control from inside it by typing: /remote-control Or the short alias: /rc

At the time of this course update, Remote Control is a research preview available on Claude subscription plans. Team and Enterprise owners can disable it by policy. You need to be logged in with an Anthropic account; API-key sessions are not supported. Keep the local Claude Code process online, because the work is still running on your machine.
