Official Remote Control: Core Concepts

⏱ Est. reading time: 3 min Updated on 5/7/2026

The official Remote Control feature has evolved rapidly through several versions of Claude Code.

Key Milestones

  • v2.1.34 (2026-02-06): Added /teleport and /remote-env for session recovery.
  • v2.1.51 (2026-02-23): Introduced claude remote-control command for headless hosting.
  • v2.1.79 (2026-03-18): VSCode plugin added /remote-control bridge.
  • v2.1.110 (2026-04-15): Added push notification tools for active alerts.

Core Mechanisms

Remote Control is not a separate session; it's a network entry point for your local session.

Entrance Location Purpose
/remote-control Inside CLI Bridges current session to web.
claude remote-control Shell Starts a headless host process.
/teleport Inside CLI "Teleports" session between devices.
Push notification Agent-called Sends push alerts to your phone.

mempalace

MemPalace is a local-first AI memory tool designed to store conversation history verbatim and retrieve it through semantic search, without summarizing or paraphrasing. It utilizes a structured index, categorizing information into "wings," "rooms," and "drawers" to enable scoped searches. The retrieval layer is pluggable (ChromaDB by default), ensuring all data remains on the user's machine unless opted out. It achieves an impressive 96.6% R@5 raw recall on the LongMemEval benchmark, notably without requiring LLMs or API calls, showcasing high performance in a local environment.

code-review-graph

code-review-graph is an AI-assisted code review tool that builds a structural map of code using Tree-sitter and incrementally tracks changes to provide precise context to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This approach significantly reduces token consumption by enabling AI models to read only the minimal set of files relevant to a change, rather than the entire codebase. It aims to solve the token waste problem in large repositories and monorepos, improving the efficiency and quality of AI code reviews.

claude-context

Claude Context is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) plugin developed by Zilliztech, designed to provide deep code context to Claude Code and other AI coding assistants. It leverages semantic search to efficiently retrieve relevant code snippets from entire codebases, injecting them directly into the AI's context. This approach addresses the limitations of context windows and high costs associated with large codebases by storing the codebase in a vector database for efficient management and cost-effectiveness.
