cc-remote is an ACP agent that runs Claude Code with the model, login, and subscription on a server reachable over SSH while executing file operations, shell commands, and local MCP servers on the user's machine. It presents Claude Code to ACP clients such as Zed, acpc, and paseo, without requiring Claude Code or a Claude login on the local machine.
The tool starts Claude through SSH and bridges the agent's stdin/stdout stream. It disables Claude Code's remote built-in file and shell tools and replaces them with local implementations, mapping remote and local paths so clients can display edits, terminals, permissions, sessions, resumes, and forks. Sessions are mirrored locally, while the server retains the model, system prompt, web search, subagents, skills, and server-side MCP configuration.
cc-remote is distributed as a locally built binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows. It requires passwordless SSH access to a server with a logged-in Claude Code installation; the local build uses Bun, and Windows uses the system OpenSSH client. It also provides doctor and CLI commands, SSH connection reuse where supported, and local OAuth handling for bridged HTTP or SSE MCP servers. The project documents limitations including unavailable local project-level Claude configuration on the server, server-side file checkpoints, and disabled LSP, Monitor, and worktree tools.

Runs Claude Code as an ACP agent with a split setup: the model runs on a remote server over SSH while file reads, edits, and shell commands happen on your own machine. Plugs into ACP clients like Zed with session mirroring, resume, and fork.
