Connect Claude

Add Remote.It as a connector in Claude so it can inventory and manage your devices in conversation, using OAuth sign-in with no API keys.

This guide adds Remote.It as a connector in Claude, so Claude can see and manage your devices in conversation.

Preview release. Use the preview URL below for now. It will change when the MCP server is fully released.

Claude web & desktop

Custom connectors are configured once in your Claude settings and are then available in Claude on the web (claude.ai), the desktop apps, and mobile.

Custom connectors require a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin may need to add the connector for the organization.

1

Add the connector

Open claude.ai and go to Settings → Connectors, then click Add custom connector. Enter a name (e.g. Remote.It) and the server URL:

https://mcp.demo.remote.it/mcp

Click Add.

2

Sign in to Remote.It

Claude opens a browser window to sign in. Use your normal Remote.It account (social sign-in and 2FA work as usual), then review the consent screen — this is where you choose what the assistant may do (see Permissions & Safety).

3

Enable it in a conversation

Back in Claude, start a new conversation and make sure the Remote.It connector is enabled in the tools menu (the sliders icon in the chat input).

Try it out:

Which of my devices are online?

Claude Code

Add the server with one command:

claude mcp add --transport http remoteit https://mcp.demo.remote.it/mcp

The first time a Remote.It tool is used, Claude Code walks you through the same browser sign-in. Use /mcp inside Claude Code to check connection status or re-authenticate.

Other MCP clients

Any MCP client that supports the Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 authorization can connect using the same URL — no client registration or API keys required. Consult your client's documentation for adding a remote MCP server.

Troubleshooting

• Sign-in window doesn't appear — pop-up blockers can suppress the OAuth window. Allow pop-ups for your Claude client and retry.

• Claude says it has no Remote.It tools — check that the connector is enabled for the current conversation in the tools menu, then start a new conversation.

• "No devices found" but you have devices — you may have granted limited access at sign-in. Remove the connector and add it again to re-run consent with broader access.

• Connector stopped working — during the preview period the server URL may change. Check this page for the current URL.
