Find and update your files
Ask: “Find the configuration file in my project and show the changes needed.” Search, read, and edit within the permissions you grant.
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor to your Windows PC. Ask your assistant to find files, make edits, run commands, or work with apps—then review the actions it requests.
Start free with 15,000 tool calls per UTC month.
A small agent runs on your PC. PCRC connects it to your AI assistant through MCP, the protocol assistants use to call tools. You choose the computer and approve its access.
Ask: “Find the configuration file in my project and show the changes needed.” Search, read, and edit within the permissions you grant.
Ask: “Check why my build failed.” Your assistant can inspect command output and propose the next step. Commands require control access.
Ask: “Explain the error on this page.” With browser or desktop access enabled, your assistant can inspect the interface and use supported controls.
PCRC is the connection and control layer between a compatible AI client and a PC you authorize. Bring your assistant; keep your files, commands and apps on the computer that needs the work.
Connect a compatible ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor client to your paired Windows PC. For example, ask it to inspect a local test failure and read the result without manually copying command output into chat.
Pair your computers, choose which one receives new AI requests, view usage and revoke a device when you are finished. The selected PC must stay online with its agent running.
Split a project: one assistant builds a feature, another writes tests, and a third reviews the result. Up to three active task assignments can reserve separate file areas. Use PCRC task tools for reservations and handoffs; conflicting writes and stale edits are rejected.
| Your goal | Practical choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Build, debug and test a project with your preferred AI | PCRC with a compatible assistant | Connect Codex and Claude Code to the same PCRC MCP server using your account. Give each assistant a separate task—for example, one implements a feature while the other writes tests or reviews it. PCRC task assignments help coordinate handoffs and block conflicting writes among participating tools. |
| Use a preferred MCP chat client with a paired PC | PCRC remote MCP | Use a shared computer-access service with account-bound pairing, device selection and revocation. PCRC supplies tools; your chosen AI supplies the reasoning. |
| Run a specific local task or script | PCRC CLI | Use direct local commands and workflow guidance when you know the operation. The CLI is not an autonomous coding assistant. |
You connect each compatible assistant and assign its work; PCRC does not automatically launch models or merge every change. Reservations cover participating PCRC tools, not unrelated programs or manual edits. Codex and Claude Code can also be used as coding agents alongside your workflow. It does not include a model subscription or make an assistant smarter. Supported actions depend on your client and granted permissions. Compare the Codex CLI and Claude Code guides.
Try PCRC on your computer →Choose a guide below. Each client connects to your own PCRC account using OAuth. Keep the local agent online while working.
https://pc-remote-commander.pcremotecommander.workers.dev/mcpIn an eligible ChatGPT workspace, add a custom MCP server, enter the endpoint, choose OAuth, and review the discovered tools. Availability depends on your plan and workspace permissions.
Step-by-step ChatGPT guide →In Customize → Connectors, add a custom connector with this endpoint. Choose OAuth sign-in, then connect your account and enable the tools you need.
Step-by-step Claude guide →In Cursor MCP settings, add a remote Streamable HTTP server with this endpoint, then complete OAuth. Keep your computer online and selected.
Step-by-step Cursor guide →Use PowerShell, Command Prompt, or Windows Terminal on the computer you want to connect. Run the setup command below. Python is bundled; if Node.js is missing, use the automatic installer underneath.

The public dashboard manages your paired computers, selected device, permissions, usage, and plan. Your AI client is where you ask for tasks; the local agent carries them out on your PC.
No. Bring a compatible MCP client and its required plan. PCRC connects that client to your computer’s tools.
The public npm beta supports Windows. Linux has a development source setup, but no verified public download yet. See Linux availability and source instructions.
Tool results pass through the gateway to your assistant and may become part of its conversation. See the draft privacy notice for data flow and current limits.
Yes. Keep the Windows agent running and select the computer in your dashboard for remote MCP requests.
Only when you grant those capabilities to the computer and authorize the client for control. Sensitive actions may also require a separate approval.
Use your Devices dashboard to stop AI access or revoke the computer. Revoking removes its device key.
