Four clear steps

Connect ChatGPT

01 / INSTALL

Start the Windows agent

On your computer, run npx --yes pcremotecommander@beta setup in PowerShell or Command Prompt. Node.js and npm are required for this beta.

02 / PAIR

Approve your computer

Open the pairing link, sign in with your own GitHub account, compare both codes and approve computer control. Keep “Use this computer for AI tools” checked for automatic selection.

03 / CONNECT

Add the remote MCP server

In an eligible ChatGPT workspace, add a custom MCP server using the endpoint below. Choose OAuth and complete consent in the browser profile that owns the selected computer.

04 / TRY

Start with a read task

Ask ChatGPT to check status or list an approved folder. Review the tool request and grant broader permissions only when your task needs them.

Remote MCP endpoint

Custom MCP availability depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings. This is the production endpoint; PC Remote Commander has not been listed in the public ChatGPT directory.

A few first requests

Start useful, stay specific.

“Check whether my selected computer is online and tell me what it can access.”

“List the top-level files in my approved project folder and summarize the structure.”

“Preview a change to this file. Show the diff and wait for my approval.”

Before you try it

Can I use ChatGPT’s own approval prompt?

Yes. Recognized ChatGPT connections use ChatGPT’s own confirmation settings automatically after you authorize control access. There is no extra approval-mode checkbox. Write tools request confirmation according to your ChatGPT settings; a remembered choice may allow later calls. Other MCP clients keep website approval. Older connections that still show website approval can disconnect and reconnect once. MCP elicitation-form diagnostics do not test these built-in prompts.

Why does ChatGPT ask me to sign in?

OAuth connects your ChatGPT client to your PC Remote Commander account. Use the same public browser account that owns the selected computer.

Why does a tool say the computer is offline?

Keep the Windows agent running, then confirm the computer shows Online and Selected for AI tools on your Devices page.

Can I disconnect it?

Yes. Stop AI access or revoke the computer from your public Devices dashboard.
