[FEATURE] Disable local command execution and work with local files at all. Hard.

Problem Statement

Claude Code Desktop doesn't have a built-in setting to disable local command execution. There's no config flags like:

"localExecution": false #(Execute only remote)
"localWrite": false #(Write only remote)
"localRead": false #(Read only remote)

Claude Chat said:

Combined with rejecting any local command Claude Code proposes. After a few rejections it will learn within the session to only use the ssh-mcp tools. This isn't perfect, but it's the closest you can get today. If full local lockdown matters to you, it might be worth submitting as a feature request to Anthropic — a "remote-only mode" for Claude Code would be genuinely useful.

Proposed Solution

If it possible.

Better to have hard switch inside Claude Code. So that under no circumstances could it launch anything locally by mistake during operation, no way. No write operations locally, no run anything. Only orchestrate directly through MCPs and only read data directly received through MCP, without creating temporary files(better) on local machine(only when working with Claude AI). In general, so that the AI ​​itself cannot do anything locally - write/exec/read, means Claude AI.

For example if i run SSH-MCP server locally on my main Windows machine and configure globally this local SSH-MCP server for all projects in my Claude Code then all commands strictly goto SSH-MCP through local STDIO -> remote testing Linux machines. Don`t matter what type of MCP is used.

Thanks.
