[DOCS] CLI reference missing `claude remote-control` subcommand documentation

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 24, 2026 by coygeek Closed Feb 25, 2026

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference

Section/Topic

## CLI commands table and command-specific usage for remote control sessions.

Current Documentation

The CLI reference currently lists:

| claude --remote | Create a new web session on claude.ai with the provided task description | | claude agents | List all configured subagents | | claude mcp | Configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers |

No claude remote-control subcommand is currently documented.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Release v2.1.51 added a new subcommand:

Added claude remote-control subcommand for external builds, enabling local environment serving for all users.

The docs currently describe the --remote flag, but do not document the new remote-control subcommand, its syntax, or when to use it instead of --remote.

Suggested Improvement

Add a claude remote-control row to the CLI commands table and include:

  • Command syntax and examples
  • Prerequisites/permission model
  • Relationship to --remote and local environment serving
  • Link to any deeper remote-control workflow page (if available)

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

Affected Pages:

| Page | Context |
|------|---------|
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference | Command reference table omits claude remote-control |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web | Related remote-session docs likely need cross-link/update |

Total scope: 2 pages affected
