What's Wrong?

While trying to run /remote-control, i encountered all errors. So followed:

  1. validate node.js is 18+: it is 24.11.1.
  2. validate CC is up-to-date: it is 2.1.63.
  3. re-authenticate CC with Anthropic to activate new token.
  4. ran it inside Claude Code: /remote-control - not exist.
  5. ran it outside on powershell 7: claude remote-control. Got the y/N validation, and upon "y", got the following error: "Session failed: C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe: bad option: --sdk-url session_01R........"

What Should Happen?

as /remote-control should deliver when work properly - qr code for scan and accessibility from (in my case) iOS Claude app.
