What's Wrong?

Running claude remote-control fails with an OAuth scope error. The token issued at login is not being granted the user:sessions:claude_code scope. This appears to be server-side — no local config issues found.

What Should Happen?

Remote Control should start successfully, displaying a session URL and QR code, as documented for Max plan subscribers.

Error Messages/Logs

Error: Registration: Access denied (403): OAuth token does not meet scope requirement user:sessions:claude_code. Check your organization permissions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Log in via claude logout then claude login (fresh OAuth token)
  2. Run claude remote-control
  3. Error appears immediately
  4. Confirmed: no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set, no DISABLE_TELEMETRY, no managed_settings.json, no MDM policy files

Additional Information

Account email is on a business domain (dines.co.uk) but this is a personally-billed Max subscription (stripe_subscription) — not a Teams or Enterprise account. Suspect the domain is triggering org-level scope restrictions server-side.
