What's Wrong?

Running claude rc returns: "Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account."

Claude Code version: 2.1.68
Plan: Claude Pro (claude.ai subscription, not API key)
OS: Windows 11

Steps tried:

  • claude auth logout + claude auth login
  • Tested from project directory
  • Confirmed login shows "Sonnet 4.6 · Claude Pro"

Please enable Remote Control for my account.

What Should Happen?

Running claude rc should start a Remote Control session,
display a session URL and QR code in the terminal,
and allow connecting from the Claude mobile app or claude.ai/code.

As documented at: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control
Remote Control is listed as available for Pro and Max plans.
