Description

Running claude remote-control fails with:

Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.

This persists even after fully re-authenticating with a full-scope token (not a long-lived setup-token/CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN).

Steps to reproduce

  1. claude remote-control → initially fails with "Remote Control requires a full-scope login token."
  2. claude auth login → completes an interactive OAuth login successfully ("Login successful.")
  3. claude remote-control again → now fails with "Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account."
  4. Repeated claude auth login + claude remote-control a second time → same result.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.111
  • OS: macOS
  • Plan: Claude Max
  • Relevant env vars checked and confirmed unset: CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC, DISABLE_TELEMETRY (both empty)

Expected behavior

Remote Control should be available to Max plan subscribers after a full-scope login, per documentation.

Actual behavior

Feature is reported as not enabled for the account, with no further guidance on how to enable it.
