# Code Remote

> Use this tool when you need to execute local commands and access files securely from a remote AI assistant, solving problems of remote machine control and automation. It takes in commands and authentication tokens as inputs and outputs execution results, providing a secure interface for shell commands, file operations, and directory listing. Use Code Remote in contexts where local machine automation is required, such as data processing, file management, and system administration tasks.

## Description

Code Remote enables AI assistants to execute commands on your local machine through a secure relay architecture. The system consists of a cloud-hosted server that exposes MCP tools for shell commands, file operations, and directory listing, paired with a local agent that runs on your machine and executes the actual commands. Commands are queued through WebSocket connections with token-based authentication, and the agent restricts file access to safe directories for security.
