EXZA Remote — AI Computer Commander.

An MCP server for AI-powered remote computer access: connect ChatGPT, Claude, and other compatible AI assistants to your own Mac, Windows, or Linux computer with secure device pairing and owner-controlled permissions.

Official installation and licensing notice: EXZA Remote is a proprietary, hosted MCP service, not an open-source or npm-distributed MCP package. Do not use the third-party command claude mcp add exza-remote -- npx exza-remote: it is not an official EXZA installation command. Instead, sign up at remote.exza.de, install the verified computer client using the official instructions, and add the HTTPS MCP endpoint https://remote.exza.de/mcp in your supported AI client using EXZA OAuth. Do not enter a device PIN as an API token. Report suspected security issues according to SECURITY.md. See NOTICE.md for the proprietary licensing scope.

Use EXZA Remote directly in ChatGPT on the web — not only in Codex

No Codex installation is required for supported ChatGPT web conversations. Connect the EXZA Remote MCP server in ChatGPT's Plugins interface (where your account or workspace allows custom MCP connections), pair your own computer, and ask ChatGPT to inspect permitted files, check a process, or run an owner-approved terminal command right in the conversation. ChatGPT Work and Codex are other supported ways to work with MCP tools where available; Claude can use a compatible custom MCP connection too.

Connect: Create your EXZA account → pair your Mac, Windows, or Linux computer → in supported ChatGPT Web → Plugins → Add custom MCP server, use `https://remote.exza.de/mcp` and sign in through EXZA OAuth → select EXZA Remote in your chat. Step-by-step ChatGPT & Claude setup · Glama MCP directory & Inspector setup.

*ChatGPT availability, full computer/write actions and plugin creation depend on plan, workspace permissions and OpenAI's supported surfaces. Public directory listing is separate from a manually connected MCP server. EXZA Remote is independent of OpenAI, Anthropic and Glama.*

AI remote computer access with MCP — without giving up control

EXZA Remote helps developers, creators, and technical teams connect ChatGPT or Claude to their own computer through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It is a remotely accessible MCP service with a local computer client, not a cloud-hosted virtual desktop or a generic code repository.

Why use it? You can ask an authorized AI assistant to inspect supported files, check a system, follow a terminal job, or handle compatible desktop tasks — while keeping permissions, device pairing, and sensitive-action approvals under your control. Available capabilities depend on your operating system, AI client, and authorized scope.

AI can help. You stay in control.

EXZA Remote connects your computer to ChatGPT, Claude, and other compatible MCP clients through an authenticated remote connection. Instead of manually moving files or copying terminal output into a chat, you can use supported tools to work with your *own* computer — subject to your account permissions, device capabilities, and required approvals.

The system is built around a straightforward principle: AI access should be explicit, visible, and revocable.

What you can do

Tools and permissions: EXZA Remote registers 59 MCP tool interfaces in its current integration. This does not mean every interface works on every OS, or that every action runs without approval. See the 59-tool catalog, Features & tool categories, and Platform compatibility.

How it works

A[Your AI assistant] -->|MCP + OAuth| B[EXZA Remote service] B -->|Paired, authorized session| C[Your connected computer] C --> D{Permission required?} D -->|Yes| E[You review the action] E -->|Approve| F[Action performed] E -->|Reject| G[Action blocked] D -->|No| F

The local computer remains yours. Connections and actions depend on your session status and the permissions you grant. Closing the local client ends its active computer connection.

Getting started

1. Open remote.exza.de and create an EXZA account.
2. Sign in to the customer dashboard and open My Devices.
3. Choose the official installation instructions for macOS, Windows, or Linux.
4. Start the local EXZA Remote client on your computer. Enter the displayed one-time pairing code in the dashboard and confirm the request in the terminal.
5. In a supported AI client, add the remote MCP server using `https://remote.exza.de/mcp`, then complete the EXZA sign-in and permission flow.
6. Begin with a harmless action such as checking device connection status.

Follow the current platform-specific steps in the [official documentation](https://remote.exza.de/help). Never paste passwords, device secrets, or access tokens into an AI conversation.

Install EXZA Remote — terminal commands

You do not need to clone this GitHub repository. It is a public product presentation, not a source-code download. Install the client from the official EXZA Remote website on a computer you own or are authorized to use.

Requirements: Node.js 22+ including npm, internet access, and an EXZA account. macOS/Linux also require curl, unzip and a SHA-256 utility. Administrator/root access is not needed.

If Node.js is missing or outdated

EXZA Remote needs Node.js 22 or newer, including npm. You can install it free of charge from the official Node.js download page. Choose a maintained LTS release compatible with your operating system. You do not need to download Node.js from GitHub or share your EXZA login details.

Check the versions first (macOS/Linux Terminal or Windows PowerShell):

node --version

npm --version

• macOS: Open nodejs.org/en/download, choose the macOS installer for your supported system, download the official .pkg, run the installer and follow its prompts. Close and reopen Terminal afterwards.
• Windows 10/11: On the same official page choose the Windows installer (.msi) for your architecture, run it and keep the default npm installation enabled. Close and reopen PowerShell after installing. Administrator approval might be requested by the Node.js installer, but EXZA Remote itself should run as your normal user.
• Linux: Follow the Linux instructions on the official Node.js download page. If the nvm version manager is already installed, you can run the following to install a maintained LTS release for your user account. If nvm is not installed, follow the official installation instructions for your distribution and a trusted version manager first; do not copy an unknown `curl | bash` command.

nvm install --lts

nvm use --lts

Verify again after reopening your terminal:

node --version

npm --version

If the commands still say command not found, not recognized, or the version begins with v20 or lower, verify that Node.js is installed and on your shell's PATH, then reopen the terminal. If Node.js already reports v22 or newer and npm reports a version, skip this installation step and continue with the EXZA Remote command below.

Do not overwrite or restart a running EXZA Remote connection just to install Node.js. Finish the current session safely before changing runtimes.

macOS — Terminal

Open Terminal and verify that Node.js and npm are installed:

node --version

npm --version

Then run the same official command shown in the EXZA customer portal:

curl -fsSL https://remote.exza.de/install.sh -o exza-install.sh && sh exza-install.sh

Windows 10/11 — PowerShell

Open PowerShell as a normal user, check the prerequisites, download the official script and run it:

node --version

npm --version curl.exe -fsSL https://remote.exza.de/install.ps1 -o exza-install.ps1 powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\exza-install.p
