Cline Desktop adds SSH support: agent runs on remote machines, UI stays local
cpaik · x · 2026-09-26
Cline Desktop now supports remote development over SSH: the app stays on your laptop while the agent, its tools, and your code run on a remote host such as a dev server, Raspberry Pi, Docker container, or cloud VM.
You add an SSH host once and every session runs there — file edits, terminal commands, Git, and MCP servers all execute remotely, while chat, approvals, and live output stay in the local app. Nothing needs to be installed on the remote machine: on first connect, Cline copies a small self-contained helper to /.cline/remote/ and talks to it through an SSH tunnel — no apt, npm, root access, or open ports required. Linux (x64/arm64) and macOS hosts are supported; Windows hosts and 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS are not.
