anyremote lets ChatGPT and Claude Code use your local files and terminal via one command

A developer launched anyremote, an MCP-based tool that gives ChatGPT, Claude Code, and Codex access to files and the terminal on your own computers:
- Run one command on a machine you own, approve it in the browser, and the AI can read files, run commands, and see output
- Outbound-only connections: no open ports, tunnels, or router config; scoped tools (list/read/write/search files, start/read/stop processes, screen capture) rather than full desktop control
- New this week: USB-serial support, so a board plugged into one machine shows up as a local port on another for remote boot-log watching
- Caveats: the CLI must stay in the foreground, and tool results pass through the author's relay — payloads aren't logged but it's not end-to-end encrypted
Early preview, daily-used on macOS/Linux; Windows works but less battle-tested. The author is asking what would make people not trust such a tool.
