Idea

Discovery

Source: Internal setup documentation — "Remote Claude Workspace Setup" chat Evidence: Complete working solution implemented and tested

The Problem

Claude Desktop with Projects is powerful but tied to one machine. Developers who:

  • Work from multiple devices (laptop, desktop, travel setup)
  • Want to access their Claude Projects remotely
  • Need their MCP tools and project context everywhere

...are stuck. Projects don't sync. MCP servers don't transfer.

The Solution

VPS-based setup with:

  • Cloudflare Tunnel for secure access
  • Browser-based IDE (code-server) for remote work
  • MCP servers running on VPS, accessible via tunnel
  • Claude Desktop connecting to remote MCP endpoints

Why This Matters

  1. Hot topic: Claude, MCP, remote development all trending
  2. Unique angle: Almost nobody writing about this specific setup
  3. Technical depth: Shows real problem-solving, not surface-level tips
  4. Right audience: Developers using AI tools — exactly our ICP
  5. Not Banatie-specific: Good for account warmup, builds authority

Potential Angle

"Your Claude Projects shouldn't be trapped on one machine. Here's how I set up remote access to my entire AI development environment."

Personal story: why I needed this, what I tried, final solution.

Technical Components

  • Contabo VPS (Singapore)
  • Docker containers for isolation
  • Cloudflare Tunnel (free tier works)
  • code-server for browser IDE
  • MCP server configuration for remote access
  • Security considerations
