What is the ThinRemote CLI?

A lightweight command-line tool that provides secure terminal access to all your remote devices

Remote Shell Access

Open Terminal sessions to any device instantly. No exposed ports, no VPN setup, just pure terminal access through secure tunnels.

Cloud Service Exposure

Expose internal services through secure cloud endpoints. Share access with your team without complex VPN setups or firewall configurations.

Built-in MCP Server

Plug Claude, Cursor or any AI agent into the CLI and let it list devices, run commands, tail logs or open tunnels in natural language, with the same access controls as your team.

Device Management

Check device status, execute remote commands, trigger reboots, and manage entire fleets from your terminal.

Scriptable & Automatable

Perfect for CI/CD pipelines, monitoring scripts, and batch operations. Standard input/output for easy integration.

Enterprise Security

End-to-end encryption, token-based authentication, and audit logging. No open ports or attack surface on your devices.

Quick Installation

Common Commands

Get started with these essential ThinRemote CLI commands

Live Dashboard

thinr

Run with no arguments to drop into the interactive fleet TUI

Remote Console

thinr device console <deviceId>

Open an interactive shell session over a secure tunnel

Run a Command

thinr device exec <deviceId> uptime

Execute a shell command and stream stdout/stderr back

TCP Tunnel

thinr device tcp <deviceId> -p 5432

Forward a local port to a TCP service on the device

HTTP Proxy

thinr device http <deviceId> 8080

Proxy an HTTP service running on the device locally

File Transfer

thinr device push <deviceId> ./app.bin /opt/app/

Upload a local file to the device — use pull for downloads

AI Agent Integration

Plug Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP-compatible agent into the CLI. 80+ typed tools cover the entire fleet over stdio MCP — every call uses the same auth, permissions and audit trail as the human team.

Claude Code

claude mcp add thinr -s user -- thinr mcp

A single MCP server entry covers every device of the active profile.

Claude Desktop, Cursor & others

Add the server to your client's MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinr": {
      "command": "thinr",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON shape on every MCP host — only the file path changes (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, etc.).

What agents can do

Tools span every CLI subcommand and a few that only make sense for fleets. Agents pass device, user or profile per call to scope each operation — no restart, no environment juggling.
