Exposed tools (35)
20 read · 11 write · 4 destructive. Blast radius: 4 tools can delete or overwrite — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling this one.
| Tool | Risk | Description |
|---|---|---|
copy_file | read | Copy exactly one regular file to a new path. Directories are not copied recursively. Use copy_paths for directories or two or more copy operations; pass overwrite false to refuse an existing destination. |
copy_paths | read | Copy two or more paths, or copy a directory recursively, in one call. Each item has its own source and destination. For exactly one regular file use copy_file. |
create_archive | write | Pack files and directories into a tar, tar.gz, or zip archive on the device, so a whole tree can be transferred or backed up in one call. |
create_directory | write | Create one directory or many in a single call, including any missing parent directories. Succeeds when a directory already exists. |
delete_path | destructive | Delete exactly one file or directory. Directories are removed with their contents unless recursive is false; the filesystem root is refused. Use delete_paths for two or more targets, or move_to_trash when deletion should be reversible. |
delete_paths | destructive | Delete two or more files/directories in one batch and report each result. For one target use delete_path. Use move_to_trash instead when deletion should be reversible. |
diff_files | read | Show a unified diff between two local text files, with line counts. Useful to check what changed before reporting or reverting it. |
extract_archive | read | Extract a tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, or zip archive on the device into a directory, creating it when needed. |
force_terminate | destructive | Stop a ReMCP terminal session started with start_process, escalating from SIGTERM to SIGKILL when it does not exit. Use kill_process for an arbitrary operating-system PID that is not a ReMCP terminal session. |
get_file_info | read | Return metadata for a file or directory: type, size, timestamps, permissions, and for small text files the line count. |
get_more_search_results | read | Read more results from a search started with start_search. Offset is zero-based; a negative offset returns the last N results. |
get_runtime_info | read | Report this computer\ |
get_runtime_stats | read | Report counters from the current local runtime session on this machine: tool calls/failures, blocked commands, active terminal/search sessions, and usage-metric queue state. Use hosted get_usage_statistics for account-level historical usage aggregated across devices and days. |
hash_file | read | Compute a checksum of a file without reading it into memory. Useful to verify a copy, compare two files, or confirm a download. |
interact_with_process | write | Send one line of input to a running session and return the output it produces. Use this for REPLs and other interactive commands. |
kill_process | destructive | Terminate an arbitrary operating-system process by pid. If the pid belongs to a ReMCP terminal session created by start_process, prefer force_terminate so ReMCP updates the session consistently and handles its process tree. Terminates the process and its children on Windows. |
list_directory | read | List the files and directories at a path. Entries are prefixed with [DIR], [FILE], [LINK], or [DENIED] when a subdirectory cannot be read. depth controls how many directory levels are included and pattern filters file names by glob. |
list_processes | read | List the computer-wide operating-system processes, highest CPU first, with pid, parent pid, CPU/memory usage, and command. Use list_sessions when the question is only about commands started through ReMCP start_process. Values that look like secrets are masked. |
list_searches | read | List active and recent searches on this computer with their status and result counts. |
list_sessions | read | List only terminal sessions started through ReMCP start_process, with status and runtime. Use list_processes for the computer-wide operating-system process list. |
move_file | write | Move or rename exactly one file or directory from one source to one destination. Replaces an existing destination file by default; pass overwrite false to refuse instead. Use move_paths for two or more moves. |
move_paths | write | Move or rename two or more files/directories in one batch, each with its own source and destination. Falls back to copy-and-delete across filesystems. For one source/destination pair use move_file. |
move_to_trash | write | Move a file or directory to the system trash instead of deleting it, so the change can be undone. When the trash is outside the device allowed roots, a .remcp-trash folder beside the file is used instead. |
read_image | read | Return an image file (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, AVIF, or SVG) as native MCP image content so screenshots, photos, and diagrams can be inspected or shown. Use read_binary only for byte-for-byte transfer, not merely to display an image. Fails above the inline size limit. |
read_multiple_files | read | Read several explicitly named text files in one call. Use this when the exact paths are already known; each file is returned separately and one failure does not stop the others. Do not use this for glob discovery: use read_files instead. For one path use read_file. |
read_process_output | read | Read buffered output from a session started with start_process. Without an offset it returns output produced since the previous read. |
replace_in_files | read | Search and replace the same text or regular expression across multiple text files under a path and report what changed. Use edit_block for one known block in one file and write_file for one complete known file. Applies immediately; pass dry_run true to preview the affected files first. |
replace_lines | read | Replace an inclusive 1-based line range with new text. Use this when line numbers define the target; use edit_block when matching existing text and write_file for a complete rewrite. The rest of the file, including its line endings, is preserved. Pass dry_run to preview without writing. |
set_permissions | write | Change the permission mode of a file or directory, optionally recursively and optionally with a numeric owner. Use this to make a script executable after writing it. |
start_search | write | Start a filename or content search on this computer and return the first matches without reading every matched file in full. Use read_files instead when a glob is already known and the contents of all matching files are the desired result. Content searches return |
stop_search | write | Stop a running search. Results collected so far stay readable until the search is cleaned up. |
take_screenshot | read | Capture the entire desktop only when full-screen pixels are actually needed. Prefer ui_snapshot or browser_snapshot for semantic inspection, and screenshot_region for one window, monitor, or rectangle. This tool uses the platform screenshot portal/utility and returns an image. |
wait_for_process_output | read | Wait until output from a running session matches a regular expression or literal string, then return the output collected since the previous read. Use this instead of polling read_process_output in a loop. |
write_binary | write | Write base64 data to a file byte for byte, creating parent directories. Use mode |
write_file | write | Create or replace the complete contents of exactly one text file. Parent directories are created automatically; mode |

Questions
What is the @remcp/remcp MCP server?
Remote MCP access to computers you explicitly pair — files, terminal, desktop UI, browser automation, diagnostics, and documents.
What tools does @remcp/remcp expose?
35 in total: 20 read-only, 11 that write, and 4 that can delete or overwrite (delete_path, delete_paths, force_terminate, kill_process). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is @remcp/remcp safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 4 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.
What credentials does @remcp/remcp need?
It reads REMCP_EIS_RESTORE_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does @remcp/remcp run?
It speaks streamable-http, so it runs as a service you connect to over the network. It is published on npm as @remcp/runtime at 0.2.146.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (5bca2cd96ae3), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
