About This Skill

# Claude Local Bridge

Access your local repos from Claude on your phone. Secure MCP bridge server with approval gating.

What it does

Runs a local MCP server (over SSE) that gives Claude access to your files — but only after you explicitly approve each request from a real-time dashboard.

Tools

  • browse_files — List workspace file tree (no approval needed)
  • request_file_access — Request approval to read/write files (blocks until you decide)
  • read_file — Read an approved file's contents
  • write_file — Write to an approved file
  • list_approvals — See all current approvals
  • revoke_approval — Revoke access
  • view_audit_log — View access history

Quick Start

```bash git clone https://github.com/suhteevah/claude-local-bridge.git cd claude-local-bridge pip install -r requirements.txt python -m app.main --roots ~/projects ```

Then connect Claude to `http://localhost:9120/mcp/sse`

Security

  • Sandboxed to whitelisted directories only
  • Extension blocklist (.env, .pem, .key, etc.)
  • Path traversal prevention
  • Bearer token auth
  • Every file access requires human approval
  • Full audit trail

Remote Access

Use Tailscale (free), Cloudflare Tunnel (free), or NetBird (FOSS) to access from your phone. See tunnel.md.

Use Cases

  • Access and edit local code repositories from Claude on your phone via secure MCP bridge
  • Review file trees and request per-file read/write approval through a real-time dashboard
  • Audit all file access history with timestamped logs for security compliance
  • Browse project structures remotely without granting blanket filesystem access
  • Share local development environments with Claude across devices via Tailscale or Cloudflare Tunnel

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • +Every file access requires explicit human approval — no automatic read/write without consent
  • +Extension blocklist (.env, .pem, .key) prevents accidental exposure of sensitive files
  • +Full audit trail with revocation support provides enterprise-grade access control
  • +Works over SSE with bearer token auth — compatible with standard tunneling solutions

Cons

  • -Approval gating adds friction — every file read/write blocks until human approves
  • -Requires running a local Python server that must stay alive for remote access
  • -Remote access requires setting up Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel, or similar — extra infrastructure
