# 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
