Claude Local Bridge

Secure MCP bridge enabling Claude on your phone to browse and edit local repos with real-time, human-approved file access and audit logging.

• 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
