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

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.
