5656 | `--remote-control-session-name-prefix <prefix>` | Prefix for auto-generated session names when no explicit name is set. Defaults to your machine's hostname, producing names like `myhost-graceful-unicorn`. Set `CLAUDE_REMOTE_CONTROL_SESSION_NAME_PREFIX` for the same effect. |
5757 | `-c`, `--continue` | Bring back the session that the last server in this directory started with, instead of creating a new one. See [Resume sessions after stopping the server](#resume-sessions-after-stopping-the-server). Can't be combined with `--session-id`, `--spawn`, `--capacity`, or `--create-session-in-dir`. Requires Claude Code v2.1.200 or later. |
5858 | `--session-id <id>` | Bring back one session by its ID. See [Resume sessions after stopping the server](#resume-sessions-after-stopping-the-server). Can't be combined with `--continue`, `--spawn`, `--capacity`, or `--create-session-in-dir`. Requires Claude Code v2.1.200 or later. |
59 | `--spawn <mode>` | How the server creates sessions.<br />• `same-dir` (default): all sessions share the current working directory, so they can conflict if editing the same files.<br />• `worktree`: each on-demand session gets its own [git worktree](/docs/en/worktrees). Requires a git repository.<br />• `session`: single-session mode. Serves exactly one session and rejects additional connections. Set at startup only.<br />Press `w` at runtime to toggle between `same-dir` and `worktree`. |
59 | `--spawn <mode>` | How the server creates sessions.<br />• `same-dir` (default): all sessions share the current working directory, so they can conflict if editing the same files.<br />• `worktree`: each on-demand session gets its own [git worktree](/docs/en/worktrees). Requires a git repository or a [`WorktreeCreate` hook](/docs/en/hooks#worktreecreate).<br />• `session`: single-session mode. Serves exactly one session and rejects additional connections. Set at startup only.<br />Press `w` at runtime to toggle between `same-dir` and `worktree`. |
6060 | `--capacity <N>` | Maximum number of concurrent sessions. Default is 32. Cannot be used with `--spawn=session`. |
6161 | `--[no-]create-session-in-dir` | Pre-create one session in the current directory when the server starts, so you have somewhere to type immediately. In `worktree` mode this session stays in the current directory while on-demand sessions get isolated worktrees. On by default. If you pass `--no-create-session-in-dir` to start with none, Claude Code archives the server's sessions when you stop it, so there's nothing to [resume](#resume-sessions-after-stopping-the-server). |
6262 | `--permission-mode <mode>` | Set the starting [permission mode](/docs/en/permission-modes) for the server's sessions, such as `acceptEdits`. Accepts `manual` as an alias for `default`; an unrecognized mode stops the server at startup and lists the valid modes. |
