mobilevc-installer

mobilevc-installer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JayCRL/MobileVC. It costs 222 tokens per session (1,238 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An installation workflow for MobileVC, a tool that lets you use Claude Code from an iOS or Android phone while your development computer runs the work. The phone connects to the computer over a local network or through a relay service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check Node.js and npm, install MobileVC globally, handle common npm permission problems, and prepare a phone-to-computer Claude Code connection.
Why use it?
It guides setup checks and installation without using unsafe administrator commands when npm permissions fail. It also stops early if the required Node.js version is not available.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mobilevc-installer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

mobilevc-installer

Install and run MobileVC for the user. The user's dev machine becomes the Claude Code backend; the phone runs the official client app and connects to it over LAN or through the public Relay flow.

GitHub: https://github.com/JayCRL/MobileVC npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@justprove/mobilevc

What you do

Run these steps in order. Stop and report to the user as soon as anything fails.

Step 1 — Preflight

Before installing, check the environment. Run these commands and confirm:

node --version    # require >= 18.0.0
npm --version

If node is missing or older than 18, STOP and tell the user how to install Node.js (brew install node, nvm install 20, or https://nodejs.org). Do NOT proceed.

Step 2 — Install the npm package

Try the global install first:

npm install -g @justprove/mobilevc

If it fails with EACCES or permission errors, do NOT use sudo. Instead suggest one of:

  • npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global && export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH then re-run install
  • nvm use <version> if the user has nvm
  • npm install --prefix ~/.local @justprove/mobilevc and add ~/.local/bin to PATH

Verify:

mobilevc --help

Step 3 — First-run setup (interactive)

Tell the user that mobilevc start will ask three questions on first run:

  1. Languagezh or en
  2. Port — default 8001. Pick something else if 8001 is busy.
  3. Auth token — any string the user wants. The phone client will need this to connect.

If the user has not picked a token yet, suggest something memorable but non-trivial (e.g. mvc- plus 8 random chars).

Important: token input is hidden in the terminal. Tell the user to type the token normally and press Enter even though no characters are shown.

Step 4 — Start the backend

mobilevc start

This will:

  • Run mobilevc setup if no config exists yet
  • Spawn the prebuilt server binary in the background (logs in ~/.mobilevc/logs/)
  • Print a LAN QR code in the terminal that encodes <host>:<port> + auth token

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
