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.

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 1mo 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. Language — zh 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

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.
