Connect your first machine in four steps.
No public inbound port or exposed SSH service is required. Start with read-only access and enable additional permissions only when the workflow requires them.
1. Sign in with PENROUZ ID
Your account owns devices and AI connections. Use the same identity on every machine.
2. Run the connector
npx --yes https://mcp.penrouz.com/downloads/mcpenrouz-latest.tgz remote
The command starts the MCPENROUZ Node connector and immediately displays a one-time device authorization link and code. Python is not required.
3. Approve the code in your browser
Open the displayed URL, verify the machine name and requested local policy, then approve it. Codes expire and can be used only once.
4. Add MCPENROUZ to your AI client
https://mcp.penrouz.com/mcp
Complete OAuth in the browser. The AI client receives an OAuth authorization to MCPENROUZ; the device token remains with the local agent.
Recommended: keep the first connection read-only. Add write access to a specific project before enabling broader write or shell permissions.
