Documentation

Set up Captain Relay, enrol a computer, and connect an AI assistant through the secure MCP endpoint.

Production MCP endpoint

https://mcp.captainrelay.com/mcp

Authentication uses the Captain Relay sign-in flow. Do not share access tokens, device credentials or enrolment links.

Quick start

Create or sign in to Captain Relay

Open the Captain Relay app and complete authentication.

Enrol a computer

Open Devices, choose the operating system and generate the short-lived setup command. Run it only on a computer you own or are authorised to administer.

Confirm the device is online

Captain Relay Agent connects outbound to the service. No public inbound control port is required on the computer.

Configure Remote policies

For each capability, choose whether Captain Relay should allow it, deny it or require human approval.

Connect your AI client

Add Captain Relay as a remote MCP connection using the production endpoint above, then sign in when prompted.

Safety model

The assistant does not receive unrestricted machine access. It sees the capabilities reported by the enrolled Captain Relay Agent and every requested action is checked against server-side ownership and policy controls.

Human approvals

If a policy requires approval, the action is queued but does not execute. After the decision, the client can retrieve the approval result without resubmitting the original action.

Persistent jobs

Builds, tests, installs and other long-running work should use persistent execution jobs. Jobs retain lifecycle state so the client can poll progress, cancel work or retrieve results after reconnecting.

Computer use

On supported computers, screen capture, window discovery and pointer/keyboard input are separate explicit capabilities and can be independently controlled by policy.

AI clients

Captain Relay is designed around the open Model Context Protocol. Directory listings for supported AI clients are part of the public launch process; until a directory listing is published, use the production MCP endpoint only in clients that support custom remote MCP connections.
