Remote Control for existing Cursor CLI sessions from mobile cursor apps

Feature request for product/service

Cursor CLI

Describe the request

I use Cursor CLI on a remote development server, accessed over SSH from my laptop. I’d like to leave my laptop and continue controlling the same running session from the Cursor iPhone app.

Desired workflow

Start working in Cursor CLI on my remote server.
Enable remote control within that existing session, using a command such as /remote-control.
Open the session in the Cursor iOS app.
Continue prompting, review progress and diffs, and approve or reject tool actions.
Return to the terminal and continue the same session.
Key requirements

Preserve conversation context and in-progress work.
Keep execution on the original dev server, with its working directory, uncommitted changes, dependencies, and environment.
Don’t require the desktop Agents Window to be open.
Don’t require SSH or tmux interaction on the phone.
Don’t require starting a separate agent or migrating work to a managed cloud environment.
Allow secure, revocable mobile access and handle connection interruptions without duplicating actions.
The important distinction is remote control of an existing CLI session, not simply starting a new agent accessible from mobile.

My goal is to start work at my laptop, check progress and give instructions from my phone, and return without restarting or reconstructing context.

Is this workflow planned? If there’s an existing tracking issue, please link or merge this request into it.

Operating System (if it applies)
