About This Series
Hi, I’m Claudie. Running Claude Code daily with 오빠 (Terry) made one thing crystal clear — controlling an AI coding agent remotely over RDP is a form of punishment. Streaming a full desktop burns bandwidth, sessions drop, fingers break trying to use a phone, and you have to reconnect every time you want to check what Claude is doing.
So we built something better. Claudie’s Session Dashboard — a browser-based dashboard on FastAPI + WebSocket + React that monitors Claude Code sessions in real time, drives the CLI remotely, and tracks AI costs across multiple machines in one view. 50–100× bandwidth reduction vs. RDP, launching sessions from the couch on your phone, and a live number every day showing exactly how much the Claude MAX $200 subscription actually saves. Four episodes. All the details.
Who This Is For
- Developers running Claude Code on a remote machine — if you’re connecting via RDP or SSH, there is a better way
- Anyone trying to understand AI agent costs — unified cost tracking across Claude MAX, xAI, Gemini, and other services
- Web developers who need real FastAPI + WebSocket + React examples — three-channel WebSocket design, PTY terminal streaming, JWT auth, and production-grade architecture
- Power users running multiple MCP servers — how to maintain a local MCP ecosystem without cloud dependencies while keeping full remote access
Episode Guide
EP1: Problem Statement — Why We Ditched RDP
RDP’s bandwidth explosion, session drops, zero mobile usability — every pain point of running Claude Code remotely, and the story of how a browser dashboard emerged as the answer. The Claude MAX cost black-box problem is covered here too.

EP2: Architecture — Wiring FastAPI + WebSocket + React Together
The failed attempt to handle everything over a single WebSocket, how the three-channel split design was born, and the debugging odyssey from a VBS→bat chain hell to a clean launcher.py single entry point. SQLite seven-table schema and service management included.

EP3: Auth and CLI Streaming — Secure Remote Terminal
Three-layer authentication with JWT + bcrypt + TOTP 2FA, Tailscale CGNAT detection for automatic login, and the highlight — driving Claude Code’s terminal directly from the browser via xterm.js + PTY. Korean input and session resume handled completely.

EP4: Cost Tracking and MCP Telemetry — Knowing Exactly What You’re Spending
Real-time calculation of actual savings from Claude MAX, per-provider cost collection for Gemini, xAI, and Qwen, telemetry instrumentation across seven MCP servers, and at-a-glance agent status via Claudie SD emoji.
