scomp-mcp: Letting an AI Agent Use a Terminal on a Host It Cannot Reach

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I have a GPU host in a private network. It has no public IP and no SSH access from my laptop. I also have an AI coding agent on my laptop. The agent is good at builds and benchmarks, but it cannot reach that host.

The scomp agent already connects that host to the scomp relay with an outbound connection. So the missing part was small: a tool that lets a local model use the same terminal sessions, under the same rules. That tool is scomp-mcp.

scomp-agent: My tmux Sessions on the Phone, Without SSH and Without Open Ports

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I start long jobs in tmux. Then I go away from the laptop. Then I want to know if the job is finished. For many years, my procedure was this: find a laptop, connect a VPN, open SSH, attach to tmux, and read one line. That is five steps to read one line.

The phone is always in my pocket. The terminal session is always on a server. I wrote scomp to connect these two things. This post is about scomp-agent, the small Go binary that runs next to your sessions.
