STCMastery Corrected: Your Actual Infrastructure Stack Executive Summary STCMastery is the integration of Claude Code's /remote-env slash command with Teleport's tsh CLI client. This enables authenticated, auditable access from your local Claude Code terminal to remote narrative computation kernels (NCP validators, CoAiA sequential thinking servers, audio generation engines) deployed across edge infrastructure.

Configure OIDC/SSO (GitHub, your org provider)

Register resources:

NCP validator service (HTTP endpoint)

CoAiA sequential thinking server (HTTP/stdio MCP)

Narrative audio generation (HTTP)

Upstash Redis (database proxy)

Edge devices (SSH entries)

Issue Teleport credentials for dev@miadisabelle user

Create RBAC policies:

dev role: can access narrative-prod cluster, narrative-staging (read-only)

admin role: can access all clusters, manage access

Phase 2: Local Claude Code Configuration Create ~/.teleport/config (Teleport client config):

text proxy: teleport.edgehub.com:3080 user: dev@miadisabelle cluster: narrative-prod Install tsh client (if not already):

bash

macOS

brew install gravitational/teleport/teleport

Ubuntu/Debian

curl https://apt.releases.teleport.dev/install.sh | bash Authenticate:

bash tsh login --proxy teleport.edgehub.com --user dev@miadisabelle

Opens browser for SSO

Certs written to ~/.tsh/

Verify:

bash tsh env

Output includes:

export TELEPORT_PROXY=teleport.edgehub.com:3080

export TELEPORT_CLUSTER=narrative-prod

export TELEPORT_USER=dev@miadisabelle

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/var/folders/.../ssh-agent.sock

Phase 3: Claude Code Integration Start Claude Code with MCP config pointing to Teleport resources:

bash claude Set remote environment:

text claude> /remote-env

Dialog: Select cluster from ~/.tsh/

Option 1: narrative-prod

Option 2: narrative-staging

User selects: narrative-prod

Claude Code reads Teleport certs from ~/.tsh/

Add MCP servers (now Teleport-authenticated):

text claude> /mcp add ncp-validator --transport http https://ncp-validator.narrative-prod claude> /mcp add coaia-sequential --transport http https://coaia-sequential.narrative-prod claude> /mcp add narrative-audio --transport http https://narrative-audio.narrative-prod Verify MCP connections:

text claude> /mcp list

Output:

ncp-validator ........... https://ncp-validator.narrative-prod (authenticated)

coaia-sequential ........ https://coaia-sequential.narrative-prod (authenticated)

narrative-audio ......... https://narrative-audio.narrative-prod (authenticated)

Phase 4: Testing Integration bash

Inside Claude Code REPL:

Test 1: MCP tool invocation (validated by NCP kernel)

claude> & /mcp ncp-validator validate --schema ncp-9.1 --storyform ref:test.json

βœ… Request succeeds through Teleport proxy

βœ… Teleport audit log records: dev@miadisabelle called ncp-validator/validate

Test 2: SSH access to edge device (Teleport-proxied)

claude> & bash: tsh ssh walker@edge-device-01.shawinigan.local

βœ… SSH connection established through Teleport proxy

βœ… Teleport validates certificate, allows access for 12 hours

Test 3: Sequential thinking with observable consensus

claude> & /mcp coaia-sequential initiate_sequential_thinking
--request "Should we add session persistence?"
--personas rational,emotional,wisdom
--memory-context project:SymphonyofMinds

βœ… Thinking stored in Upstash Redis (via Teleport proxy)

βœ… Mia/Miette/Haiku consensus decision logged

Real-World Usage: Day-to-Day as Software Architect Morning: Start Development Session bash

1. SSH session already has Teleport certs (from yesterday's login)

$ tsh env

Output confirms valid session (expires in 11h 45m)

2. Start Claude Code

$ claude

3. Set remote environment (no prompt needed if already set)

claude> /remote-env

Reuses narrative-prod cluster from yesterday

4. Resume session if continuing work

claude> /resume SymphonyofMinds-consensus-002

Loads previous MCP connections + context

5. Work: Create structural tension chart, advance thinking

claude> & /mcp coaia-sequential advance_thinking_chain
--persona rational_architect
--observation "Session persistence via Redux store sync"

claude> & /mcp coaia-charts update_action_progress
--action "Architecture decision: Use Zustand for client state"
--status in_progress Midday: Review Consensus Decision bash

Still in same Claude Code session

claude> & /mcp coaia-sequential get_consensus_formation
--decision-id consensus-001

Returns: Decision latency, persona agreement scores, reasoning

Decision accepted (90% confidence)

Teleport audit log shows: dev@miadisabelle reviewed consensus at 12:34 UTC

Late Day: Patent Claim Validation bash

New task: validate patent claim for glyph-based memory system

claude> & /mcp patent-engine draft_claims
--invention "Glyph-Based Memory System"
--description "..."
--validate-against NCP-9.1-schema

NCP kernel validates claim doesn't violate Indigenous knowledge constraints

βœ… APPROVED with coherence score 0.94

Teleport logs show: 2 failed attempts (violated consent constraints), 1 success

All authenticated as dev@miadisabelle, all timestamped

Limitations to Understand tsh Login Expiration: Certificates expire after 12 hours. Developer must re-run tsh login before expiration.

Mitigation: /remote-env dialog will warn if certs are stale

Future: Implement auto-renewal logic

MCP Server Availability: If remote MCP server goes down, /mcp commands fail gracefully.

Mitigation: Teleport supports multiple backends; proxy can failover to secondary

Network Dependency: All Claude Code work depends on internet connectivity to Teleport proxy.

Mitigation: Use tsh proxy ssh to create local tunnel; work becomes network-isolated after tunnel setup

Audit Trail Complexity: Teleport logs everything, but querying audit history requires Teleport API knowledge.

Mitigation: Build custom dashboard to surface "who accessed what narrative data, when"

Security Properties Enforced Property Mechanism Benefit Credential Rotation tsh auto-renews certs every 12h No static API keys; reduces theft surface Access Audit Teleport logs all MCP/SSH calls Know who accessed which narrative, when mTLS Encryption Teleport proxy validates certificates Cannot eavesdrop on SSH/MCP traffic Identity Binding Requests logged with authenticated user Accountability: dev@miadisabelle = specific person Constraint Enforcement NCP kernel validates all claims before processing Prevents LLM from bypassing narrative coherence rules Regional Isolation Teleport proxy mediates all connections Edge infrastructure never directly reachable from Claude Code Roadmap: Realizing STCMastery Q1 2026 Deploy Teleport proxy + configure RBAC

Register NCP validator as Teleport-protected resource

Integrate tsh authentication into Claude Code environment setup docs

Test /remote-env dialog with actual Teleport cluster

Q2 2026 Build Teleport audit dashboard (surface "who accessed what narrative")

Implement tsh auto-renewal (prevent cert expiration mid-session)

Add multi-region failover (east coast β†’ west coast kernel)

Create on-call runbooks (what to do if Teleport proxy is down)

Q3 2026 Extend to place-based storytelling with edge GPS devices

Build patent claim dashboard (show NCP validation score per claim)

Document compliance story: "How STCMastery ensures Indigenous knowledge sovereignty"

Summary STCMastery transforms Claude Code from a local-only tool into an authenticated, auditable, remotely-managed narrative computation client. By integrating /remote-env (Claude's remote context bridge) with tsh (Teleport's authentication client), you gain:

Secure access to narrative kernels without static credentials

Observable AI workflows where every decision is logged with identity + timestamp

Decoupled compute where narrative coherence validation lives remotely (kernel cannot be hallucinated)

Compliance-ready architecture suitable for Indigenous knowledge governance

The key insight: Narrative systems require trusted external validation. By moving constraint enforcement to remote, Teleport-protected kernels, you prevent Claude from hallucinating its way around coherence rules.
