## Pairing a Device

Devices connecting to Visibox over the network must pair first using a one-time code:

1.  Open the Remote Pairing window (Window > Remote Pairing).
2.  A 6-digit code appears on screen with a countdown timer. The code expires after 5 minutes.
3.  On the remote device, enter the code (or send it via the [API](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/integrations/api/#pairing)).
4.  Visibox returns a token that the device stores for future connections. Tokens are valid for 30 days.

If the code expires, click **Generate New Code** to get a fresh one.

note

Connections from localhost (the same machine) are automatically authenticated — no pairing or token is needed. This is how the Stream Deck plugin and MCP server connect seamlessly.

## Connecting AI Tools

The Remote Pairing window can automatically install the Visibox MCP server configuration into supported AI tools. Click the **Auto-Install** button to detect and configure any of the following:

*   Claude Desktop
*   Claude Code
*   Cursor
*   Windsurf
*   Codex
*   Gemini CLI
*   VS Code
*   Zed
*   Cline

You can also click **Copy MCP URL** to manually add the Visibox MCP server to any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol. See [AI Assistants](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/integrations/ai/) for more about what AI tools can do with Visibox.

## Managing Paired Devices

The bottom of the Remote Pairing window lists all paired devices with their status:

*   **Device name** — Identifies the paired device or tool.
*   **Status** — Shows whether the device is **Active** or **Revoked**.
*   **Paired on** — When the device was first paired.
*   **Last seen** — When the device last connected.

You can **Revoke** access to disconnect a device, or **Remove** it entirely from the list.
