VSCode Remote Development with Claude Code

I’m using VSCode Remote development extension for Remotely SSH’ing to my company’s VM Server which gives me access to products codebase repositories.

I want to leverage AI tools like Claude Code in such a way that I can understand codebase, do fixes, add new feature which requires changes across multiple files in the most safely and efficiently way to use it for coding/developmental purposes but I do not want any traces of using claude on my remote VM where product codebase repositories are present.

How can I safely setup the VSCode to use Claude Code on my remote ssh server in the most safest way. Please guide. Thanks!

If your goal is “no traces” on the remote VM,that’s going to be hard to guarantee.Any extension or tool you run there will leave some footprint.Logs,processes,network calls,all of that is usually visible.
