parlour service start, stop, restart and logs take one service by name (agent, llm for the local model, or whisper), or all of them without one.

parlour remote manages a server from another machine, or from the same one without editing a file. It uses the same routes as the iPhone app's Server tab (see Managing the server). It talks to --url, or the server this machine pinned as a satellite (satellite.serverUrl), or this Mac. It never picks a server found with Bonjour, because it sends PARLOUR_TOKEN (from this machine's secrets, or --token) with every call, and anything on the network can advertise itself as Parlour.

parlour remote status
parlour remote pipeline set triage=always timeoutMs=30000   # saved, and the agent restarts
parlour remote service llm restart
parlour remote logs llm --lines 100

parlour connectors add signs your household in to a remote MCP server (a calendar, say) and keeps the tokens in your Keychain. The connectors integration that loads them is on by default, and if a hand-written config leaves it out, parlour doctor will let you know.
