Description

This MCP server provides programmatic SSH access over the Model Context Protocol, allowing agents to connect/disconnect, run commands, and transfer or list files on a remote host. Connection parameters can be provided via environment variables or overridden per-call, and the package includes example scripts and test helpers for Cline and Claude Desktop integration. It is useful for automating remote administration and file workflows from agent-based systems without embedding SSH logic into the agent itself.
