by tufantunc • Identity & Access

A local MCP server that exposes SSH control so LLMs and MCP clients can execute shell commands on Linux and Windows systems securely.

Example Use Cases

1
Execute shell commands on remote Linux or Windows servers over SSH using natural language instructions.
2
Perform remote diagnostics and troubleshooting (collect logs, check services, run updates) by running commands securely and with timeout protection.
3
Integrate SSH-based command execution into MCP-enabled clients (e.g., Claude Desktop) with configurable timeouts and command-length limits.

Description

SSH MCP Server is an MCP-compliant, TypeScript-based server that lets MCP clients (like Claude Desktop) run shell commands over SSH on Linux and Windows hosts. It supports password and key-based authentication, configurable command timeouts with graceful abortion of hanging processes, and a configurable maximum command length. The project is open-source (MIT) and intended for secure, automated remote command execution and debugging via natural language or agents.
