ssh-mcp-server is a bridging tool that enables AI assistants and other applications supporting the MCP protocol to execute remote SSH commands through a standardized interface. This allows AI assistants to safely operate remote servers, execute commands, and retrieve results without directly exposing SSH credentials to AI models. The server exposes MCP-compatible commands and tools for executing remote commands (execute-command), uploading and downloading files (upload, download), and listing configured SSH servers (list-servers). It supports secure SSH connections via password authentication or private key authentication (with optional passphrase) and offers command-security controls through whitelist and blacklist patterns to constrain operations. Commands can be routed to named SSH connections in multi-SSH setups, and the MCP configuration emphasizes explicit argument separation to avoid misconfigurations. The server is designed to be drop-in runnable with NPX, so no global installation is necessary. Security considerations highlight local credential isolation, the absence of built-in DoS protection, and safeguards against path traversal in file operations. The project also demonstrates how to specify hosts, ports, credentials, and proxy settings to fit various deployment needs.
