Documentation Overview

Release Sponsor MCP Toplist agentic_ssh MCP server Crates.io Homebrew

agentic_ssh 🛰️🛡️

Stop your AI agent from nosing around your SSH connections without permission.

A secure-by-default SSH connection pool & MCP server for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Antigravity, Copilot, Cline).

agentic_ssh gives your AI assistant fast, token-efficient, and asynchronous SSH access to your homelab, dev servers, and clusters—with strict zero-trust host guardrails so it can never touch unauthorized infrastructure.

AI Agent Multi-Host Interrogation & Security Guardrail

📊 Token & Quota Impact: Raw SSH vs. agentic_ssh

Security & Blast RadiusFull access to every host in ~/.ssh/configStrict Whitelist Guardrail (allow_hosts)Unauthorized hosts blocked 🛡️

Connection Latency800ms – 1.5s reconnect handshake0ms (pooled Keepalive socket)Instant response ⚡️
Long-Running BuildsBlocks agent reasoning / silent dropoutDetached async (background: true)Parallel workflows 🚀

🛑 Why Giving AI Agents Raw SSH Is a Bad Idea

If you've ever let an autonomous agent run raw terminal ssh, you're exposing your machines to huge risks:

  • 🚨 Unrestricted Fleet Access ("Nosing Around"): Standard agent bash tools have full, unchecked access to your ~/.ssh/config. If you ask an agent to inspect a local dev box, nothing stops it from querying your production database, jumping through client bastions, or running rogue commands where it shouldn't.
  • 💥 The Context Avalanche: The agent runs apt upgrade or cargo build, and 15,000 lines of compiler noise dump straight into your context window—wiping out memory, blowing up rate limits, and wasting money.
  • 👻 Silent Death by Dropout: Cloud NATs and Tailscale love to silently drop idle SSH sockets during a 10-minute compile. The agent hangs forever waiting for output that will never arrive.
  • 😵‍💫 Nested Escaping Hell: Asking an LLM to quote bash inside an SSH string inside an MCP JSON payload (ssh host "bash -c \"echo 'hello'\"") invariably leads to broken quotes and syntax errors.

🪄 How agentic_ssh Fixes This

The Dangeragentic_ssh Zero-Trust Solution
Unchecked Server AccessStrict Host Whitelist (allow_hosts): If allow_hosts is not configured, all hosts are blocked by default. Your agent can only touch machines you have explicitly approved.
Bloated Context WindowsAutomatically summarizes verbose outputs and redirects large streams to isolated local session logs (~/.agentic_ssh/sessions/).
Dropped Sockets & LagRust-native connection pooling (russh) with automatic 30s keepalives and zero-latency session reuse.
Broken QuotingArguments are structured and escaped natively behind the scenes—zero escaping headaches for the model.
Blocking Long TasksSupports background: true—fires long builds or migrations into detached threads so the agent can keep working.

⚡️ Quick Start (30 Seconds)

1. Install

bash
# macOS & Linux (Homebrew)
brew install sandbanks/tap/agentic_ssh

# Or with cargo-binstall (pre-compiled binary)
cargo binstall agentic_ssh

# Or run instantly with Nix (zero compile)
nix run github:sandbanks/agentic_ssh -- doctor

2. Auto-Register with Your AI Agents

One command detects your installed AI tools and registers the MCP server automatically:

bash
agentic_ssh install

(Supports Claude Code / Desktop, Cursor, Gemini, Antigravity, Copilot, Zed, Cline, and Roo-Code).

3. Verify Health

bash
agentic_ssh doctor

🤖 Prompt Recipes: What Your AI Agent Can Do

Once installed, just talk to your agent naturally. Here are real-world prompts you can copy & paste:

🔍 1. Cluster Health & Resource Audit

"Check the CPU load, RAM usage, and available disk space across stan, cartman, and aruba. Report any bottlenecks."

⚡️ Agent calls get_system_stats concurrently across all 3 nodes and gives you a structured comparison table in 2 seconds.

🛡️ 2. Security & Port Exposure Check

"Inspect all active listening TCP and UDP ports on our staging server. Flag anything open on 0.0.0.0 that shouldn't be."

⚡️ Agent calls list_ports with process attribution (PID + binary name) for instant auditing.

🐳 3. Container Status & Error Log Tailing

"Check if any Docker containers crashed on cartman, and tail the last 50 lines of the auth-service logs."

⚡️ Agent calls check_docker_status and tail_container_logs without flooding your context window.

⏳ 4. Detached Background Jobs

"Deploy the latest git commit on stan in the background and notify me when it finishes."

⚡️ Agent runs run_command with background: true, frees up your chat immediately, and tracks the output in a local session log.


🖥️ CLI Superpowers for Humans (Built-in Terminal Tools)

agentic_ssh isn't just an MCP server for AI—it includes powerful CLI tools for human developers too:

💡 Tip: Add alias ash="agentic_ssh" to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to save keystrokes!

agentic_ssh watch: Multi-Host Live Streaming TUI

Watch commands run concurrently across multiple servers with live streaming panes and post-run log inspection:

Multi-Host Command Watcher TUI

bash
# Watch a command on multiple hosts concurrently
agentic_ssh watch stan,cartman,aruba "pnpm --version"

# Watch an entire host group defined in your config
agentic_ssh watch web-fleet "docker compose ps"

agentic_ssh json: Instant Multi-Host Scripting

Call any built-in MCP diagnostic tool directly from your terminal and get clean, parseable JSON:

bash
# Get structured system stats across hosts
agentic_ssh json get_system_stats stan,cartman

# Query listening ports
agentic_ssh json list_ports '{"hosts": ["stan", "aruba"]}'

agentic_ssh tui: Live Connection Pool Dashboard

Inspect active SSH sockets, heartbeat metrics, and connection lifetimes:

bash
agentic_ssh tui

🧰 Built-in Tool Catalog

MCP ToolDescription
list_hostsDiscovers and returns all authorized SSH host aliases from ~/.ssh/config.
list_groupsReturns defined multi-host server groups (e.g., web-fleet, db-cluster).
run_commandExecutes commands concurrently across hosts (supports sync or detached async background mode).
get_system_statsFetches CPU load, RAM utilization, and disk partition stats.
list_portsScans active listening TCP/UDP sockets with process & PID attribution.
search_processesEvaluates and filters running processes with regex matching.
tail_logSafely tails standard system log files without loading multi-gigabyte files.
tail_container_logsFetches real-time log frames from Docker containers.
check_docker_statusReturns Docker daemon health, running containers, and image counts.
check_service_statusQueries systemd / systemctl service states.
list_upgradableLists pending OS package updates across remote machines.
git_pullSafely fetches and updates a remote Git repository.
find_large_filesScans for disk-hogging files exceeding a size threshold.
grep_syslogSearches remote syslog / journalctl streams for specific error patterns.
list_cron_jobsInspects system and user crontabs.
list_network_connectionsLists active network connections and remote endpoints.

⚙️ Configuration (~/.config/agentic_ssh/config.toml)

You can define host groups and security boundaries in an optional configuration file:

toml
# Security boundaries: Only allow safe hosts
allow_hosts = ["stan", "cartman", "kyle", "*.local"]
ignore_hosts = ["prod-db-primary", "secure-vault"]

# Multi-host groups for easy targeting
[groups]
fleet = ["stan", "cartman", "aruba", "kyle"]
pis = ["stan", "cartman", "kyle"]
web = ["aruba", "stan"]

# Custom parameterized agent tools
[tools.deploy_stack]
description = "Pulls latest compose repo and updates stack containers."
command = ["docker", "compose", "-f", "/opt/app/docker-compose.yml", "up", "-d"]
allow_hosts = ["stan", "cartman"]
