Infra MCP Overview

The esp4ce/infra-mcp MCP server provides read-only MCP access to on-prem Linux VMs and PostgreSQL databases over SSH. It exposes tools for service health, bounded journald and file logs, database status, read-only queries, schema inspection, and audit history. Remote operations are restricted by per-VM allowlists, database queries run in read-only transactions, and activity is recorded in a local append-only JSONL log. Use it when an agent needs infrastructure visibility without direct terminal access.
