Documentation Overview

ssh-mcp-pro

npm version npm downloads license CI API Docs

Buy me a coffee

ssh-mcp-pro is a secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SSH automation. It lets MCP-capable clients open SSH sessions, inspect hosts, run guarded commands, manage files, transfer artifacts, create tunnels, and perform idempotent package or service work through policy-controlled tools.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js >=22.22.2 or >=24.15.0 or >=26.3.0
  • pnpm >=11.0.9
  • SSH access to the target hosts
  • Docker, only for local integration tests and container image builds

Installation

Install globally with pnpm:

bash
pnpm add --global ssh-mcp-pro
ssh-mcp-pro --version

Run without a global install:

Terminal
npx ssh-mcp-pro

For pnpm-only environments, use:

bash
pnpm dlx ssh-mcp-pro

Container images are published to GitHub Container Registry for release tags:

Terminal
docker run --rm ghcr.io/oaslananka/ssh-mcp-pro:1.0.0 --version

Images are published for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 with exact semver and Git tag aliases. Production deployments should prefer the digest-pinned reference recorded by the release workflow. See Docker Usage for the tag policy, digest-pinned examples, and registry verification steps.

Quickstart

Generic stdio MCP config:

config.json
{
  "name": "ssh-mcp-pro",
  "command": "ssh-mcp-pro",
  "type": "stdio"
}

VS Code settings style:

config.json
{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "ssh-mcp-pro": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "ssh-mcp-pro",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop style:

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ssh-mcp-pro": {
      "command": "ssh-mcp-pro",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

After registration, start with discovery and a strict host-key policy:

text
List configured SSH hosts, open a session to bastion.example.com as deploy with hostKeyPolicy=strict, then run os_detect.

Usage

Use ssh-mcp-pro from an MCP client over stdio, or run the HTTP transport for remote-safe connector profiles. Start with read-only discovery tools, inspect the active policy, and create explicit sessions before running remote commands:

text
List configured SSH hosts, explain the active SSH policy, connect to the selected host, then report its operating system and disk usage.

See examples/README.md for additional workflows and INSTALL.md for client-specific setup.
