Setup snapshot
git clone https://github.com/idletoaster/ssh-mcp-server.gitSetup complexity is MEDIUM. Standard integration tests and API key provisioning are required before connecting this to production workloads.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

A secure, high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude Desktop to execute SSH commands on remote servers. Built with Node.js and the official MCP SDK for maximum compatibility and reliability.
๐ Version 2.1.0 - Token-Efficient File Operations: Complete rewrite in Node.js with official MCP SDK - eliminates all previous Go compatibility issues!
# Use directly with NPX (recommended)
npx @idletoaster/ssh-mcp-server@latest
# Or install globally
npm install -g @idletoaster/ssh-mcp-server
Add to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ssh": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@idletoaster/ssh-mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
That's it! Claude can now execute SSH commands on your remote servers.
Once configured, Claude can help you with commands like:
"Check disk usage on my production server at 192.168.1.100"
"Restart the nginx service on server.example.com as user admin"
"Show running processes on my Ubuntu server using my SSH key"
{
"tool": "remote-ssh",
"arguments": {
"host": "192.168.1.100",
"user": "ubuntu",
"command": "df -h",
"privateKeyPath": "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"
}
}
The server supports multiple authentication methods:
{
"privateKeyPath": "/path/to/your/private/key"
}
export SSH_PRIVATE_KEY="/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"
Automatically searches for keys in:
