Ssh Client Mcp Server
Connects to any SSH server and exposes a single exec tool that runs shell commands remotely and returns stdout. Supports four auth modes: password, key file, key from environment variable (for Vault, Doppler, or envpkt workflows), and SSH_AUTH_SOCK for system agents including 1Password, Bitwarden Desktop, and KeePassXC. Built on somamcp so you get soma_health, soma_capabilities, and soma_connections introspection out of the box. Path expansion handles tilde, dollar signs, and relative paths with fail-fast validation at startup. Reach for this when you need an LLM to run commands on remote Linux, macOS, or Windows OpenSSH hosts without building your own SSH wrapper.

SSH Client MCP Server
SSH Client MCP Server is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets LLMs and other MCP clients execute shell commands on remote hosts over SSH. It runs from Linux, macOS, or Windows and targets any reachable SSH server (Linux, macOS, Windows with OpenSSH, etc.).
Built on somamcp — a functional MCP framework on the MCP TypeScript SDK 2.x, with telemetry and introspection.
