Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher
• pip and pipenv
• Linux servers with SSH access

Setup from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/atoncooper/auto-om.git
cd auto-om

# Install dependencies with pipenv
pipenv install

# Activate virtual environment
pipenv shell

# Or install with pip directly
pip install -r requirements.txt

Using Docker

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t auto-om:latest .

# Or use docker-compose
docker-compose up -d

Configuration

Create an application.yaml file:

# Transport mode: "stdio" or "http"
transport:
  mode: http

# HTTP settings (for http mode)
http:
  host: 0.0.0.0
  port: 8000

# SSH connection pool
ssh_pool:
  default_timeout: 30
  max_retries: 3
  connection_timeout: 10
  retry_delay: 5
  max_connections: 10

  # Add your Linux servers
  servers:
    - host: "192.168.1.100"
      port: 22
      username: "your_username"
      password: "your_password"
      alias: "server1"

⚠️ Security Warning: Use environment variables for sensitive data in production:

export SSH_PASSWORD="your_password"

Then reference it in YAML:

servers:
  - host: "192.168.1.100"
    username: "your_username"
    password: "${SSH_PASSWORD}"

Usage

Start the Server

# Run in stdio mode (default, for MCP clients)
python main.py

# Run in HTTP mode
python main.py --mode http

# Run with custom host/port
python main.py --mode http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9000

# Using custom config
python main.py --config /path/to/config.yaml

Docker Usage

# Run with docker-compose
docker-compose up

# Run with docker
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
  -v $(pwd)/application.yaml:/app/application.yaml \
  auto-om:latest

3. Add server: http://localhost:8000/sse
4. Start using tools in Cursor's AI chat

Trae (Mobile)

1. Install Trae app (iOS/Android)
2. Add MCP server: http://your-server-ip:8000/sse
3. Use voice or text commands for server management

Quick Start

Use the provided scripts:

# Linux/macOS
./scripts/start.sh

# Windows
scripts\start.bat

MCP Client Integration

Using Postman MCP

1. Install Postman MCP Client
2. Add MCP Server: http://your-server:8000/sse
