ssh-mcp-server

npm License: AGPL-3.0

MCP server for executing commands, uploading and downloading files on remote servers via SSH. Zero-config for single servers — just pass credentials inline.

English

ssh-mcp-server is an MCP server for controlled SSH automation from AI tools. It supports command execution, file uploads/downloads, multi-server configs, async jobs, and clean AI-readable output.

Русский

ssh-mcp-server — MCP-сервер для контролируемой SSH-автоматизации из AI-инструментов. Он поддерживает выполнение команд, загрузку/скачивание файлов, конфигурации нескольких серверов, фоновые задачи и чистый вывод, удобный для AI.

Українська

ssh-mcp-server — MCP-сервер для контрольованої SSH-автоматизації з AI-інструментів. Він підтримує виконання команд, завантаження/скачування файлів, конфігурації кількох серверів, фонові задачі та чистий вивід, зручний для AI.

Features

  • Command execution — sync/async modes, timeout, background polling
  • Reliable file transfers — 5 automatic fallback strategies
  • Multi-server — easy switching with workspace-based auto-selection
  • AI-Native output — ANSI stripped, binary detected, control chars removed
  • Zero-config mode — pass server credentials directly in MCP config, no extra files needed
  • Fast — SFTP session caching, connection pooling, 64-stream parallel transfers

Tools

Tool Description
ssh_servers List configured servers and their workspace bindings
ssh_execute Run a shell command (sync or async with polling)
ssh_upload Upload a local file to remote server
ssh_download Download a remote file to local machine

Quick Start

Zero-Config (Inline)

No files needed — pass server credentials directly in your AI tool's MCP config:

{
  "ssh": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
      "-y", "@thesashadev/ssh-mcp-server",
      "--host", "1.2.3.4",
      "--username", "ubuntu",
      "--password", "your-password"
    ]
  }
}

With Config File

For multi-server setups, create ssh-servers.json in your working directory:

{
  "servers": [
    {
      "id": "dev",
      "name": "Dev Server",
      "host": "1.2.3.4",
      "username": "ubuntu",
      "password": "your-password",
      "workspaces": ["D:\\projects\\my-app"]
    }
  ]
}

Then run:

npx -y @thesashadev/ssh-mcp-server

Configuration

Three ways to configure servers (in priority order):

1. CLI Arguments (Zero-Config)

Pass directly in your MCP config args:

--host 1.2.3.4 --username ubuntu --password secret
--host 1.2.3.4 --username deploy --key ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Arg Description
--host SSH host (starts a new server block)
--port SSH port (default: 22)
--username SSH user
--password Password auth
--key Path to private key
--passphrase Key passphrase
--id Server ID (default: "default")
--name Display name
--remote-dir Default remote directory
--workspace Local directory binding

Multiple servers: repeat --host blocks:

--host 1.2.3.4 --username dev --password pass1 --id dev
--host 5.6.7.8 --username prod --key ~/.ssh/id_rsa --id prod

2. Environment Variables

For single-server setups via env:

SSH_HOST=1.2.3.4 SSH_USER=ubuntu SSH_PASSWORD=secret
Env Var Description
SSH_HOST SSH host
SSH_PORT SSH port
SSH_USER Username
SSH_PASSWORD Password
SSH_KEY Private key path
SSH_PASSPHRASE Key passphrase
SSH_REMOTE_DIR Default remote dir
SSH_WORKSPACE Local workspace

3. Config File (ssh-servers.json)

For complex multi-server setups. Looked up in: current directory → package directory.

{
  "servers": [
    {
      "id": "dev",
      "host": "1.2.3.4",
      "username": "ubuntu",
      "password": "secret",
      "workspaces": ["D:\\projects\\my-app"]
    },
    {
      "id": "prod",
      "host": "5.6.7.8",
      "username": "deploy",
      "privateKeyPath": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
      "workspaces": ["D:\\projects\\production"]
    }
  ]
}
