SSH MCP: let your AI assistant work on your servers, safely

Welcome to SSH MCP

SSH MCP lets your AI assistant work on your servers for you. Ask in plain words, like "why is my website slow?" or "how much disk space is left?", and your AI signs in to the server, runs the right commands, and explains what it found.

It works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any other app that supports MCP (the standard way AI apps plug into tools).

Why people trust it

  • Your passwords stay on your computer. The AI never sees them, not even once.
  • You decide what the AI may do. Choose full access or look-only for each server.
  • It checks every server's identity so nobody can pretend to be your server.
  • No analytics, no tracking. It never sends anything about you anywhere. See Privacy.
  • Free and open source. Anyone can read every line of code.
