Install on Windows

Install on Windows

Works on Windows 10 and 11, on regular PCs and ARM devices (like Surface Pro X and Copilot+ PCs).

The easy way

1. Open the Start menu, type PowerShell, and open it.

2. Paste this line and press Enter:

   irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anand34577/ssh-mcp/main/install.ps1 | iex

3. Follow the setup that starts automatically.

What the installer does:

• Picks the right version for your PC.
• Downloads it from this project's GitHub releases and checks its fingerprint (SHA-256), so a damaged or tampered download is refused.
• Installs it to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\ssh-mcp, which is just for your account, so no admin rights are needed.
• Adds that folder to your PATH, so ssh-mcp-server works in new terminals.
• Starts the setup.

Without the terminal

1. Go to the latest release.
2. Download ssh-mcp-server-windows-amd64.exe, or ssh-mcp-server-windows-arm64.exe for ARM devices.
3. Double-click it. The setup opens and offers to install the program properly.

Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC" because the program is new and not signed by a big company. Click More info, then Run anyway. You can always check the file against SHA256SUMS.txt on the release page:

Get-FileHash .\ssh-mcp-server-windows-amd64.exe

Check that it worked

ssh-mcp-server version

If PowerShell says the command isn't found, open a new PowerShell window (the PATH change needs a fresh one).
