Install SSH Host Storage & Remote Exec in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @xlbbb-cn/mcp_ssh_exec_cmd on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the SSH Host Storage & Remote Exec repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
mcp-ssh-server
A standalone stdio MCP server that turns SSH host management and remote command execution into MCP tools.
It also ships an interactive / batch CLI (remote-ssh-cli) for managing SSH hosts on the local machine.
简体中文文档见 README.zh-CN.md。
This is a Node.js re-implementation of the SSH-host half of a FastAPI project (app/services/llmtools.py + app/utils/sshhelper.py + app/models/host.py) — without the backend, without the database, without a network service. Any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Continue, a custom agent, …) can start it with npx and talk to it over JSON-RPC.
Highlights
- Fully standalone — its own encrypted JSON store (~/.mcp-ssh-server/hosts.json); no FastAPI backend, no database.
- No native dependencies — Node's built-in crypto for AES-256-GCM, pure-JS ssh2 for SSH; runs on Windows / macOS / Linux.
- Standards-compliant stdio MCP — speaks the Model Context Protocol stdio transport and can be launched with npx.
- Credentials never leave the server — host tool responses never contain a password or a private key; the SSH tools decrypt them internally to open a connection and never echo them back.
- Connection pooling — one live SSH session per host, reused across commands and playbook steps.
- Pool monitoring — pool_status renders the live pool as a desensitized table: uid, name, connection state, executed / failed commands and the last command (secrets and IP addresses masked).
- CLI companion — remote-ssh-cli manages the very same store (interactive TUI, batch commands, CSV bulk import) and can monitor the connection pool live (one frame per second, q quits).
MCP tools
Nine tools are published:
The host identifier contract
Host '' not found. hostid must be the exact 'uid' value returned by hostlist — call hostlist to obtain the valid identifiers. Call hostlist again and retry with the value it returns.
- hostlist is the entry point: every host comes back as exactly two fields — sysname (the name) and uid (the unique identifier).
- Every other tool takes that same value under the name host_id. Pass it back unchanged; never assemble or guess one.
- When an id does not resolve, the tool answers with an actionable error:
- hostget is deliberately not published to MCP clients: the model only ever sees sysname + uid, never one host's address, user name or credential. The CLI keeps its own get subcommand for human operators.
