Install SSH Session MCP in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y ssh-session-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

ssh-session-mcp

中文 | English

Persistent shared-terminal runtime for MCP clients over SSH.

ssh-session-mcp gives the user and the AI the same SSH PTY session, adds a browser viewer, tracks who typed what, and makes long-running remote work manageable instead of stateless.

Install At A Glance

  • Normal users do not need to git clone this repository.
  • Preferred install path for MCP clients: npx -y ssh-session-mcp --viewerPort=auto
  • Preferred install path for human operators who want local binaries: npm install -g ssh-session-mcp
  • Official container distribution can be published to a public registry such as docker.io/zwawa/ssh-session-mcp
  • git clone is only for contributors, source builds, and local development.
  • For the common desktop MCP workflow, npx or a global npm install is still the lowest-friction path. Docker is mainly useful when you want a pinned runtime, container-based deployment, or registry-backed distribution.

Why It Exists

Most SSH-oriented MCP servers can execute commands, but they do not manage terminal state well enough for real collaboration.

ssh-session-mcp focuses on the missing runtime layer:

  • One shared PTY for both the human and the AI
  • Browser terminal for live inspection and manual intervention
  • Input lock so the AI does not type over the user
  • Safe/full execution modes for risky commands
  • Configurable default policy rules plus session-level custom rule overrides
  • Async command tracking for long-running remote work
  • Multi-device and multi-connection profile support
  • Local debug mode for demos, offline testing, and prompt iteration

Best Fit

  • AI-assisted remote development on Linux boards and SSH servers
  • Embedded, ROS, training, and deployment hosts that need a real terminal
  • Users who want the AI to help, but do not want to surrender the terminal
  • MCP Marketplace listings where the install and demo path must be clear
