Agent-feels-local SSH orchestration MCP server — persistent bash, hash-protected editing, SFTP, tunnels, multi-host orchestration over AsyncSSH
If you already use Portal, the portal mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Agent-feels-local SSH orchestration MCP server — persistent bash, hash-protected editing, SFTP, tunnels, multi-host orchestration over AsyncSSH.
MCP client 经 stdio（或可选 HTTP）连到 server；14 个工具先过安全 gate + 审计，SSH 工具再走进程内 asyncssh 连接池（跨工具复用同一条 TCP，每 host 可开多条），local_exec / 控制面工具不走 SSH。
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Configuration is passed through the environment: GITHUB_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Portal's toolset — agent, remote_transfer, remote_job and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by TMYTiMidlY; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
