A mode-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, …) actually operate Linux servers without handing them the keys to the kingdom.
devops-mcp is an MCP project maintained in the mhasnainjafri/devops-mcp repository. The maintainer describes its purpose as “A mode-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, …) actually operate Linux servers without handing them the keys…”. Read the project documentation for the complete scope.
The project provides a local client configuration using node. Follow the repository’s build and installation steps before copying it, and replace example paths with the paths on your own computer.
The example declares DEVOPS_MCP_ELEVATION_TOKEN, LOG_LEVEL. Secret-looking values have been replaced with placeholders. Required and optional labels are shown only when the documentation states them.
