SSH Model Context Protocol Server - Connect to SSH servers and execute commands via AI assistants.
SSH Model Context Protocol Server - Connect to SSH servers and execute commands via AI assistants. The ssh mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it rather than through you.

You will need 8 environment variables: SSH_HOST, SSH_USER, SSH_PASSWORD, SSH_PORT, SSH_TIMEOUT, SSH_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL, SSH_SESSION_TIMEOUT, SSH_CLIENT_TYPE. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
The server ships on PyPI as ssh-licco, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by Echoqili; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Ssh's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
