What it does

Rootpilot-MCP is an MCP server that provides secure SSH diagnostics for Linux and Docker environments. It operates through a fixed whitelist of 38 safe commands, preventing arbitrary code execution while allowing AI models to gather diagnostic information. The tool automatically redacts sensitive secrets from output and enforces per-command timeouts for safety.

How to set up

Installation is straightforward via npm: npx @rootpilot/mcp-ssh-diagnose. The tool integrates as an MCP server compatible with Claude and other AI platforms. Configure SSH access to your target Linux or Docker servers, and the tool will establish secure connections for diagnostics without requiring elevated privileges.
