faizbawa/mcp-remote-ssh

What it does

faizbawa/mcp-remote-ssh is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI agents with full SSH access to remote systems. It enables agents to execute commands, manage files via SFTP, and configure port forwarding while maintaining security through environment-based secret injection and automatic output redaction.

How to set up

Installation requires setting up the MCP server in your Claude or compatible AI environment. Configure SSH credentials securely using environment variables. The tool accepts SSH connection parameters and routes all commands through the MCP protocol, ensuring secrets are passed via stdin and never exposed in process listings.
