MCP SSH/SFTP 服务器

What is MCP SSH/SFTP 服务器?

A collection of SSH and SFTP servers implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The SSH server enables remote command execution, while the SFTP server provides file transfer capabilities such as listing directories, uploading, and downloading files. It is intended for developers and operators who need programmatic remote server management and file operations via an MCP-compatible interface.

How to use MCP SSH/SFTP 服务器?

Copy servers.json.example to servers.json, then edit the file with your server credentials (host, port, username, password). The MCP host (e.g., an AI assistant) can then call the provided tools: execute_ssh_command for SSH commands, and list_directory, upload_file, download_file for SFTP operations. Each tool requires the server connection parameters and the operation-specific path/command.
