Overview

What is SSH Tools MCP?

SSH Tools MCP is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows you to connect to remote servers via SSH and execute commands. It is designed for users who need to run remote commands (for example, nvidia-smi) through a simple, tool-based interface.

How to use SSH Tools MCP?

Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, then run the server with python ssh_server.py. The server exposes three tools: connect_ssh, run_command, and disconnect_ssh, which can be called with the specified parameters.

Key features of SSH Tools MCP

Connect to an SSH server with hostname, username, password, and port
Execute remote commands on the connected server
Disconnect the current SSH session

Use cases of SSH Tools MCP

Remotely monitor GPU status via nvidia-smi on a Linux server
Run batch scripts or system checks on multiple servers
Quickly execute maintenance commands without opening a separate SSH client

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect to a server?

Use the `connect_ssh` tool and provide `hostname` (IP or hostname) and `password`. Optionally set `username` (default: root) and `port` (default: 22).

What commands can I run?

Any valid command that the remote server accepts, for example `nvidia-smi`. Use the `run_command` tool with the `command` parameter.

Do I need to disconnect explicitly?

Yes, it is recommended to call `disconnect_ssh` after finishing to close the SSH connection cleanly.

What authentication is supported?

The server currently supports password-based SSH authentication. The target server must allow SSH password authentication.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Python with the packages listed in `requirements.txt`. The server itself runs as a Python script (`ssh_server.py`).
