Sshmcp

Overview

Sshmcp is a Model Context Protocol server that brings SSH server management directly into your AI assistant. It enables zero-token SFTP file transfer and SOCKS proxy support, letting Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients execute remote operations as native tools without additional authentication layers.

The server runs locally on your machine via npx -y @nl4ever/sshmcp, communicating with your MCP client over stdio. No credentials or special setup required—it works immediately after installation. Version v1.2.1 is the current release, with active development at NikolaNddTesla/ssh-mcp-server on GitHub.

Sshmcp appears in the AI & Agents category and integrates with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and compatible MCP clients. Maintainers are welcome to claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information accurate.
