SSH MCP Server

An SSH MCP server that enables AI agents to execute remote commands, transfer files, search logs, and perform server audits on cloud VPS, bare-metal boxes, or routers using the local OpenSSH client. It supports key-based authentication, jump hosts, and agent forwarding without bundling native bindings.
