SSH MCP Pro

ssh-mcp-pro is a secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SSH automation. It lets MCP-capable clients open SSH sessions, inspect hosts, run guarded commands, manage files, transfer artifacts, create tunnels, and perform idempotent package or service work through policy-controlled tools. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install SSH MCP Pro

Claude Code

claude mcp add oaslananka-ssh-mcp-pro -- npx -y ssh-mcp-pro

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oaslananka-ssh-mcp-pro": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ssh-mcp-pro"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
