README

ssh-mcp-go

MCP server for SSH operations built with:

It exposes three tools over stdio:

  • ssh_exec: run a remote command and return output
  • ssh_upload: upload a local file or directory to remote
  • ssh_download: download a remote file or directory to local
  • ssh_exec_dynamic: run a remote command with per-call SSH parameters

Requirements

  • Go 1.20+ (recommended)
  • An SSH server you can reach

Environment Variables

  • SSH_SERVER (required): user@host or host
  • SSH_PORT (optional, default 22)
  • SSH_KEY (optional): path to private key
  • SSH_PASSPHRASE or SSH_KEY_PASSPHRASE (optional): private key passphrase
  • SSH_PASSWORD (optional): password auth (also used for keyboard-interactive)
  • SSH_USER (optional): username when SSH_SERVER does not include user@

Auth priority is simple: if SSH_KEY is set, its key auth is included; if SSH_PASSWORD is set, password auth is included. At least one must be provided.

Build

go build -o ssh-mcp-go .

Run (stdio)

SSH_SERVER=user@host \
SSH_PORT=22 \
SSH_KEY=~/.ssh/id_rsa \
SSH_PASSPHRASE=your_passphrase \
./ssh-mcp-go

Tool Usage (example)

From an MCP client, call tools with the following arguments:

  • ssh_exec
    • command (string)
  • ssh_upload
    • local_path (string)
    • remote_path (string)
  • ssh_download
    • remote_path (string)
    • local_path (string)
  • ssh_exec_dynamic
    • server (string, host or user@host)
    • user (string, required if server has no user@)
    • port (int, optional)
    • password (string, optional)
    • key_path (string, optional)
    • passphrase (string, optional)
    • command (string)

Notes

  • Host key verification is not enforced (uses InsecureIgnoreHostKey).
  • Directory transfers are recursive.
