SSH Manager MCP server

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to your remote servers over SSH. SSH is the standard way to log in to another computer and run commands on it. If you look after one or more servers and want to ask your AI to do small jobs on them, this is for you.

What this MCP server does

You tell your AI what you want, for example to check whether a service is running or to copy a file to a server. Your AI passes that request to this helper program. The helper logs in to the server you named and runs the command or transfer there. Then it sends the result back, and your AI shows it to you in the chat. You can also set rules per server, so on some servers the helper is only allowed to look, not to change anything.

What you can do with it

• Run a command on one of your servers and read the output
• Copy files to and from a server, or sync a folder with rsync
• Dump a database or run a read-only query and see the rows
• Make a backup of files or a database on a server
• Check whether a server is reachable and how it is doing
• Open a tunnel to a service that is only reachable from the server
• Run the same command on a group of servers at once

Try asking your AI

• “Check if nginx is running on my production server”
• “Show me the last 50 lines of the app log on staging”
• “Copy the file report.csv from my laptop to the backups folder on server 2”
• “Run a backup of the shop database on the production server”

What it gives back to you

You get the output of what ran, shown as text in the chat: command results, log lines, file lists, database rows, or a short summary of a transfer or backup. If something failed, you see the error message and the exit code. For actions that change things, like an upload or a backup, you get a short confirmation of what was done.
