Ssh
Let your agent run governed SSH sessions against a remote host using agent socket or key-based auth for deploy and server ops.
Overview
com.pulsemcp/ssh is a MCP server for the Operate phase that manages a remote server over SSH with agent or key authentication for your coding agent.
What is this MCP server?
- stdio MCP package ssh-agent-mcp-server v0.1.4 via npx
- SSH agent socket support via SSH_AUTH_SOCK plus optional SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH
- Required SSH_HOST and SSH_USERNAME with default SSH_PORT 22
- Optional SSH_PASSPHRASE for encrypted private keys
- Remote server management tools over Model Context Protocol stdio
- Server schema version 0.1.4
- Package identifier ssh-agent-mcp-server
What problem does it solve?
Debugging production or staging on a VPS still means juggling SSH terminals separately from the agent that understands your codebase.
Who is it for?
Solo builders running their own Linux servers who want agent-assisted ops with ssh-agent or key auth.
Skip if: Teams that need full multi-host inventory, bastion hopping, or compliance-reviewed shell access without tight tool limits.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you configure host, user, and auth, your agent can execute MCP-governed remote commands and inspections over SSH in one workflow.
- Configured single-host SSH MCP session for the agent
- Remote inspection and command execution within MCP tool boundaries

How it compares
SSH remote ops MCP, not a local shell skill or full PaaS deploy pipeline.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is com.pulsemcp/ssh for?
Developers who operate remote VPS or bare-metal hosts and use AI agents for incident response and routine infra tasks.
When should I use com.pulsemcp/ssh?
Use it in Operate when you need log checks, service restarts, or scripted maintenance on a server you already SSH into manually.
How do I add com.pulsemcp/ssh to my agent?
Add ssh-agent-mcp-server via npx stdio, set SSH_HOST and SSH_USERNAME, configure SSH_AUTH_SOCK or SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH (and passphrase if needed), then enable MCP in your client.
