Realssh Mcp
Run trusted SSH commands on remote servers from your agent during deploys, log checks, and production fixes without leaving the IDE chat.
Overview
RealSSH MCP is a MCP server for the Operate phase that exposes SSH remote command execution to your coding agent over stdio.
What is this MCP server?
- realssh-mcp v1.0.6 on npm (@danielecr/realssh-mcp), stdio MCP transport.
- Focused scope: SSH remote command execution exposed as MCP tools.
- Fits agent-driven incident response and maintenance on existing hosts.
- No cloud-vendor lock-in in server metadata—works with any SSH-reachable machine.
- Developer/infra MCP—not a full terminal multiplexer or file-sync suite by description alone.
- Package version 1.0.6
- npm identifier @danielecr/realssh-mcp
- stdio transport only in published schema
What problem does it solve?
You still SSH into servers manually for every production tweak while your agent sits one tab away with no safe remote execution path.
Who is it for?
Solo operators on one or a few Linux servers who want MCP-assisted maintenance, logs, and restarts with SSH keys they control.
Skip if: Teams needing full interactive PTY sessions, rich SFTP browsers, or compliance-grade session recording without extra tooling.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering @danielecr/realssh-mcp, your agent can run remote SSH commands you authorize on hosts your keys already reach.
- MCP tools for SSH remote command execution
- Agent-accessible ops on existing SSH hosts
- stdio integration without additional env vars in server.json

How it compares
SSH command MCP—not a managed PaaS deploy skill or Kubernetes control plane integration.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is RealSSH MCP for?
Solo builders and tiny devops-minded teams who operate SSH-accessible servers and want agents to run remote commands via MCP.
When should I use RealSSH MCP?
Use it in Operate on infra tasks—log inspection, service restarts, quick diagnostics—on hosts you already manage over SSH.
How do I add RealSSH MCP to my agent?
Install npm package @danielecr/realssh-mcp v1.0.6, configure stdio in your MCP client, and ensure SSH keys and host access work for the accounts your agent will use.
