ssh_exec

MCP tool from MCP Server by LeszczynskiKarol

SSH into any host using a key defined in hosts.json

How to use it

Project documentation lists ssh_exec for the MCP Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
