kernel-build-mcp
An MCP server designed for remote Linux kernel cross-compilation over Tailscale SSH. It enables users to manage configurations, execute kernel builds, and retrieve build artifacts directly through an MCP-compatible interface.
README
kernel-build-mcp
MCP server for remote Linux kernel cross-compilation.
Setup
1. Install Tailscale
Install on both Mac and Linux:
# Mac
brew install tailscale
# Linux
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
sudo tailscale up
Enable Tailscale SSH on the Linux machine:
sudo tailscale up --ssh
Verify connectivity from Mac:
# Check Tailscale IP
tailscale ip -4 # on Linux machine
# Test SSH (no keys needed — Tailscale handles auth)
ssh user@100.x.x.x
Add to ~/.ssh/config for convenience:
Host kernel-build
HostName 100.x.x.x
User <user>
2. Deploy MCP server to Linux
scp -r . kernel-build:~/kernel-build-mcp/
ssh kernel-build "~/kernel-build-mcp/install.sh"
3. Configure
Either edit config on Linux directly:
ssh kernel-build "vi ~/.config/kernel-build-mcp/config.json"
Or use the set_config tool from Claude Code after connecting.
4. Connect from Claude Code
Copy .mcp.json to your kernel project:
cp .mcp.json /path/to/SmokeR24.1-kernel/.mcp.json
Or merge with existing .mcp.json if one exists.
Verify: claude --mcp-debug
