sshmcp

A stateful SSH MCP server for Claude Code. Gives Claude persistent shell sessions over SSH — commands preserve working directory, environment variables, and state across calls.

Features

  • Stateful sessions: tmux-backed shells that persist cwd, env, shell state
  • Multiple sessions: connect to multiple hosts simultaneously, switch between them
  • File operations: upload, download, and write files via SFTP
  • Output management: automatic truncation with head/tail preservation
  • Background processes: supports & for long-running commands

Install

pip install -e .

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ssh": {
      "command": "sshmcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
