Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Curated ssh_probe diagnostics and single-host ssh_exec over an allowlisted SSH fleet.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: SSH_FLEET_AUTH_TOKEN

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: SSH_FLEET_TRANSPORT, SSH_FLEET_CMD_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, SSH_FLEET_OUTPUT_CAP_BYTES, SSH_FLEET_PROBE_CONCURRENCY, SSH_FLEET_PROBE_MAX_HOSTS, SSH_FLEET_AUTH_TOKEN

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Common questions

Is SSH Fleet safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: SSH_FLEET_AUTH_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.5) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

mcp-ssh-fleet

English | Русский

MCP server that gives an agent two tools over SSH to a fleet of hosts outside Kubernetes. The SSH key is a mounted secret (never enters model context); the inventory is a fail-closed allowlist.

Tools

  • `ssh_probe(tags, check)` — curated read-only diagnostics on every host carrying the given tags (AND semantics, like GitLab runner tags). check is one of a built-in set: uptime, disk, mem, failed, logs. Arbitrary commands cannot be passed. Class: read-only.
  • `ssh_exec(host, command)` — one arbitrary non-interactive command on ONE inventory host (by name or address; hosts outside the inventory are refused). Class: write-external: the server executes the command, while access gating (approval/RBAC) belongs to the MCP client.

Both: output size cap, per-host timeout, TOFU host-key check (fingerprint in logs), output as one section per host.

Inventory format — see deploy/inventory.example.yaml.

Quickstart (docker, stdio)

docker run -i --rm \

-v /path/to/inventory.yaml:/etc/ssh-fleet/inventory.yaml:ro \ -v /path/to/id_ed25519:/etc/ssh-fleet/id_ed25519:ro \ -e SSH_FLEET_TRANSPORT=stdio \ ghcr.io/inhuman/mcp-ssh-fleet:latest

This is the shape MCP clients use when installing from the MCP Registry (io.github.inhuman/mcp-ssh-fleet).

Connecting an MCP client (http/sse)

By default the server speaks StreamableHTTP; register it as a regular HTTP MCP server with endpoint /mcp (URL like http:// :8080/mcp). Both tools become available to the client.

Client-side security recommendations:

  • ssh_probe is read-only (curated checks only) and can be granted broadly.
  • ssh_exec is arbitrary execution (write-external). Gate its access on the client side (approval / RBAC / user allowlist) — the server merely executes a command on an inventory host; it does not decide access policy.

Development

make test        # unit tests + e2e against a real in-process SSH server

Release: tag vX.Y.Z → GitHub Actions builds and publishes a multi-arch image to ghcr.io/inhuman/mcp-ssh-fleet.
