Universal Host Manager MCP

A cross-platform Model Context Protocol server for administering a Linux or macOS host through MCP clients such as ChatGPT and Claude.

It uses FastMCP Streamable HTTP transport, Auth0 OAuth, bounded file tools, output limits and command timeouts.

[!CAUTION]

This project exposes arbitrary shell execution. Authentication decides who may use it; it does not make commands harmless. Read SECURITY.md before deploying it.

Features

Linux and macOS support
Streamable HTTP endpoint
Auth0 OAuth integration
File reads, writes and directory listings constrained to MCP_WORKSPACE_DIR
Configurable command timeouts and output truncation
File-size limits and decoding fallback
Fail-closed startup when authentication is not configured
Example systemd and launchd services

Tools

Tool	Parameters	Purpose
`run_command`	`command: str`, `timeout: int`	Runs an arbitrary shell command with the workspace as its working directory
`read_file`	`path: str`	Reads a text file inside the workspace
`write_file`	`path: str`, `content: str`	Writes UTF-8 text inside the workspace
`list_dir`	`path: str = "."`	Lists a directory inside the workspace
`system_metrics`	none	Reports disk, memory and top-process information

The workspace boundary applies to the file tools. It does not sandbox run_command; commands retain all permissions of the service's OS user.

Requirements

Python 3.10+
Linux or macOS
Auth0 account for remote use
HTTPS endpoint for remote MCP clients

Install

PyPI (recommended)

pip install universal-host-manager-mcp

Next: run uhm-setup to generate your .env — see Configure below.

uv / pipx

Without polluting a project environment:

uvx --from universal-host-manager-mcp uhm-setup

This installs into a throwaway environment, runs the setup wizard, and writes .env in the current directory. From then on, run the server itself the same way: uvx universal-host-manager-mcp.

From source (for development)

git clone https://github.com/Abktya/universal-host-manager-mcp.git

cd universal-host-manager-mcp python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -e .

Next: run uhm-setup to generate your .env — see Configure below.

Configure

The easiest way is the interactive setup wizard, installed alongside the server:

uhm-setup

Run it from the directory where you want to keep the configuration. The server must later be started from that same directory so it can find .env.

For a first test, choose 1 — Local-only test. Press Enter to accept the port 8765; the port prompt expects a number, not y or n. This mode:

creates a separate workspace directory by default;
listens only on 127.0.0.1, so other computers cannot connect;
requires no domain, tunnel, or Auth0 account;
enables unauthenticated access only for that local test.

The wizard also offers Cloudflare Tunnel, an ngrok static domain, and an existing HTTPS URL for remote use. Remote modes require Auth0 and will not write a misleading, unusable configuration if Auth0 is skipped. It validates domains and URLs, then writes .env with 600 permissions—backing up an existing file to .env.bak first.

If a virtual environment is active, install and run both commands through that environment:

python -m pip install universal-host-manager-mcp

uhm-setup universal-host-manager-mcp

To verify that the command belongs to the active environment on macOS/Linux:

command -v uhm-setup

command -v universal-host-manager-mcp python -m pip show universal-host-manager-mcp

The first two paths should normally point inside .venv/bin. If they point to /opt/homebrew/bin while a virtual environment is active, reinstall with python -m pip install universal-host-manager-mcp.

Prefer to do it by hand? Create a .env file (copy .env.example if you installed from source) with an explicitly restricted workspace:

HOST=127.0.0.1

PORT=8765 MCP_BASE_URL=https://mcp.example.com MCP_WORKSPACE_DIR=/home/youruser/workspace

AUTH0_DOMAIN=your-tenant.eu.auth0.com AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=replace_me AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=replace_me AUTH0_AUDIENCE=https://mcp.example.com/

Never commit .env.

Auth0 setup

This project uses FastMCP's Auth0Provider fixed-client OAuth integration.

Open auth0.com, create an account, and open the Auth0 Dashboard.
Go to Applications → APIs → Create API.
Use your public MCP URL as its Identifier (audience), for example https://mcp.example.com/. Keep RS256 as the signing algorithm.
Go to Applications → Applications → Create Application, enter a name, select Regular Web Application, and create it.
Set Application Ownership to First-party. Open Application > API Access, select the API you created, and enable User-delegated Access.
On Auth0's Integrate into your application page, click Copy above the .env block. The wizard can import AUTH0_DOMAIN, AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, and AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET from your clipboard or from a pasted block. If Auth0 displays MASKED, reveal and copy the real Client Secret from the application's Settings tab; masked secrets are rejected.
Copy the API's Identifier into AUTH0_AUDIENCE when the wizard asks for it. It is intentionally separate because Auth0's application .env block does not contain the API audience.
In the Auth0 application's Settings, use the MCP server's public origin (without /mcp) as follows:

Auth0 field	Value
Application Ownership	First-party
Application Type	Regular Web Application
Application Login URI	Leave blank
Allowed Callback URLs	`https://mcp.example.com/auth/callback`
Allowed Logout URLs	`https://mcp.example.com`
Allowed Web Origins	`https://mcp.example.com`
Allowed Origins (CORS)	`https://mcp.example.com`
Allow Cross-Origin Authentication	Off / disabled
Cross-Origin Verification Fallback URL	Leave blank
API Identifier / Audience	`https://mcp.example.com/`
Signing Algorithm	RS256
Application > API Access	User-delegated Access enabled for the created API
MCP endpoint (entered in the AI client, not Auth0)	`https://mcp.example.com/mcp`

Save the Auth0 application settings, then run the wizard. Never share the Client Secret or commit .env to Git.

The callback above is FastMCP's fixed upstream callback. Do not put Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok callback URLs into Auth0: those products are downstream MCP clients and FastMCP validates their redirect URIs separately during MCP client registration. Connect each product to https://mcp.example.com/mcp.

Auth0's Python quickstart also shows AUTH0_SECRET, APP_BASE_URL, PORT, and sample Flask code. They belong to Auth0's standalone sample web application and are not used by this MCP server; the wizard safely ignores them when importing the copied block.

Client notes:

ChatGPT supports MCP OAuth client registration with CIMD and DCR. The server allows https://chatgpt.com/connector_platform_oauth_redirect; add the public /mcp endpoint in ChatGPT developer mode.
Claude custom connectors accept the public /mcp endpoint and start OAuth when you connect.
Grok custom connectors accept a publicly reachable MCP server URL and complete any required authentication. Grok availability may depend on the current Grok plan and workspace controls.

FastMCP also supports an Auth0 MCP-native/DCR path through Auth0MCPProvider. This repository currently uses the manually managed, fixed-client Auth0Provider path.

Run

universal-host-manager-mcp

(Running from a source checkout with the .venv activated works the same way — the console script is installed by pip install -e ..)

With the default port, the Streamable HTTP endpoint is:

http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp

For an intentional local-only test without Auth0:

ALLOW_INSECURE_NO_AUTH=true universal-host-manager-mcp

Do not use insecure mode on a publicly reachable endpoint.

After starting the server (and the tunnel for remote mode), verify it:

curl -i https://mcp.example.com/mcp

Expected without a token: HTTP 401

curl -i https://mcp.example.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Expected: HTTP 200

The server and tunnel must remain running; closing either makes a tunneled endpoint unavailable.

Cloudflare Tunnel

Install cloudflared, authenticate it and create a named tunnel:

cloudflared tunnel login

cloudflared tunnel create universal-host-manager-mcp cloudflared tunnel route dns universal-host-manager-mcp mcp.example.com

Create ~/.cloudflared/config.yml:

tunnel: YOUR_TUNNEL_ID

credentials-file: /home/youruser/.cloudflared/YOUR_TUNNEL_ID.json

ingress:

hostname: mcp.example.com service: http://127.0.0.1:8765
service: http_status:404

Validate and run it:

cloudflared tunnel ingress validate

cloudflared tunnel run universal-host-manager-mcp

Keep both universal-host-manager-mcp and cloudflared running. Closing either process takes the public endpoint offline. The setup wizard can create an executable uhm-enable-autostart.sh installer. It writes Linux systemd-user services or macOS LaunchAgents for both processes and shows one command to run.

Your remote MCP URL will be:

https://mcp.example.com/mcp

Set MCP_BASE_URL=https://mcp.example.com; do not include /mcp in MCP_BASE_URL.

No domain? Use ngrok's free static domain

Auth0 OAuth needs a stable HTTPS URL, but you don't need to own a domain to get one. Unlike ngrok's old random URLs (which changed every restart) or Cloudflare's login-free quick tunnels (same problem), ngrok's free tier includes one static subdomain per account that never changes, at no cost.

Create a free account at ngrok.com. On macOS install it with brew install ngrok/ngrok/ngrok; on Ubuntu use sudo snap install ngrok. Other Linux distributions can use ngrok's official download instructions.
Open the ngrok authtoken page, copy your token, and run:

   ngrok config add-authtoken YOUR_NGROK_TOKEN

Use the authtoken, not the domain ID. Never share it; reset it in the dashboard if it is exposed.

Claim your free static domain from the ngrok dashboard (Domains → New Domain). You'll get something like your-name.ngrok-free.dev.
Start universal-host-manager-mcp from the directory containing .env.
In a second terminal, start the tunnel:

   ngrok http --url=your-name.ngrok-free.dev 8765

Both processes must remain running. Closing either one takes the public endpoint offline. The wizard can create uhm-enable-autostart.sh, which installs Linux systemd-user services or macOS LaunchAgents for both processes.

Set MCP_BASE_URL=https://your-name.ngrok-free.dev in .env (keep HOST=127.0.0.1; ngrok forwards to the local port while the server listen
