Overview

Remote Command MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables remote command execution across different operating systems, providing a unified interface to execute shell commands while handling platform-specific differences.

To use Remote Command MCP, clone the repository, install dependencies, build the server, and configure it in your settings file. You can then use the execute_remote_command tool to run any valid shell command on the host machine.

  • Cross-platform command execution - Automatic command normalization between Windows and Unix - Built-in error handling and output streaming - Working directory specification support - Platform-specific shell selection
  1. Executing system commands remotely
  2. Managing packages across different OS environments
  3. Performing network operations and monitoring
  4. Running development tools and scripts remotely
  5. Managing services and processes on remote machines

Use these steps to connect Remote Command MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-remote-command-mcp-deepsuthar496"
      ]
    }
  }
}
