Overview

MCP SSH Server is a powerful implementation of an SSH server designed for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling secure remote command execution and file operations through the SSH protocol.

To use the MCP SSH Server, install the package via npm, configure it in your Claude desktop config, and use REST API calls for authentication and command execution.

  • Secure SSH connection management - Password and key-based authentication - Remote command execution - File operations (upload/download) - Progress tracking for file transfers - Permission management - Directory operations - Bulk file transfers - Detailed logging
  1. Securely executing commands on remote servers.
  2. Managing files on remote systems through SSH.
  3. Automating server management tasks.

Use these steps to connect MCP SSH 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": {
    "shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-shaike1-mcp-server-ssh-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}
