From the repository

Install with uv add m2m-mcp-server-ssh-server or pip install m2m-mcp-server-ssh-server. For key server functionality, add the [key-server] extra. Run the server with uv run m2m-mcp-server-ssh-server and configure MCP servers via a JSON file (servers_config.json). Connect using the client with uv run m2m-mcp-server-ssh-client --host <host> --port 8022 --use-key-server.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

MCP Server SSH Server

A secure SSH server for accessing and interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools installed remotely. This server allows clients to connect to multiple MCP tool providers through a unified secure interface.

Features

- Secure Remote Access: Access MCP tools remotely over SSH
- Key-Based Authentication: Support for key-based authentication
- Key Management API: Optional HTTP API for managing SSH keys
- Server Aggregation: Proxy and merge multiple MCP servers into a unified interface
- MCP Support: Compatible with MCP capabilities including:
- Prompts
- Resources
- Tools
- Logging
- Dynamic Configuration: Configure available MCP servers through a simple JSON configuration
