What is mcp-ssh-manager CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file for Claude Code that explains the MCP SSH Manager's purpose, parts, commands, setup, and installation. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to connect to outside services.

It is for understanding, setting up, and maintaining a Node.js server and Python tools that manage SSH connections, remote commands, file transfers, and deployments.

It gives the coding agent the project context needed to work with the repository without having to discover the structure and commands from scratch.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.02769	$0.02769

Security

Grade B, and why

mcp-ssh-manager CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Project Overview

MCP SSH Manager is a Model Context Protocol server that enables Claude Code to manage multiple SSH connections. It provides tools for executing commands, transferring files, and managing deployments across remote servers.

Architecture

The system consists of three main components:

MCP Server (src/index.js): Node.js-based MCP server using the Model Context Protocol SDK
- Handles SSH connections via node-ssh library
- Manages connection pooling to avoid reconnecting
- Provides MCP tools for Claude Code integration
Server Management (tools/server_manager.py): Python CLI for configuration
- Manages .env file with server configurations
- Tests connections using Paramiko
- Configures Claude Code integration
Deployment Helpers (src/deploy-helper.js, src/server-aliases.js): Advanced features
- Automated deployment strategies with permission handling
- Server alias management for simplified access
- Batch deployment scripts generation

Commands

Setup and Installation

npm install                                    # Install Node.js dependencies
./scripts/setup-hooks.sh                      # Setup pre-commit hooks for development

Server Management (Bash CLI)

ssh-manager server add                        # Add a new server
ssh-manager server list                       # List configured servers
ssh-manager server test SERVER                # Test connection to specific server
ssh-manager server remove SERVER              # Remove a server
ssh-manager server show SERVER                # Show server details

OpenAI Codex Integration

ssh-manager codex setup                       # Configure for Codex
ssh-manager codex migrate                     # Convert servers to TOML
ssh-manager codex test                        # Test Codex integration
ssh-manager codex convert to-toml            # Convert .env to TOML
ssh-manager codex convert to-env             # Convert TOML to .env

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mcp-ssh-manager CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bvisible/mcp-ssh-manager (467 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 2,769 tokens to every session, about $0.0138 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
