What is ssh-manager-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

A set of Claude Code instructions for an SSH manager, a tool for connecting to and operating remote computers securely. The project supports commands, file transfers, backups, databases, tunnels, sessions, and deployments through SSH.

Guiding Claude while developing or maintaining an SSH management server, its configuration command-line tool, and its remote-server features.

It gives Claude a project summary, architecture notes, commands, and installation guidance before it works on the SSH manager. This reduces the need to rediscover how the repository is organised.

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 5.1	$0.02528	$0.02528
Opus 5.5	$0.01011	$0.01011
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00506	$0.00506

Security

Grade B, and why

ssh-manager-mcp-server 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 1mo 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.

Guía para Claude Code al trabajar en este repositorio.

Resumen del proyecto

MCP SSH Manager es un servidor Model Context Protocol para administrar conexiones SSH desde Claude Code y OpenAI Codex. Permite ejecutar comandos, transferir archivos, gestionar backups, bases de datos, túneles, sesiones y despliegues.

Arquitectura

El sistema tiene estos componentes principales:

Servidor MCP (src/index.js): servidor Node.js con el SDK MCP actual
- Maneja conexiones SSH con ssh2
- Mantiene un pool de conexiones para evitar reconexiones innecesarias
- Expone herramientas MCP para Claude Code y OpenAI Codex
CLI de configuración (cli/ssh-manager.js): comandos para administrar configuración
- Gestiona servidores en .env y TOML
- Configura integraciones para Claude Code y Codex
- Incluye comandos para perfiles, grupos, alias y herramientas
Módulos de soporte (src/*.js): funciones reutilizables
- Estrategias de despliegue con permisos
- Alias de servidores y comandos
- Backups, bases de datos, salud, sesiones, túneles y políticas de seguridad

Comandos

Instalación

npm install                                    # Instala dependencias de Node.js
npm run validate                              # Verifica lint, tests y cobertura

Servidor MCP por stdio

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ssh-manager": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["D:/work/ssh-manager-mcp-server/src/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SSH_ENV_PATH": "D:/work/ssh-manager-mcp-server/.env"
      }
    }
  }
}

El cliente MCP debe lanzar node src/index.js como proceso local por stdio. No usar npm start en la configuración del cliente. Ver docs/MCP_CLIENT_INSTALLATION.md.

Gestión de servidores

ssh-manager server add                        # Agrega un servidor
ssh-manager server list                       # Lista servidores configurados
ssh-manager server test SERVER                # Prueba conexión con un servidor
ssh-manager server remove SERVER              # Quita un servidor
ssh-manager server show SERVER                # Muestra detalles del servidor

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.
