A development guide for ssh-licco, a Python server that lets AI models use SSH to connect to computers and run server-related tasks.

Use it when developing or maintaining ssh-licco, including its connections, sessions, command execution, security checks, and configuration.

It gives one place to follow the project’s setup, debugging, versioning, Docker deployment, and release practices.

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	$0.00035	$0.03606
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.01442
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00721
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00361

Measured 11d ago against content hash 5c2acbb9f380, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

ssh-mcp-dev 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 11d 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.

- Check server SSH service: `sudo systemctl status sshd`

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.

ssh-mcp-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository Echoqili/ssh-licco (4 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 3,606 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
