Overview

What is MCP Server SSH Server?

MCP Server SSH Server is a secure SSH server that allows clients to connect remotely to multiple MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool providers through a unified interface. It supports key-based authentication, optional HTTP key management, and server aggregation.

How to use MCP Server SSH Server?

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.

FAQ from MCP Server SSH Server

How does authentication work?

The server uses SSH key-based authentication. A client generates an SSH key pair, registers its public key via the optional key management HTTP API (POST /register), and then connects over SSH using its private key.

What are the installation requirements?

Python 3.x, plus dependencies: anyio (>=4.5.0), asyncssh (>=2.20.0), mcp (>=1.1.3), pydantic (>=2.0.0). The key server requires aiohttp (>=3.11.16) as an optional dependency.

Can I run the server on a public network?

Yes, but the README warns that binding to 0.0.0.0 makes the server accessible from any reachable machine. Strong authentication and additional security measures (e.g., firewalls) are recommended. Default binding is localhost for improved security.

What transports are supported?

The server uses SSH transport. It can also run an optional HTTP key management server alongside the SSH server.

How do I configure which MCP servers are available?

Create a JSON configuration file (default servers_config.json) with an mcpServers object containing command and args for each MCP tool. Pass the file path via --servers-config.
