What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    "auth": { "type": "key", "keyPath": "~/.ssh/rootpilot_key" }

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add rootpilot-ssh-diagnose -- npx -y @rootpilot/mcp-ssh-diagnose

}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RP_HOSTS (Path to your hosts.json (see hosts.example.json in the repo)), RP_PROBE_URL (Target URL for the outbound-connectivity / DNS probes (default: https://cloudflare.com)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Rootpilot SSH Diagnose — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Rootpilot SSH Diagnose?
Rootpilot SSH Diagnose runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @rootpilot/mcp-ssh-diagnose was installed 53 times last week.
How do I connect Rootpilot SSH Diagnose?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @rootpilot/mcp-ssh-diagnose straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Rootpilot SSH Diagnose?
The npm package @rootpilot/mcp-ssh-diagnose was installed 53 times in the last week. Week over week that is +10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Rootpilot SSH Diagnose open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
