SSH MCP Server

What the code does

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

      await executor.executeChecked(config, `rm -rf -- ${shellQuote(path)}`, {

const WRAPPERS = /^(sudo|doas|env|nohup|time|timeout|nice|ionice|setsid)$/;

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.

    const child = spawn(file, args, { env, shell: false });

        logger.debug(`[Profiles File] Profile "${name}" ignores the user's ~/.ssh/config`);
