Replit SSH MCP Server

What the code does

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

          fs.writeFileSync(outFd, pdfBuffer);

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 fullPath = path.join(stagingDir, filename);

    const child = spawn(process.execPath, [script], {

  if (isUnder(resolvedAbs, sshDir)) return { hit: true, reason: '~/.ssh/** is sensitive' };

  <script src="https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com/lib/1.1/hosted/office.js"></script>

    const entries = fs.readdirSync(workspacePath, { withFileTypes: true });

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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: REPLIT_SSH_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Optional per-request timeout in milliseconds (default 60000, max 600000).), MCP_REPLIT_SSH_STRICT_HOST_KEY (Set to 1 to require pre-populated known-hosts entries. When unset (default), unknown hosts are recorded on first contact (OpenSSH `accept-new` behaviour); a fingerprint mismatch always fails closed.), MCP_REPLIT_SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS_PATH (Explicit path to the connector's SSH known-hosts file. Defaults to $MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH/.replit-ssh-known-hosts, then $HOME/.replit-mcp/known_hosts.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
