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(config.sshPath, args, {

    "remote-ssh-mcp: no exact SSH Host aliases discovered; add Host aliases to ~/.ssh/config or set SSH_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS",
