What the code does

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",

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.

claude mcp add remote-ssh-mcp -- npx -y @zyluo/remote-ssh-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-ssh-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@zyluo/remote-ssh-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

[mcp_servers.remote-ssh-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@zyluo/remote-ssh-mcp"]

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-ssh-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@zyluo/remote-ssh-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SSH_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS (Comma-separated additional SSH Host aliases to allow), SSH_MCP_CONFIG (Path to remote-ssh-mcp config.json). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
