# bladerunner-mcp

MCP server that lets an AI session operate your remote machines over SSH.

> ⚠️ **These tools run real commands on real servers with your credentials.**
> Running your MCP client in auto-approve ("YOLO") mode means the model can
> execute anything on your machines without you seeing it first. Keep manual
> approval on for this server, use least-privilege SSH accounts, and have
> backups/snapshots for anything you point it at. See [Security](#security).

You `pip install bladerunner-mcp`, describe your hosts (e.g. a Hetzner box) in a
YAML config with credentials, and the server exposes MCP tools to run commands,
track long-running processes and transfer files on those hosts. The model only
ever sees host aliases — secrets never enter the conversation.

**Scope:** POSIX remote hosts only (`sh`, `nohup`, `tail`, `head`, `wc` must be
present on the target). Windows hosts are not supported.

## Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `list_hosts` | List configured host aliases (no secrets) |
| `run_command` | Run a shell command on a host, return stdout/stderr/exit code (capped at 64 KiB per stream) |
| `read_output` | Page through the full output of a truncated `run_command` or a background process |
| `start_process` | Start a long-running command in the background (nohup), return pid + work_dir |
| `check_process` | Report process status (`run…
