### Description (declared)

# mcp-ssh-multi

MCP server for managing multiple SSH servers through AI assistants. Provides 11 tools for remote command execution, file operations, and system monitoring.

**Current version: 0.4.0**

## Features

- **Multi-server management** — Configure and manage multiple SSH servers from a single YAML file
- **Connection pooling** — Automatic connection reuse with per-server locks and retry on stale connections
- **Bounded command output** — Streams stdout/stderr with a configurable combined memory limit
- **Timeout cleanup** — Terminates timed-out remote processes and explicitly closes their SSH channels
- **11 MCP tools** — Execute commands, transfer files, read/write files, tail logs, list processes
- **Two transports** — stdio (for local MCP clients) and streamable-http (for web/remote)
- **Cloudflare Tunnel compatible** — Deploy behind a tunnel for remote access
- **MCP tool annotations** — Hints for destructive, read-only, idempotent, and open-world operations
- **MCP resources** — `ssh://servers` resource for listing configured servers
- **Pagination** — Directory listings support `limit`/`offset` for large directories
- **Input validation** — Path and filter sanitization to prevent command injection
- **Structured errors** — Consistent error responses with codes, messages, and suggestions
