An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides SSH client functionality for remote Linux server management. This server enables AI assistants to execute commands on remote Linux hosts via SSH, solving the limitations of built-in tools when working with remote systems.

## Why SSH MCP Server?

Built-in MCP tools are limited to local operations. This server extends AI capabilities to remote Linux systems by providing:

- **Remote Command Execution**: Execute any command on remote Linux hosts
- **System Administration**: Manage services, check system health, monitor processes
- **Secure Authentication**: Multiple secure credential storage options
- **Enterprise Integration**: Works with domain-joined systems and enterprise environments

## Features

- **SSH Command Execution**: Execute arbitrary commands on remote Linux hosts
- **Sudo Support**: Run commands with elevated privileges (secure password handling)
