Only SSH key authentication is supported — passwords are explicitly rejected.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- **SSH key-only auth** — RSA, Ed25519, ECDSA, DSS. No passwords.\n- **File operations** — read, write, append, delete, rename, stat\n- **Directory operations** — list, create, delete (recursive)\n- **Shell execution** — run any command with stdout/stderr/exit code capture\n- **Connection check** — `vps_ping` tool with server info\n- **Secure** — checks key file permissions (must be `600`), no SSH agent fallback, no `~/.ssh` key scanning\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\npip install ssh-vps-mcp\n```\n\nOr install from source:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/aldirrss/ssh-vps-mcp\ncd ssh-vps-mcp\npip install .\n```\n\nVerify installation:\n```bash\nssh-vps-mcp --version\n```\n\n---\n\n## Usage with Claude Code\n\n### 1. Configure in Claude Code\n\nAdd to your Claude Code MCP config. The config file is at:\n- **Global**: `~/.claude.json`\n- **Project-level**: `.claude/settings.json` (in your project root)\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"vps\": {\n      \"command\": \"ssh-vps-mcp\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"--host\", \"YOUR_VPS_IP_OR_HOSTNAME\",\n        \"--user\", \"root\",\n        \"--private-key-path\", \"~/.ssh/id_rsa\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### 2. Or add via Claude Code CLI\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add vps -- ssh-vps-mcp \\\n  --host YOUR_VPS_IP \\\n  --user root \\\n  --private-key-path ~/.ssh/id_rsa\n```\n\n### 3. Start Claude Code\n\n```bash\nclaude\n```\n\nYou'll see the VPS MCP connect on startup. Then ask Claude to manage your server:\n\n```\n> Can you check what's in /var/log/nginx/ on the VPS?\n> Deploy this nginx config to /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp\n> Run: systemctl restart nginx\n```\n\n---\n\n## Authentication Options\n\n### Option A: Private key file (recommended)\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n   …","publisher":null,"homepage":"https://lemacore.com","repository":"https://github.com/aldirrss/vps-mcp","version":"0.1.1","license":"MIT","protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["claude","claude-code","mcp","remote","ssh","vps"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:ssh-vps-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","license":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"dev.terminal","name":"Terminal & Shell","confidence":1,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"security.identity","name":"Identity & Access","confidence":1,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.filesystem","name":"Filesystem","confidence":0.802,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.version-control","name":"Version Control","confidence":0.745,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.ci-cd","name":"CI/CD & Deploy","confidence":0.733,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["dev","security"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"ssh-vps-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-11-04T01:24:53.427Z","publishedAt":"2026-06-02T14:12:38.640708Z","latestVersion":"0.1.1"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"ssh-vps-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/ssh-vps-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T13:19:28.048Z","fetchedAt":"2026-11-04T01:23:35.009Z","normalizedAt":"2026-11-04T01:23:35.009Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T13:19:28.048Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-04T01:24:53.427Z"}
