gelse/ssh-mcp (gelse/ssh-mcp) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. M8ven has not graded it: there is no public source to read and no endpoint we can reach, so there is nothing for us to inspect. The publisher has proved control of what we score (Verified Publisher). It is connected through the M8ven GitHub App, so the listing is re-checked on every push.
