ls-ssh-mcp

An MCP server for SSH session management with browser-based terminal monitoring, supporting persistent connections, command execution, SFTP file operations, and multi-session management.

Warning. Serious findings were identified. Review the full report before connecting. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Dependencies

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

12/12 tools missing one or more hints — ssh_connect (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ssh_exec (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ssh_list_sessions (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +9 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Shell command execution

2 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (src/ssh-connection-manager.ts:788, src/ssh-connection-manager.ts:2745)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

Readable source code

1 file appear obfuscated

Ship unminified, readable source.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 14 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.4 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.4 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dependency freshness

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
