🚨

Reads files from sensitive locations

Touches: ~/.ssh/config

// tools this server exposes4 tools

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

execute_ssh_command

Run a shell command on a remote host over SSH.

list_ssh_hosts

List all host aliases from the SSH config.

get_host_info

Get config details (hostname, port, user, key) for a host alias.

test_ssh_connection

Test SSH connectivity to a host without running a command.

// environment variables

To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

configMCP_TRANSPORTstdio, sse, streamable-http (defaults to stdio)

configSSH_MCP_LOG_DIRThe log directory is controlled by the environment variable. When unset, an OS-appropriate default is used:

configXDG_STATE_HOME${XDG_STATE_HOME:-~/.local/state}/ssh-mcp/logs/

configPROXY_CONFIG_PATHSSH MCP supports SOCKS5 proxy connections with authentication. Create a JSON file with proxy configurations and set the environment variable:

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

4/4 tools missing one or more hints — execute_ssh_command (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_ssh_hosts (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_host_info (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +1 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.

No access to sensitive paths

Reads sensitive paths: ~/.ssh/config

Remove reads of sensitive system paths. If you genuinely need them, document why in the README.

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// 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 3 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
