Deployment

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that handles deployment operations over SSH.

Features

• ssh_git_pull – SSH into a remote host and run git pull in a specified repository directory.
• ssh_run_command – Execute an arbitrary shell command on a remote host and return its stdout, stderr and exit code.
• ssh_run_script – Upload and execute a multi-line shell script on a remote host (piped to bash; no temporary files created locally).
• write_ssh_config – Write or update a Host entry in the local ~/.ssh/config file.

All SSH tools support authentication via an inline PEM private key, a path to a key file, or a password.

Installation

npm install
npm run build

Usage

Run the MCP server over stdio (used by MCP-compatible AI clients):

node dist/index.js
