MCP Server Integration

Native Model Context Protocol access to SSH sessions. AI agents call SSH operations as MCP tools — no CLI wrapping needed.

The opportunity

Today, AI agents use sshDCommander through CLI shell execution. This works well, but the Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers a tighter integration. MCP lets AI agents call tools directly via JSON-RPC without shell parsing, output formatting, or command-line escaping. The result is faster, more reliable, and natively typed.

CLI vs MCP integration

  • - CLI: AI agent formats a shell command string, parses text output
  • - MCP: AI agent calls a typed tool with structured parameters and gets JSON back
  • - CLI: Shell metacharacters need escaping (solved by script mode)
  • - MCP: No shell layer — parameters are JSON, not strings
  • - Both: Persistent sessions, SHA-256 verification, server profiles, audit trails

What the MCP Server provides

The sshDCommander MCP Server exposes all base tools as MCP tool calls. AI agents get native JSON-RPC access to command execution, file transfers, and server management. The MCP Server bridges to the same persistent daemon — all the same features, delivered via a protocol AI agents speak natively.

Planned MCP tools (v1.0)

ssh_exec

Execute a command on a remote server

ssh_upload

Upload a file with SHA-256 verification

ssh_download

Download a file from a remote server

ssh_connect

Establish an SSH session to a server

ssh_status

Check connection status and session info

server_list

List available server profiles

Future MCP tools (with httpX add-on)

http_request

HTTP request through SSH tunnel

db_query

Database query through SSH tunnel

cert_inspect

Inspect SSL certificates remotely

How it works

MCP tool call (conceptual)
// AI agent calls MCP tool — no shell, no escaping
{ "tool": "ssh_exec",
  "params": {
    "server": "prod",
    "command": "systemctl status nginx"
  }
}
// Response: structured JSON, not text parsing
{ "exit_code": 0,
  "stdout": "nginx.service - active (running)",
  "server": "prod"
}
