You can securely manage remote servers through a focused MCP server that connects via standard IO. This setup lets you read, write, and execute on remote machines, all driven by simple, conversational commands. It’s designed to be easy to install, flexible to configure, and capable of handling multiple servers from a single interface.

How to use

Interact with the MCP server using your preferred MCP client. You can manage servers, read and write files, list directories, and run commands on remote machines. Use natural language prompts to switch active servers, add new ones, remove or edit existing configurations, and perform file and command operations directly on the remote hosts.

How to install

Prerequisites you need on your workstation before starting are Node.js and npm. Install them first, then follow the steps to set up the MCP server for remote control.

# Check Node.js version
node -v

# Check npm version
npm -v

Install steps from manual configuration

Create the MCP server configuration file with a local stdio runtime. This runs the MCP server as a local process and connects via node to the server script.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ssh_filesystem": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "name": "ssh_filesystem",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\mcpaddon\\server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Run the MCP server

Start the MCP server with your preferred runtime. Use your existing editor to point Claude/Desktop to the config file you created. If you are using a Windows environment, ensure the path uses double backslashes.

Additional configuration notes

If you plan to manage multiple servers, you can extend the config with more server blocks under mcpServers. Each entry should specify a unique name and the exact startup command line as shown above.
