ssh_execute

Execute commands on remote hosts via SSH to manage systems and run administrative tasks from the Super Windows CLI MCP Server.

Instructions

Execute a command on a remote host via SSH

Example usage:

{ "connectionId": "raspberry-pi", "command": "uname -a" }

Configuration required in config.json:

{ "ssh": { "enabled": true, "connections": { "raspberry-pi": { "host": "raspberrypi.local", "port": 22, "username": "pi", "password": "raspberry" } } } }

Implementation Reference

  • The primary handler for the 'ssh_execute' tool. It validates the input arguments using Zod, checks SSH configuration, retrieves or creates an SSH connection via the connection pool, executes the command on the remote host, logs to history if enabled, and returns the output with metadata including exit code.
    case "ssh_execute": { if (!this.config.ssh.enabled) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidRequest, "SSH support is disabled in configuration" ); } const args = z.object({ connectionId: z.string(), command: z.string() }).parse(request.params.arguments); const connectionConfig = this.config.ssh.connections[args.connectionId]; if (!connectionConfig) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidRequest, `Unknown SSH connection ID: ${args.connectionId}` ); } try { // Validate command this.validateCommand('cmd', args.command); const connection = await this.sshPool.getConnection(args.connectionId, connectionConfig); const { output, exitCode } = await connection.executeCommand(args.command); // Store in history if enabled if (this.config.security.logCommands) { this.commandHistory.push({ command: args.command, output, timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), exitCode, connectionId: args.connectionId }); if (this.commandHistory.length > this.config.security.maxHistorySize) { this.commandHistory = this.commandHistory.slice(-this.config.security.maxHistorySize); } } return { content: [{ type: "text", text: output || 'Command completed successfully (no output)' }], isError: exitCode !== 0, metadata: { exitCode, connectionId: args.connectionId } }; } catch (error) { const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error); if (this.config.security.logCommands) { this.commandHistory.push({ command: args.command, output: `SSH error: ${errorMessage}`, timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), exitCode: -1, connectionId: args.connectionId }); } throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InternalError, `SSH error: ${errorMessage}` ); } }
  • src/index.ts:209-251 (registration)
    Tool registration in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema definition based on configured SSH connections.
    name: "ssh_execute", description: `Execute a command on a remote host via SSH Example usage: \`\`\`json { "connectionId": "raspberry-pi", "command": "uname -a" } \`\`\` Configuration required in config.json: \`\`\`json { "ssh": { "enabled": true, "connections": { "raspberry-pi": { "host": "raspberrypi.local", "port": 22, "username": "pi", "password": "raspberry" } } } } \`\`\``, inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { connectionId: { type: "string", description: "ID of the SSH connection to use", enum: Object.keys(this.config.ssh.connections) }, command: { type: "string", description: "Command to execute" } }, required: ["connectionId", "command"] } },
  • Core SSH command execution logic in SSHConnection class. Uses ssh2 Client.exec to run the command, captures stdout/stderr, and returns output with exit code. Handles reconnection if needed.
    async executeCommand(command: string): Promise<{ output: string; exitCode: number }> { this.lastActivity = Date.now(); // Check connection and attempt reconnect if needed if (!this.isConnected) { await this.connect(); } return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { this.client.exec(command, (err, stream) => { if (err) { reject(err); return; } let output = ''; let errorOutput = ''; stream .on('data', (data: Buffer) => { output += data.toString(); }) .stderr.on('data', (data: Buffer) => { errorOutput += data.toString(); }); stream.on('close', (code: number) => { this.lastActivity = Date.now(); resolve({ output: output || errorOutput, exitCode: code || 0 }); }); }); }); }
  • TypeScript interface defining the configuration for SSH connections used by the ssh_execute tool.
    export interface SSHConnectionConfig { host: string; port: number; username: string; privateKeyPath?: string; password?: string; keepaliveInterval?: number; keepaliveCountMax?: number; readyTimeout?: number; }
  • SSHConnectionPool class manages persistent SSH connections, creates new ones as needed, handles reconnection, and provides connection for executeCommand.
    export class SSHConnectionPool { private connections: Map<string, SSHConnection> = new Map(); async getConnection(connectionId: string, config: SSHConnectionConfig): Promise<SSHConnection> { let connection = this.connections.get(connectionId); if (!connection) { connection = new SSHConnection(config); this.connections.set(connectionId, connection); await connection.connect(); } else if (!connection.isActive()) { await connection.connect(); } return connection; } async closeConnection(connectionId: string): Promise<void> { const connection = this.connections.get(connectionId); if (connection) { connection.disconnect(); this.connections.delete(connectionId); } } closeAll(): void { for (const connection of this.connections.values()) { connection.disconnect(); } this.connections.clear(); } }
