Implementation Reference
- src/ssh-client.ts:17-19 (handler)The main handler function for the 'listKnownHosts' tool. It calls the config parser's getAllKnownHosts method to retrieve the list of known SSH hosts.
async listKnownHosts(): Promise<SSHHostInfo[]> { return await this.configParser.getAllKnownHosts(); } - src/types.ts:2-9 (schema)Interface defining the structure of SSHHostInfo, which is the return type of the listKnownHosts tool.
export interface SSHHostInfo { hostname: string; alias?: string; user?: string; port?: number; identityFile?: string; [key: string]: any; // For other configuration options } - src/ssh-config-parser.ts:100-116 (helper)Helper method in SSHConfigParser that implements the core logic: parses ~/.ssh/config for hosts and ~/.ssh/known_hosts for additional hostnames, combining them into SSHHostInfo array.
async getAllKnownHosts(): Promise<SSHHostInfo[]> { const configHosts = await this.parseConfig(); const knownHostnames = await this.parseKnownHosts(); // Add hosts from known_hosts that aren't in the config for (const hostname of knownHostnames) { if (!configHosts.some(host => host.hostname === hostname || host.alias === hostname)) { configHosts.push({ hostname: hostname }); } } return configHosts; }
