Run a PowerShell script/command on this Windows host in a hidden process (no console window appears). Returns stdout, stderr and exit code. Use for any Windows command, file, or system task.

List Windows services, optionally filtered by a name pattern. Returns Name, DisplayName, Status.

Get detailed status of one Windows service by name.

Start, stop, or restart a Windows service (requires the MCP host process to have sufficient privileges).

Return OS, CPU, memory and disk summary for this Windows host.

Run a command on a remote host over SSH, fully in-process (no ssh.exe, no WSL — works headless). Use for Linux hosts or any OpenSSH target. Auth via privateKeyPath or password. Returns stdout, stderr, exit code.

Run a command on a remote Windows host via PowerShell Remoting (WinRM / Invoke-Command). Native to Windows Server — no SSH server or agent needed on the target, only WinRM enabled. Output captured in-process (no console window).

Upload a local file to a remote host over SFTP, in-process (ssh2 — no scp.exe, no WSL, headless). Use to deploy scripts/configs to Linux hosts.

Download a file from a remote host to this Windows host over SFTP, in-process (ssh2 — no scp.exe, no WSL, headless).

Run a native executable DIRECTLY (no shell) in a hidden process and capture clean stdout/stderr + exit code. Use this for console programs like gh, git, docker, node, python, etc. -- their output is captured reliably, unlike when the same program is run inside run_powershell (where a hidden PowerShell swallows native stdout). Provide the program and an args array (no shell quoting needed).
