Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: remote command execution, file upload, file download, server configuration listing, and directory listing. There is no meaningful overlap or ambiguity between them.
Naming mostly follows a clear verb-object pattern with lowercase hyphenation, like execute-command, list-servers, and list-directory. The standalone upload and download verbs deviate slightly from the hyphenated style but remain intuitive and consistent in intent.
Five tools is well-scoped for an SSH MCP server, covering the essential interactions without unnecessary bloat. Each tool earns its place and the set feels focused.
The set covers command execution, file transfer, directory browsing, and server enumeration, which are core SSH workflows. Minor gaps like missing explicit remote delete, rename, or mkdir tools are workable because command execution can handle those operations.
