kernel-build-mcp
Supports remote Git repository management within the kernel source tree, including fetching updates and performing hard resets to match remote states.
Enables remote Linux kernel cross-compilation, providing tools for full kernel and module-specific builds, applying defconfigs, and retrieving build artifacts and logs.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@kernel-build-mcppull the latest changes and run a full kernel build"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
kernel-build-mcp
MCP server for remote Linux kernel cross-compilation.
Setup
1. Install Tailscale
Install on both Mac and Linux:
# Mac
brew install tailscale
# Linux
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
sudo tailscale upEnable Tailscale SSH on the Linux machine:
sudo tailscale up --sshVerify connectivity from Mac:
# Check Tailscale IP
tailscale ip -4 # on Linux machine
# Test SSH (no keys needed — Tailscale handles auth)
ssh user@100.x.x.xAdd to ~/.ssh/config for convenience:
Host kernel-build
HostName 100.x.x.x
User <user>2. Deploy MCP server to Linux
scp -r . kernel-build:~/kernel-build-mcp/
ssh kernel-build "~/kernel-build-mcp/install.sh"3. Configure
Either edit config on Linux directly:
ssh kernel-build "vi ~/.config/kernel-build-mcp/config.json"Or use the set_config tool from Claude Code after connecting.
4. Connect from Claude Code
Copy .mcp.json to your kernel project:
cp .mcp.json /path/to/SmokeR24.1-kernel/.mcp.jsonOr merge with existing .mcp.json if one exists.
Verify: claude --mcp-debug
